I live in Saskatchewan Canada, and our Northern provice, specifically some indigenous communities, have insanely high rates of tuberculosis infections, and due to various societal issues, including lack of access to reliable medical care that far north, the problem isn't getting any better, despite it being 2023. It's such a destructive disease that we shouldn't still be dealing with.

Lots of military people who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan test positive for TB when they get back. It happened to me, and they just started me on the antibiotics until a more accurate test result comes back. Considering how readily available the drugs are in the west, it makes no sense to me that this disease hasn't been eradicated.

Another thing that is important about TB is that treatment is prevention. People who get treated gets their number of bacteria either greatly reduced (paucibacillar) or reduced to zero (nonbacillar) meaning that they can't spread the disease effectively anymore.
So its not just about you but especially abour your loved ones. The mailman is unlikely to get TB from some seconds/minutes of exposure from untreated infected person who is receiving mail, but your family, your neighbors and your coworners, who interact with you for several hours in a week with you, are in great danger of acquiring the infection as well.

My mom had to be treated for it. She has Ankylosing spondylitis, which is an inflammatory arthritis that affects the spine and large joints, she got diagnosed when she was in her late 40ās. She needed to get a medication that would mess with her immune system, so they did a tuberculosis test on her since the medication could activate it if she had it dormant. And turns out my mom did have inactive tuberculosis, so she did 3 months of antibiotics, but that didnāt kill it so she got the 6 months of antibiotics, and after that it was finally gone and she was able to get her medication. Luckily nowadays her Ankylosing spondylitis is like on remission, she doesnāt get the medication anymore but sheās completely pain free.
This wouldnāt have been possible if we didnāt have access to these antibiotics.

In the 1930's it killed my grandfather and my mother was in a sanatorium for a year and a half until she was healthy. This was before antibiotics. You should see her chest X-ray. Even I can see the calcification. She is still going at 101, but gets checked regularly.
