In 2018, 1.5 MILLION died from Tuberculosis

Mind if I share this?????

This is with a viable vaccine, and 90% of children being vaccinated for TB. Why weren’t we wearing masks and social distancing for TB, which is transmitted through the air? Just curious as to why we decided to treat Covid-19 differently then more deadly diseases with effective vaccinations.

The obvious answer is less than 9,000 US cases in a year. There are plenty of comparable arguments, TB isn't one of them.

You don't control the people if you don't keep them scared and looking to you for help.

It's 2020 people don't die.
Wuhan flu

Let's see 1.5 mil died from TB with zero social distancing and essentially no mask wearing. Meanwhile, we have mask wearing mandated by law across the world in many countries, extreme social distancing, and a partial shut down of the world's economy and we will pass the total TB deaths by the end of December.

In 2018, there were more than 10 million cases of active TB which resulted in 1.5 million deaths. This makes it the number one cause of death from an infectious disease.

Per CDC,

In 2018, the most recent data available, 542 deaths in the United States were attributed to TB. This is an increase from 515 deaths attributed to TB in 2017.

CDC says most US cases people who arrived from other countries

How many of those were wealthy people or white people in general?

Less than 100 white people die in the US annually from TB and it is usually people with AIDS. If TB fatalities were rampant in upper class, educated white America then they'd probably be losing their minds about that, too.

If only they wore a mask

Good call!
OK, thousands die in auto wrecks, NO more driving! What are these people thinking!
