Its been around for millions of years but because it is slow it doesn’t ever get press coverage
That’s because of where those deaths are. I’ve seen 2 cases of active TB working in hospitals in the US in almost 20 years. Both from new immigrants. Sadly it’s “mostly” a third world illness.
I think we say developing countries now.
“I’ve seen two cases of active TB while working in hospitals in a developing country”
Yeah that makes sense too
The US is developing? That’s great news!
The flu averages like 700K deaths every year forever
We can treat and cure TB. But capitalists don’t want to spend the money when it’s not profitable.
Are these “the capitalists” in the room with you right now? JFC dude, the capitalist countries you’re complaining about are also the ones with the lowest TB mortality. Not everything bad is because of “the capitalists.”

Trumplicans: I’m your huckleberry.

Somebody watched the new Kurzgesagt video.
As soon as Kurtzgesagt said John Green I knew what the video would be about. John Green has made TB awareness his mission for a couple of years now.
