This comment seems ironic given the username.

I don't blame you, friend. I can't wait until those bastards wind up with a taste of their own not-quite-medicine, yk?

Do give you an idea of the infectious nature of TB, they are also naturally resistant to some antibiotics due to them possessing a waxy outer coat in combination to their cell wall. They also divide pretty slowly adding another layer of protection. So you need specific antibiotics to get through them. As you know tb forms nodules in your lungs where it becomes somewhat dormant, a granuloma of sorts. Antibiotics resistance in TB is a real big problem too, TB is famous for being multi drug resistant in some strains.

I went to an RV show last spring to get ideas and a rack for my van. Some redneck gave me covid. It induced RA as a reaction and today I can barely walk despite all the rheumatology meds.

Fuck all of these people.

You know what? I was getting really pissed and worked up because of this new whatever you call it way of ruling countries not giving a single fuck for anything - but right now I'm like, you know what? Just torch the place. These ideologies coming back and fucking everything up from nature down to our fellow humans is just proof we no longer deserve to exist and are hardwired to destroy ourselves. Lets welcome chaos, WITH KINDNESS, it's the only way to go. I'm still ready to die in my hills, but fuck it, I'm finally ready to welcome the last millennium. FTAGHN
