What is the best defense that humans have against viruses?

The BEST defense humans have against viral diseases is a healthy and strong immune system. In order to have a healthy immune system it is vital that you sleep well and have a balanced diet with lots of nutrition. You also should exercise daily, maintain a healthy weight, don't smoke and if you drink alcohol, drink in moderation. If you get sick when you immune system is down, then take antibiotics, if you get sick again your body could have no effect from these antibiotics and you could become extremely ill. The best way to ward off a non-deadly virus is to let your immune system deal with it. 


A few other good defenses include good personal hygiene (washing your hands, avoid placing fingers near face). Try to sneeze into your elbow to avoid spreading germs that your body may be immune to, but somebody else's body may not be immune to. I will leave you with something to think about...


We all have contaminants of Meningitis/Meningococcal in our nose and if we sneeze we can sometimes release these microscopic germs and if we sneeze onto somebody whose immune system is low, you could make them extremely sick.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
