13. In order to prevent a virus outbreak from becoming a pandemic, which of the following actions would make MOST sense for a government to take?
a. Provide chicken noodle soup to all citizens, twice a day
b. Help with the fast production of antibiotics to treat infected patients
c. Do not allow infected individuals to travel outside of the country
d. Give infected individuals a vaccine to fight off and cure the virus

c. Do not allow infected individuals to travel outside of the country

Explanation:

a - Chicken noodle soup doesn't cure illnesses.

b - Antibiotics are for bacterial infections, not viruses. Giving someone with a virus an antibiotic can start antibiotic resistance. (when a body gets used to an antibiotic and it doesn't work on the person anymore)

d - Vaccines aren't cures. They stimulate the body BEFORE someone gets sick to help the cells recognize the sickness and slow the effects/stop the spread if someone does get sick.
