Several years ago, a friend of mine who was a retired physician told me that he thought the old diseases that were making a come-back would have evolved so much that they would no longer be resistant to the early antibiotics...and we should start over again with them.
TB has to come from somewhere. I suppose if cases are reemerging from their original 1800s source, then the odds are that in the 1800s those cases arrived from England on the ships that brought over the original settlers, so we can make a case for the horrors of immigration from that.
TB did not fade away because of any bizarre natural immunity theory. It faded because it got understood. It would appear in households and in the 1800s this generator to presumption that it was family predisposition. The truth turned out to be that infection required repeated exposure and that took place within a family’s house.
The years of life remaining to a TB infected patient was found to extend if they got out of the city to clean air. And this largely was the cause of the interest in the frontier. Go West, Young Man! Was a mantra not focused on any frontier pioneer spirit. It was fleeing a disease that would take decades off of a life.
I don’t know what the treatment could possibly be if it’s antibiotic resistant. That would put us back into the 1800s before there were antibiotics
All the fags taking antibotics constantly is driving antibiotic resistance
