      I was a Navy Corpsman and there are tons of Filipinos in the Navy, because of a Naval presence in their country, and a fast track to citizenship etc for Filipinos who enlist.
      Tons of Filipinos would have a reaction to that TB test, you know the test where a tiny bit of dead TB or whatever is injected in the forearm, then a day or two or whatever later they look at the site and measure the reaction, if any, in terms of how many millimeters it swells.
      But yeah, maybe half of the Filipinos would have an extreme reaction, because of prior exposure to tuberculosis, even if it didn't cause an actual infection. It's wild how much a positive reaction swells, 65mm etc, they often get a great big old goose egg from it

      My grandmother's mother passed away at 28yrs old of tuberculosis, when she was 5 and her little sister was only 8months old. She has a picture of her and her baby sis sitting on their mother, on her bed, when she was sick. She passed away about a week after the pic was taken. I was shocked when I found out she was actively sick w tuberculosis when the pic was taken, the babies sitting on her! She said she wasn't sure if they knew it was so contagious through air, which surprises me. This would've been about 1932

      Yeah I was confused about this too. It is not that the virus is better than the antibiotics that we have. It's that you have trained it. How to be better within your body. Because you never finish your rounds of antibiotics as prescribed. And for a long time, antibiotics were given for everything because it was thought that it wasn't dangerous and people don't really listen when you won't give them something for their virus. But viruses don't last as long, typically, So people rarely finish their antibiotics.
      As well as a culture of thinking that it didn't matter if you did sure didn't finish them once you start feeling better.
      These viruses are not anymore or less stronger. Your body you individually are more compromised because of your failure to complete your antibiotics full round over your lifetime.
      But the way the information is given. You would think that we're creating new viruses that can go from person to person.
      It is more that we systemically have had a problem with handing out antibiotics like candy and then not finishing them. I think it really affects those born before 2000.
      They have been doing a lot of marketing to get the word out about the dangers of not completing your antibiotic rounds now that I don't think Zoomers and Gen Alpha look at antibiotics as everybody before them did. They are well aware of the danger everybody else was not aware of until it became a common problem that therapies that should work, aren't for a lot of ppl. Antibiotics were handed out like candy, they thought it was the same as a sugar pill for those who didn't really need it.
      They were very wrong.

    my great grandma was a carrier for tuberculosis. she lived to 88 years old, but she did struggle with bronchitis every year. i grew up around her every day, and when i became a nurse i had to be tested for tuberculosis every so often (as did the rest of the staff). i think that's a rule in a lot of healthcare professions. i was always negative luckily because she was only a carrier

      If great grandma was a carrier u would have to inhale TB germ since it is airborne by coughing. Carriers of certain illnesses make other people sick not themselves. One reason u probably did not get sick was u were not around her when she was coughing. Here in NYC if u test positive for TB u take a chest x-ray and the medication INH for a year. Even with the treatment u have to take a PPD (TB test) every year. If u have been exposed ur PPD will have a positive result meaning eventhough u have been treated. U were just lucky u were not exposed

    7:35 It's shocking to imagine that people ridiculed this painting, "Syk Pike" ("Sick Girl") when the artist, Edward Munch, first had it exhibited in the period when Impressionism blossomed in France. The main focus was on the hand of the girl, that was termed to look like "fish pudding", a Norwegian dish I've never had any taste for, perhaps for being a fan of Munch in my early teens. Anyway: That they missed the whole atmosphere in the picture, the mother wasting away in sorrow, and the girl in illness.
    You got yourself a new subscriber by the way. Very good content, and you have such a pleasant voice to serve as a narrator of these stories, very good pronunciation of many European languages. I only noticed one small error in it all, pronouncing "scourge" (skörje) as "scrounge" (skranj), two very different things. 🙂

      Those kinds of channels you're speaking of boil down to being illiterate. Standards of literacy have been in a headlong free fall most drastically for about the last ten years, it seems to me. While I'd say Forgotten Lives presents as somewhat refreshingly literate, there's a bit of room for improvement. I noticed just a few words that were a little off (& one of them could have been "heiress" as mentioned in other replies here, I don't remember, but still nothing to get in a twist about, & likely due to differences between British & American English) but the only word I really noticed as being an egregious mis-pronunciation was FL saying "scrowge" instead of "scourge" while reading, closer to the end of the video. Not enough to really take anything away from the overall quality of the video, which was well presented & an interesting story, but like I said, there's room for improvement.

