My opinion on the matter is that there is nothing the human race can do to permanently win this theoretical arms race. The precautions that we already take is really the best that we can possibly do. If there was a way for us to cut out all diseases and have a clean world then we would have done it already. Unfortunately, whatever we do the disease will evolve to be immune to that certain treatment. With the numerous amount of ways diseases can spread to different hosts and with us not fully understanding the process of their evolution we have a tall hill to climb when it comes to eradicating diseases. Even in a place that we would think would be the cleanest such as hospitals diseases are still found and can easily spread. (“Hospitals installed more sinks to stop infections. The sinks can make the problem worse”) These are facilities that are cleaned every day and we still cannot control the pathogens there. Unfortunately, it looks like this is a war that will wage on forever.
