In my extreme old age I am thinking about my years with TB, 1955-1957 (and part of 1954, before I knew).

 Washington Post News

Before the coronavirus, tuberculosis was the world’s leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, taking more lives each year than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. But tuberculosis is also curable and preventable, caused by a bacillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and spread when people who are sick expel bacteria into the air, usually by coughing.

BUT TB IS NOT "CURABLE"; IT IS JUST CONTROLLABLE.
