      Going to stake out a position on this one- also not a cure, you’re just stopping the spread of disease. The limb you just cut off is not cured in any form. Those bacteria are living just fine.

      It’s like cutting a firebreak in the woods during a wildfire, it’s not actually putting out the fire, just containing it. Maybe I’m being too pedantic, but many of these examples do not seem like cures to me.

      If you think my idea of “cure” sucks just tell me, don’t drive by downvote. I could be wrong, it’s happened many times before. I’m here for a discussion, maybe you can change my view. It’s just IMO, many of these are not cures.
