Vocabulary: germs and viruses

Human beings have to get used to these enemies even if, in some cases, we now have vaccines against some of them. 

We'll have to repeat, and repeat the same useful tips in case of epidemics, remembering that these tips are not to be forgotten in normal life. Let's wash our hands, let's avoid useless contacts such as multiple handshakes, kisses. Let's avoid large meetings in confined places, and of course, let's stay home - or in hospital - if we're suffering from the disease. We can only hope that our young ones will get used to these measures which are quite unpleasant, I must admit...
