Wow...serious impacts...
Several buddies have communicated their employers have okayed "work from
home" suggestions in order to avoid crowds, mass transit, et cetera. The only thing in my memory that sounds a bit like this was when I was a small kid and the polio vaccine hadn't been introduced...no one, and I mean no one, went to the city's various swimming pools. I wonder how long this corona mess is going to impacting us... |
Wow...serious impacts...

He must have finally glanced away from his anti-Trump fake news feed. |

I wonder how long this corona mess is going to impacting us... My mother contacted polio a couple of months after I was born. She was hospitalized and for a while was almost completely paralyzed. She recovered eventually but was afflicted by weak muscles in one leg for the rest of her life. Any amount of over-exercise, walking too much or whatever caused her problems. I have a vague memory of the family doctor being summoned to see me because I became sick with something and developed a stiff neck. In those days family doctors made house calls with their little black medical bags. At the time a stiff neck and inability to touch your chin to your chest was one of the symptoms of polio. I was fine but it scared my parents. Must have been when I was about 3 or 4 years old just before the polio vaccine was approved for use in 1955. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

I have close friends ranging in age from mid 30s to 89 or 90, but a majority are around my age. |

I remember the signs as a kid going to Clear Lake. We had a neighbor in the next block who was in an Iron Lung. I remember visiting, but was probably only 5 or 6. Never knew what happened to her. We were early in he Salk vaccine distribution. I think the first round was injection, and the 2nd was sugar cubes. Mom was an RN, so most likely was kept in the loop early. |
