The U.S. only has around 600 deaths from TB per year. Covid was 100x more deaths with lockdowns and other restrictions factored in. Not even remotely the same

Not even remotely the same thing.
- paganel 5y agoSorry that I wasn't clear, I'm not from the US, I know this is an US-article but I see that push to get to zero covid cases in many places, no matter the continent. Probably covid deaths will trickle down to 500-600 per year in places like the US in a few years, a combination of higher access to vaccines and better health facilities, and the number will remain high in places like India/SE Asia, just like it now happens with TB.
- starlust2 5y agoThe US numbers still show that TB can be mitigated without intrusive widespread restrictions. The majority of deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and SE Asia. That leads me to believe that the differentiator is access to medical care, primarily access to life saving drugs.
