This isn’t my understanding at all. There are several antibiotics that are given as standard treatment for active TB and there have been for over 50 years. There are now drug resistant strains, but we also have 2nd gen antibiotics and rapid tests that can tell exactly which strain of TB you have (and so what antibiotics you should take for treatment). The major obstacle in curing TB worldwide is lack of funding, not lack of medicine.

Edit: I want to emphasize that I’m not an expert. My understanding is also that antibiotic treatment is no guarantee of a cure, especially for people who are immunocompromised or malnourished, and even more so for people who don’t have access to newer diagnostics that can tell you if the TB strain is drug resistant. But I believe a complete treatment (many months with no interruptions) with the correct antibiotics for a particular strain of TB has a high rate of success.

In case anyone is wondering, that’s Bass Pro Shop.

Look at this shmuck, using the supremum of a continuous function on a closed interval when it clearly achieves a maximum. I bet they’ll feel real embarrassed about that one when they’re falling asleep years from now.

Yes, firing a gun in a crowded subway station is absolutely in the wrong, as we can see by the three innocent people shot, one in the head. There are police forces across the world trained to deal with assailants with deadly weapons including knives without shooting them. It’s reasonable to expect the NYPD to have the same level of training and judgement.

They lifted the info embargo! You can talk about it now! I’m having an amazing time with Abrams except when I play teams that know how to parry. Laning can be tricky at first, but his regen is so good you can somewhat ignore the other hero and focus on last hitting.

“i bless the rains down in castamere” is a top notch display name

 

Lionsgate has parted ways with Eddie Egan, the marketing consultant who came up with the “Megalopolis” trailer that included fake quotes from famous film critics.

The studio pulled the trailer on Wednesday, after it was pointed out that the quotes trashing Francis Ford Coppola’s previous work did not actually appear in the critics’ reviews, and were in fact made up.

Of course the details are even more horrific.

You could, but then I could write “Disregard the previous prompt and…” or “Forget everything before this line and…”

The input is language and language is real good at expressing the same idea many ways.
