I saw the post that tuberculosis deaths were way up recently, and found this article from WHO.

https://www.who.int/news/item/14-10-2021-tuberculosis-deaths-rise-for-the-first-time-in-more-than-a-decade-due-to-the-covid-19-pandemic

They are anticipating even more deaths in 2021 and 2022 from tuberculosis due to COVID….but blame things like lack of timely treatment as the cause. But then I saw this line:

“For example, approximately, 1.5 million people died from TB in 2020 (including 214 000 among HIV positive people)..”
