Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Antibiotics and COVID-19: Are we leading to a post-antibiotic era? by Bednarčuk et al. is an intersting and timely paper. However, I have some suggestions: 

1. Please improve the quality of the figures 1,2 and 3. 

2. There are few studies in the literature looking at drugs of abuse trend and antimicrobials in the United States. One paper has both wastewater and prescriptions date.  Do you guys have similar conclusion? If so, why? If not why not? These may be different domain but yet an interesting observation for science. 

3. Change the title of the paper. This title is broad and does not justify the work of your nation.
