        That’s part of the joke, because they definitely are in China. There are no restrictions whatsoever on antibiotics in China so they can give you antibiotics for a headache.

        This is why there recently was a surge of drug resistant bacterial pneumonia.

      Not specific to China, can attest it’s pretty widespread throughout Asia to give antibiotics as a placebo.
