Over 1.6 million die from Tuberculosis every year. 10.6 million will fall ill of it. (10 million !!)

And you thought COVID was a killer. Check out the WHO cares link!

TB is only contagious with long term contact with an infected person. It's not like measles which is highly contagious with little contact.

Exactly Allison! TB is more common in crowded facilities, homeless shelters, prisons, and the like.
