Here ya go:
"During 2019, a total of 8,920 new cases were provisionally reported in the United States, representing a 1.1% decrease from 2018. * TB incidence decreased to 2.7 cases per 100,000 persons, a 1.6% decrease from 2018. Non–U.S.-born persons had a TB rate 15.5 times greater than the rate among U.S.-born persons.Mar 20, 2020"

CDC Works 24/7 › volumes
Tuberculosis — United States, 2019 | MMWR - CDC

That's slightly under 9,000 cases, not 9,000 deaths. The actual death toll is, on average, something like 500 a year.

. . . Take it up with them

Yeah, I did. You should probably get in the habit of doing that yourself if you're going to be quoting them.

I'll get over my mistake. But, probably no one here will, lol.
