This used to be a typical childhood illness for baby boomers although, as an adult, I think it can have very bad health risks, especially for men.

When I was a kid, Mumps was one of the childhood diseases where, if one kid got them, the mothers would gather their kids together and have some Mumps parties to “get it out of the way”....

Didn’t see any info in the article about the number of afflicted, if any, who’ve been previously vaccinated.

Here in Arkansas it has been introduced and spread by the Marshallese in Springdale. They are “casual” about getting their kids vaccinated and tend to live in large groups in houses with a bunch of beds all over. From there I suppose it goes to the kids of Hispanic illegals. So there is quite a bit of it spreading thru the public schools.

Very sad to hear so many college kids are getting it. I pray they can still have children!

Won’t really make a difference to the male part of the student body as it’s impossible to lose you balls when you’ve already been emasculated.

Coming to a sanctuary campus near you!

I don’t think that anyone in my family or anyone that I ever knew had mumps.
