Reflection:
Tuberculosis is a potentially serious infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs. In the article, it explained how many people are suffering and dying by TB. There are currently 7.1 billion people in the earth and the population is still continuing to grow. Many people will suffer and spread TB until everyone dies. But a good thing is that doctors can still find treatment for diseases like this.
