Bacteria versus viruses in causing illness

It's interesting to learn how viruses operate v the bacteria that cause infectious disease.

Viruses seem to lie in wait until our body is compromised in some way before launching an assault.

Bacteria seem a more local phenomenon that also flourish under certain conditions.

It seems to be the ingestion of significant numbers of "bad" bacteria that aren't quickly neutralised that cause sickness, which begins quite quickly, whereas with viruses they are something that hibernate in the body until conditions are right for taking control, which can take years.
