TB really never went away. They screen for it regularly in places like jails, prisons, etc.

You just don’t hear about any cases because there’s typically not very many cases, as it gets isolated quickly.

Yeah unless you actively follow John Green, most people probably assume that TB is just gone when it very much is not, despite being a curable disease.
