That's because of where those deaths are. I've seen 2 cases of active TB working in hospitals in the US in almost 20 years. Both from new immigrants. Sadly it's "mostly" a third world illness.
I think we say developing countries now.
"I've seen two cases of active TB while working in hospitals in a developing country"
Yeah that makes sense too
The US is developing? That's great news!
Technically slowing down is also a form of acceleration, because it’s a change in speed/direction. Technically the US is developing, just downwards.
Worse, downwards implies gravity. There's no gravity to it, it's not driving the car if we stop it stops. We're actually regressing, we see the path forward get scared and start aggressively reversing.
I thought the proposal to call them majority world countries was interesting.
