Tuberculosis is a contagious infection caused by bacteria, which mostly affects the lungs Tuberculosis isn't a new infection, most people have been aware since the 19th century but naturally, not all further generals unless people have studied it. It was discovered by Doctor Robert Koch in 1882. Back then very few pulled though because it was so unknown about it, what caused, how to prevent, and protect it. This went on for years in fact probably the 20th century before they found a cure. Its possible people were even facing it through the first and second world wars. Lots of people may have even died of TB long in fact maybe centuries before Dr. Robert Koch discovered it. However' we have seen a huge improvement in falls since then but we can never say it will be completely gone. The latest numbers have been according to my research.
Just ten percent of cases in 2018, 5.7 of men, 3.2 of women, and 1.1 in children.
These cases were in eight countries India, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and South Africa.
This year 2020 the numbers have now fallen to 2% by a year 4 - 50 %.
58 million lives have been saved between 2000 to 2018. According to my research, the TB element should be going down by 2030.
Sadly Conarvirus is pretty similar if not the same but very new and everyone is learning about it, just like it was once with TB but changes in lifestyle, living conditions, etc. Another one similar we are still learning about is SAR, which many cases reported from American back in 2001ish.
They are all caused by bacteria. It is hard to understand why there are so many different names as the years go by, the symptoms are the same but similar in so many different ways such as fever, fatigue, cough, etc.
However' TB causes low fever, strangely in the afternoon, night sweats, and weight loss. A high fever does not appear in the early stages. It is also common to cough up sputum and blood with TB.
COVID 19 are fever, fatigue, dry cough, breathing difficulties, runny nose, or diarrhea.
TB can spread from person to person through the air, germs such as cough, sneeze, and spit.
I am no health professional but it is strange, we are probably aware more so with COVID 19 than we were with TB of how to protect and prevent but we still have a long way to go.
The most high risk of people are vulnerable people such as babies, children, disabled people, those with illnesses, etc already, diabetes, HIV, tobacco users, cancer, etc but when it comes to viruses, infections, etc we are all vulnerable.
However' this does not mean that life should stop because of it, more protection is needed such as masks, gloves, etc, in workplaces, etc, where it now gets to the stage where no one is allowed to walk out the door without. If you can't buy them make them if you can't do either of those get someone to do so. Workplaces etc need to be health and safety guard for people to be able to live lives as equal as possible.
However' COVID 19 may have been going on longer to what we have been aware, the same as TB may have been.
I am no health professional as I say but as a guess, I may be wrong but if I am right it is likely to be something we may forget about. Also, if this is so, we need to be very careful. Although there may be a slit improvement since the 19th century there needs to be more improvement. Not forgetting what is around us, such as chemicals. dust etc. There are lot of chemicals in most foods and cleaning liquids etc plus the air that we breathe.
Not forgetting that in the 1800s people worked in coal mines, factories, chimney sweeps, workhouses, etc, which I know is very different to today's environment but do we need to make improvements there? That we need to research into.
