How to Get Rid of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a huge disease that's killed over the last 200 years, about a billion people. What basically fixed it was we got antibiotics. We know how to get rid of it around 40s, 50s. Yet as the world's leading infectious disease killer, yet virtually nobody cares about it because we don't get it anymore. The big problem right now is that we believe we don't know. About 10 or 11 million people get tuberculosis every year, but we only diagnose about six of them. And 45% of people who remain untreated die from this.
