When I was a kid, around 1,800,000 people died every year of tuberculosis. Now, around 1,250,000 do.
That's important progress. But at this current rate, it'll take a CENTURY to push TB deaths much below 500,000 per year. That's totally unacceptable for a curable, preventable disease.

We may have an answer to the “mystery illness” in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Here's what the story reveals about America’s global health commitments.

I'm doing final edits on Everything Is Tuberculosis, and I can't stop adding stuff. I spent 3 years on the book, but I am not done. I must mention the tongue swab tests. I must let you know about the new app made in Lesotho that aids in contact tracing. Also did you know about the Adirondack Chair.
