Several cases of tuberculosis—commonly referred to as the ‘Victorian disease’—have been reported at an Amazon warehouse in Coventry, UK, raising concerns among labour unions.
TB earned its nickname due to its widespread prevalence in 19th-century Britain during Queen Victoria’s reign, when overcrowded housing and poor ventilation contributed to its spread.
