Why doesnt prescribing antibiotics to humans everytime they have a disease will not help elminate diseases caused by bacteria?
Because the CONDITIONS that caused the illness and disease are still present. Antibiotics are a shortcut that don't fix the real problems. Proper nutrition, physical activity, sleep, sunlight, and water and the only ways to change the conditions in your body from disease to health.
Why can antibiotics be useful in treating bacterial diseases but not in treating viral diseases?
Antibiotics kill the bacteria but not the people by affecting parts of the bacterial system that humans do not share. Viruses use the person's own systems to do most functions and so not have the same or as many targets for the drugs. There are some antiviral drugs but now as many as antibiotics.
