Well, there is a treatment for Chickety China, the Chinese Sicken. It's disappering too fast for a vaccine to be created.
Overall, though, just because a treatment exists doesn't mean that one would still want to get it. If one gets WuFlu, odds are that one is asymptomatic (assuming the test results aren't faked) at best, and at worst one has to go to the hospital and be on oxygen for a few hours while they wait for the triple cocktail to kick in.
A vaccine can (at least for bacterial cases, anyway) prevent getting infected, but one has to actually take that vaccine in order for it to work. Ask yourself, and ask others: when was the last time you actually received a TB vaccine? Better yet, how up-to-date is your tetanus shot? One is only a major puncture wound away from needing one...
I mean that’s all well and good but that doesn’t really account for the incidence rates of both. Like maybe a lot of us are not fully up to date on their vaccines (I mean I am and I thought most people were but I could be wrong about that) but even so your chances of catching TB are next to none. There were only 9,088 cases of TB in the US in 2017 (the year the pede cited above) and 515 deaths. Like TB might suck but that’s a 0.003% chance you get TB any given year and the number is shrinking over .8% of people in the US have had serious enough cases of Wuflu and that’s growing exponentially again. Even with the lowering death rate more Americans are dying of Wuhan every day than Americans die of TB each year. Like yah getting TB is worse but if you get a bad case of Corona then it’s still an average of 11 days in the hospital with the new treatment, that’s still a rough time. And I’m very healthy but have pretty bad asthma so it’s still a risk for me and a lot of people like me that I’ll get a bad case if I catch (there are certainly more than 9,000 of us who are at a moderate risk). I probably won’t die but it would still suck. Treatment for TB last months and months but symptoms go away after around 3 weeks are pretty similar symptoms to corona just for a longer time. So unless the odds of any given person having a bad case of corona are within 10 times more common then having a bad case of TB, Id say it’s a pretty bad comparison. And since .04% of Americans have already died of Corona thus with extreme methods taken to slow the spread, the number of cases requiring hospitalizations is probably been around .2% of Americans so that is way above TB and not a good comparison.
Use other things with high numbers of fatalities like stroke or heart disease. That’s a much more effective argument than TB.
