      I hope so. All the times disease mutate, but we always can adapt our treatments to compensate for this. Sometimes it takes us longer to adapt then the disease though, but most of the time we can do something to aid the bodies immune system

      Yes – although some of the newer diseases are quite difficult to treat, we can use what we know about other diseases to try to come up with treatments for new ones

      Yes, there are always new infections and new diseases popping up, but also plenty of people working out what they are and finding cures. It’s a part of life!
