While nearly everyone knows about the damage and severity of
the HIV virus, many people don’t know that Tuberculosis kills the second most
people of any infectious disease according to the WHO. In 2011, nearly 10
million people contracted the disease, and 1.4 million died from it. What’s shocking about tuberculosis is that we
have very effective and fairly simple cure. Unfortunately in poorer countries
no one can afford these medications, so many die from a completely treatable
disease.
