Oh and TB is a disease of affluence. It is directly connected to living conditions and most prevalent in poor areas (yes, even the areas that have been vaccinated against it).Killer viruses are spread by contact between humans....regardless of the *conditions* if you have humans in close contact with each other...in schools, for instance...in the stores....at work...then the conditions are perfect for transmission of polio, TB, smallpox, influenza, measles.
People don't get those diseases because they're in bad conditions. They get them because they come into contact with people, and they aren't vaccinated.
And the more people who aren't vaccinated, the more die.
And the people who are at the highest risk...kids, old people, and people who are already sick.
So if you are okay with putting those people at risk because you have the mistaken belief that just because those diseases aren't as common now, they aren't as big a threat, go for it.
They aren't common now, here, because we have innoculations that protect us from them. It has nothing to do with *conditions*. The only *condition* that can protect you from influenza, small pox, or polio is the *condition* that completely isolates you from outside human contact.
