    The Nordic states of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland have some of the lowest HAI rates in the world.

    Denmark especially do not administer antibiotics as a cure all answer rather allowing the patients immune system to fight the virus as nature intended.

    Cases of MRSA and C Diff are extremely low and bacteria which are resistant to antibiotics are almost unheard of for the simple reason that medical staff do not relie on antibiotics to treat every ailment.

    The rest of the world should be following Denmarks example but the huge drug companies may have a few words to say against that idea.
