TB like every other bacterium will become resistant to the anti-biotics that are currently used to treat them.

Yep, and with TB there aren't that many. And it isn't the only one coming back - a couple of months ago I was startled to see a sign in front of the local big-box drug store: "Pertussis vaccine". What's old is new again.

Tuberculosis, which is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium, was once the leading cause of death in the United States, the CDC said on its website.

MRSA has become very scary.

I would recommend to anyone to have any surgical treatment as an out patient in a doctor’s office if possible. Hospitals just can’t be trusted anymore.

And it will only get worse as ObamaCare takes hold. Hospitals are currently woefully understaffed. This leads to nurses and doctors to taking short cuts on hand washing protocols which leads to the spread of infections.

When ObamaCare’s cost cutting really takes hold staff cuts will be severe and we will see more and more cases of hospital spread infections killing thousands that otherwise would have lived.

Hubby worked in a small town full of illegals for many years. Lots of cases of drug resistant TB, Pertussis, and even 1 case of leprosy. They are bringing back all the old diseases.
