I mean....yeah, we should. If we want to pretend like we care about people in other countries.

In the US in 2017, a total of 515 people died from it for the whole year. So given the current daily deaths from COVID, that's about 12 hours of COVID deaths....so maybe its understandable that the US isn't particularly worried about it on a grand scale? Not to mention that there is a vaccine available for those that may be at risk or exposed. All of Europe in 2016 had 26,000 deaths from TB versus the ~200,000 Europeans or so that have died from COVID in the past 6 months.

Almost every drug commercial tells me I should be tested for it. I should be worried, no? LOL.

paging @Hstead again. sparc here says almost every drug commercial tells him to get tested for TB. I'm going to take that super literally and then accuse him of lying unless you can come in a save the day real quick. Cuz I'm guessing Shaq doesn't whisper to get tested for TB while he's telling me about Icy Hot.......but here's sparc telling me he does that.

Hey, I'm not here to tell anybody what to worry about. Personally, my biggest worry in life is the baggage retrieval system at Heathrow.

There is common sense and there is worrying about things you can't control like if your plane will crash on takeoff. Understanding the difference is what makes us intelligent not animals just reacting to everything as fight or flight.don'tpanic.jpeg

Yeah I mean we all know you didn't mean it really when you posted that every other country has it figured out and when you look around only the US seems to be spiking. We know you were just kidding. It was obvious you really knew what you were talking about and aren't a moron.

No, I know. My decades upon decades of watching CNN had me thinking I could say "most countries who don't tout themselves as the greatest in the world have pretty much figured it out." and not have it mean EVERY SIGNLE OTHER COUNTRY THAT HAS EVER OR WILL EVER EXIST HAS IT FIGURED OUT. Or when I say "I just look around and see that cases are spiking in this country while not in other countries" and not have it mean ONLY THE UNITED STATES HAS CASES THAT ARE SPIKING AND NOT EVEN ONE SINGLE OTHER COUNTRY HAS THAT.

Fucking CNN.
