If they didnt want to stay in with covid they sure won't want to stay in either TB. If they didnt like the mask they really aren't going to like the PAPR the nurses wear when treating them.

In the battle between business interests and protecting the lives of citizens from a serious, rapidly spreading illness, business interests will always win. Well, technically, the disease will win in the end, but business takes precedence in the eyes of public officials in the United States.

TB is the most common cause of death in people living with HIV - another virus that weakens the immune system.

I wondered why 2,302 people enrolled in a 2024 continuing education class on how to manage #tuberculosis in #LongCovid.

There's a shot for that one. We got it at elementary school back in the 70's. And the Polio sugar cube was delicious.

I remember reading that there was a large drop in TB incidence after the 1918 flu, esp. in people in their 20s-30s. The assumption being that a number the the victims of the 1918 flu pandemic were people weakened by latent TB.

Ironic that the subheading is “wash your hands” but in the middle of the article it says “It spreads through the air when people speak or cough.”

One solution is to implement the standard that CDC and now California recommends of > 5 air changes per hour of clean air in all occupied spaces.

Yes.

Trump released the virus from China when he removed 2/3 of the 'Virus Police' from that country. Imagine removing 2/3 of the firehouses from a big city.
Red States were especially punished.
The punishment will now enter a new phase.

2. This paper was published in 2022, and its conclusion is extremely prescient:

Yep.

yup. this has been being predicted, and then as it happens, tracked over the past several years. But of course that hasn't happened in the public eye so people are baffled where the heck TB has erupted from. arrrrgh.
