With attention focused on coronavirus, undiagnosed and untreated TB cases will cause 1.4 million to die, research suggests
The head of a global partnership to end tuberculosis (TB) said she is “sickened” by research that revealed millions more people are expected to contract the disease as a result of Covid-19 restrictions.
Up to 6.3 million more people are predicted to develop TB between now and 2025 and 1.4 million more people are expected to die as cases go undiagnosed and untreated during lockdown. This will set back global efforts to end TB by five to eight years.
“The fact that we’ve rolled back to 2013 figures and we have so many people dying, this for me is sickening,” said Lucica Ditiu, executive director of the Stop TB Partnership. “I am outraged that just by not being able to control what we do … and forgetting about programmes that exist we lose so much, starting with the loss of the lives of people.”
There is currently no TB vaccine for adults, only one for children.

May 6, 2000?
TB is primarily prevalent in mal-nutrition conditions. US of America has opposite problem, over-nutrition and Obesity. TB will never be huge here. Of course those with COPD, smokers, and other comorbidities are vulnerable to any disease including TB and covid.
See what happens when Dubya ignores the COVID-99?
Once again the law of unintended (?) consequences. And as sure as the sun will rise the next morning the fake news media will tell us women, POC, LGBT/FUBARS,etc will be hardest hit.
The actual date is May 2020.
They were using a crystal ball.................
Could the TB germs be present in the masks?
CLOSE THE BORDER !
Los and lots TB cases rolling into and being distributed across the USSA.
TB or not TB, that is the question…
Consumption be done about it?
Of cough!!!
We need TB equity. It isn’t fair western white nations don’t have as much TB as s holes. Better bring in a few million infected.
“Could the TB germs be present in the masks?”
**********************************************
You mean those “warm, moist, repeatedly reused” masks?
Could be. And those new anti fungal medication resistant funguses that are evolving? There’s going to be more fungus amongst us.
But if the lockdowns save just one life... who cares how many other lives it costs?
In your own mask? No unless you are already infected with TB.
With the border open oodles will be coming in, if not here already, with TB.
THE SKY IS FALLING!!!
Lockdowns likely killed more people than they helped.....and destroyed many small businesses. Add TB to the increased cancers, weight gain, suicides, anxiety/depression, overdoses, substance abuse, child and domestic abuse....... Where is the data that lockdowns (other than brief ones) work?

His question was not about the unwashed illegals, it was specifically about his own mask. I can’t see how our own mask can carry a load of TB germs if one is not infected.
And definitely letting the illegals walk-in unchecked is a disgusting misuse of responsibility by the admin in power.
