Yeah. When I was kid, even after the Polio vaccine, my mom wouldn't let us out to play or go to the pool some muggy summer days because it was 'Polio weather.'

She contracted TB when she was a teenager during the Depression and almost died: it got into her bones and she lost all almost all her teeth. I kept getting tossed out of school when my TB tine tests showed positive because I picked up immunity in utero.

Two generations of vaccines and antibiotics and we've already forgotten how awful infectious diseases were.

Thank goodness we don’t have the same medical understanding and treatments from 90 years ago. And that is why I don’t worry about somethings today that were a death sentence in the middle ages.
