    It was only a matter of time before most of humanity got wiped out by a virulent disease. I just thought it would take a good year or two.

      Well at least TB was a predictable option for a world ending disease

          Only because rich countries don’t provide poor countries with antibiotics needed to fight it.

          TB is a bacterial infection. It is easily diagnosed and treated with even substandard attention from a doctor.

          The fact that it’s spreading so rapidly in America is highly concerning not because TB is super infectious, but because it’s so easy to treat and prevent.

            Antibiotics are becoming less and less effective and drug-resistant TB already exists.
