Hey there, time traveller!

Medical experts like Dr. Earl Hershfield warned for decades that TB will never go away unless the standard of living among First Nations improves. The warning went unheeded, and the disease simmered under the radar and declined throughout the 1980s and ’90s until it surged in the last few years. Annual TB cases reported in Manitoba:
1968 – 230
1977 – 160
1989 – 100
1996 – 97
2008 – 141
2009 – 156
