A tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history. 66 active cases and 79 latent infections in the Kansas City, Kansas.

Only in some countries. Somewhere between 1/3 and 1/4 of the entire population of the world is infected with TB. Covid only made this worse in part because access to treatment became less consistent from 2020-2022.

Edit:

My point with this comment was that TB never "became history" outside of the imperial core. It has long posed the single highest healthcare burden from a single infectious disease despite being virtually unknown in the imperial core.

Covid temporarily unseated TB from its number 1 spot, but this wasn't because the TB burden was relieved and people were cured. The healthcare burden of covid has decreased (not because it went away) and now TB is number 1 again.

Like 1/4 people in the world have TB and you can carry it without knowing
