I remember seeing this in the news a couple years ago. Journalists are usually very alarmist when it comes to TB. Maybe the sensationalism helps sell their news.

With all the panic and alarmism seen with TB, I thought it was strange to see pictures like this from a Sanatarium in the 1960s. Note the patients smiling and the nurses aren't wearing masks.

They were using streptomycin back then, so most survived.