I appreciate the simplicity and dignity of your story telling and for me it’s a great combination of history and what I’d almost consider pop culture. Random - I live in the US. I was tested for TB in 1983 when I contracted a cough that wouldn’t go away. I was young and wasn’t living a very healthy lifestyle. (I had fun though.) I was sent for testing to a TB Sanitorium just outside Chicago. I didn’t have TB. Eventually, the cough just went away.
    Bonus: For anyone from Illinois, the sanitorium, which might be gone, was near the Leaning Tower of Niles.

      Those poor girls! Tuberculosis really is a horrible way to go. It starts in the lungs gradually weakening the person's ability to breathe properly, and then eventually the other organs start shutting down because as it becomes harder and harder to breathe oxygen can't circulate in the blood. So as the blood cells gradually die off the major organs shut down since they can't get enough oxygen rich blood. This is what causes the "consumption" of the body. The worse it gets the more they waste away until they finally die. Was even blamed at different times throughout history for Vampires

Nowadays thank the Gods there is a test you can take to see if you have it and if you do have it there's medication for it. what's more annoying now is that you can sometimes have it but have it be dormant and not have the symptoms one day and then all of a sudden have it activate.

    My gr-grandfather died of consumption contracted at the World Exposition in Chicago (I think it was) in the 1890s. A lot of people went home with it and caused it to be spread thruout their home areas. My aunt had it in the 1940s and was very concerned that it was having a resurgence in the early 2000s. So many of the women hospitalized with her did not survive it. I had to be tested when I went into a nursing home for a short stay. Very dangerous disease still. We've become blase about it.

    Fascinating as always,the window is very beautiful & the only stained glass window by Tiffany in England. Though dreadfully short,their lifestyle was as near to "jet-set"/"celebrity" as it was possible in those days,the logistics of "coming out" in both NYC & London involving transatlantic travel,in great style. I have a scrapbook from a great aunt born around the same time,who lived a similar lifestyle, to see not just photos, but,menu's dance cards,dress designs etc really brings an extra dimension to stories like yours which are so well researched & illustrated. Thank you for the time & effort,it's much appreciated. Wishing you&yours the very best & a Very Happy New Year.

      My grandfather worked as a orderly at a state hospital on Long Island. Three men came on his ward, they had TB. Normally patients were screened for TB but these three went on Grandpa’s ward. Grandpa came down with a mild case of TB and stayed at home recuperating, up to a year.

    My grandmother's mother passed away at 28yrs old of tuberculosis, when she was 5 and her little sister was only 8months old. She has a picture of her and her baby sis sitting on their mother, on her bed, when she was sick. She passed away about a week after the pic was taken. I was shocked when I found out she was actively sick w tuberculosis when the pic was taken, the babies sitting on her! She said she wasn't sure if they knew it was so contagious through air, which surprises me. This would've been about 1932

    So sad, they seemed to have it all. It always saddens me to see those so young pass before having a chance to live to experience so many of life's blessings. It also breaks my heart for the parents having to bury their children. It doesn't matter if it was more common back then, the pain was just as great to them I am sure.

    Tuberculosis rates have been on the rise for several years in Nunavut in northern Canada, particularly affecting the indigenous population. For decades indigenous children with tuberculosis were torn from their families and communities and sent hundreds of miles south for medical treatment. Many of those children never returned home and their families were told nothing, many died, some were adopted out to white families.
