Germany and Tuberculosis?

 Back in the mid-1990s....I was one of those people who went off to a area of the world that had a fair amount of tuberculosis, and I acquired it.  I ended up going through a nine-month regiment of pills and came to a happy conclusion.  

Oddly, I have this fascination with TB....knowing the full (and rich) history. 

This AM, I read through a German news piece.  The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has deemed TB now a problem in Germany....noting by the end of 2021....almost 4,000 cases for the year.

A big deal?  I would suggest from the 'read' that there's probably more interest now than any point in the past hundred years.  Actually testing people?  No.....if you showed symptoms....then they'd go to the test.
