Provided you aren’t an idiot and can take Medication as prescribed. TB isn’t the killer it once was for the developed world. In fact I dare say it’d be unusual to die with it in the developed world.

There’s usually a few thousand up to 10,000+ cases every year in the U.S. And by the articles own admission.

Most tuberculosis cases in the US are imported or due to migration into the country, the CDC says, with most patients coming from outside America's borders.

So if I had to guess. The cases are primarily concentrated in immigrant both legal and illegal heavy industries. With the odd case among the American Supervisors or their families. And the main cause for concern is there isn’t a readily obvious source yet. Rather than any true concern about dealing with the Disease itself.

Granted the Article is 99% panic bait and mostly focused on how nasty the Disease is if left untreated. Only really glossing over that it was essentially a non-factor here for decades
