And don't be fooled by the TB toll being at the bottom of the list. Disruption to ongoing treatment also offers TB a golden opportunity to develop more treatment resistance. 310,000/year is already horrifying, but it can get much worse for all of us.
The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB
