World TB Day

3/24/2021

Did you know that March 24th is World TB Day? This important annual event commemorates the date in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB). We have been examining the parallels between the two diseases, and looking at the history of public health efforts around TB to examine the current pandemic. We produced this graphic for museum visitors that looks at the differences between TB and Covid, and the causes, symptoms, and effects of both.
Learn more about World TB Day, and find out how the clock is ticking on this deadly disease from the World Health Organization.

I'm just too happy that everything is in place for me now. I would gladly recommend the use of spell to any one going through marriage problems and want to put an end to it by emailing Dr Emu through emutemple@gmail.com and that was where I got the help to restore my marriage.
