About 5000 people die every day from TB (about 1.8 million) a year. If TB is left unchecked for the next 20 years, 1 billion new infections will occur, 230 million of those will develop active TB, and 35 million will die. TB is getting worse and is feeding the HIV epidemic, just as the HIV epidemic is feeding the TB epidemic. TB is completely cureable in most cases. The stats above come from UNAIDS and stoptb.org
