Fly, what I believe regarding ivermectin is irrelevant. I'm an accountant - LHS=RHS with some interpretations thrown in, not immuniologist or health/disease expert. I am not going into details of treatment, causes who is doing things better, trying to interpret stats that experts have already interpreted for something I don't understand.
Regards to TB (and plenty of other illnesses/viruses/diseases and issues), simplistically, there has been a lot of progress in educating communities, getting clean water systems to remote areas, economic empowerment and many other initiatives. The effect that Covid has had on these communities in such a short time removes a lot of the gains, as people are in strict survival mode and the health systems can't cope. At this client, we know the circumstances of the people that we are working in and know that life is tough - really tough. This is now on a different level.
