I seriously doubt TB has killed more then the plague.
TB vs malaria vs plague
It becomes a contest of numbers. There is evidence of TB infection 9000 years ago. It has the advantage of being able to infect goats and cows, and then pass along to humans. It is thought to have gotten to South America on seals and otters. This runs the count up pretty high. Malaria is in the 10s of billions, but the strains in Asia, Africa and S. America differ and are not all of them deadly.
Plague didn’t have enough millions alive to run up much of a score.
LOL, you should read up on the plagues, there were several out breaks and they all started in Asia.
fwiw... Ukraine has the fourth-highest TB incidence in the WHO European Region and the fifth-highest number of confirmed cases of extensively drug-resistant TB in the world.
The open border **is** Joe Biden’s fault. A well regulated border would prevent those with TB from entering the U.S.
On the upside, you can watch the vectors blowing wads of “sanctuary money” in the stores right before they go out and get in their new Land Rovers because Caddy Escalades are so passé.
There was a reason for Ellis Island !!
It protected the United States from unwanted criminals and many communicable diseases that we had already eradicated here .
Now we have Joe's legacy of crime and disease all for the sake of DemoncRATic power.
The Pink Saliva and Red Phlegm from your lungs, should be “clues”...
My niece and family was shocked when she was diagnosed with TB before starting med school in the early 2000s. I wasn’t. If one is that highly educated and moneyed, they should know better than to go camping/ slumming/ backpacking in places like Mexico. As a flaming liberal, it’s no surprise she ignored history or any theory of medicine.
Are they really buying cars? The drivers in NYC have suddenly gotten very rude, blasting their horns when the cars in front of them are waiting for people to cross the street, or when an intersection is temporarily blocked. It’s a constant racket.
My least favorite one is when they blow their horn when stopped by a red light after they start to make a left turn from what’s called a dual roadway—like Broadway. By NY State law, you must wait until you have the green light on the cross street.
For a very good reason. Because you can’t see if anything is coming. Especially with all the new bushes and trees on the median.
New Yorkers finally learned this, but now . . . bring your earmuffs.
From what I’ve been told they must be “ just” leasing them.
I don’t own a vehicle “ newer” than 2005 and it has a transmission repair I e been waiting on to happen two years now.
Driving a 22 year old PT Loser in the meantime.
I’m just the wrong combo of things to get free money and cars, it seems.
Aha. Makes sense. I guess they need a car to visit their friends in other hotels.
By the way, friend tells me it's "carriageway," not "roadway." Must be an old law.
I got to tour Ellis Island about 20 years ago. There were very thorough medical inspections on immigrants. Those who didn’t pass were sent home. No exceptions.
