Tuberculosis is such a huge society (capitalism?) failure story.
We had all the needed tool to eradicate it.
But we didn't.
Mainly because of organizational and monetary reasons.
Now this illness many have treated as "conquered" is coming back with more and more antibiotics resisted strands.
And this trend only gets accelerated due to many poor areas not being able to provide the needed treatment for many of the more vicious strands anymore as they don't have the kind of antibiotics necessary for it.
I wonder if 50 or so years in the future we have to have tuberculosis isolation centers again where we have to place patients with it again due to some extra bad fully antibiotic resistant strands which we can't treat anymore... would be horrible.
