Show Notes
Tuberculosis cases surge in Johnson County, Iowa, straining public health resources and leading to a rise in spending on contact tracing, home visits, and quarantine. Nationwide, cases hit a ten-year high in 2024, with thirty-four states and the District of Columbia seeing increases. Immigrant communities are particularly affected, with language barriers and stigma making the disease spread easier. Fear from immigration crackdowns and proposed funding cuts further complicate the situation.
