The thing with tb tho is that 22 could be 22,000 right quick.
To anyone who thinks this is an exaggeration, remember my coworkers:
Most believe vaccines will kill you before old age does
Most believe doctors are never going to provide a real cure because then they'd be out of a job
Most believe masks make more people sick than they keep from getting sick
And most disgustingly, most of the guys I work with don't wash their hands and the ones that do usually just wash BEFORE they go, and then put their hands all over things in the bathroom, even before lunch.
If my coworkers are like this, imagine how many more people all around you every day are like that, or worse.
