  • When was the last time you saw someone with Polio? Or someone die of sepsis?

    Update: My point about sepsis isn’t that it is gone, But that we’ve gone from hearing about it still being a thing from knowing someone who it was a thing for. As far as polio is concerned I’m 39 years old currently. While polio wasn’t around while I was a child my aunt’s uncle’s parents knew someone who had polio while they were growing up. Friends of the family who were adults knew someone who had polio while they were growing up. That’s mostly what I mean, We went from knowing someone first or second hand who suffered from all kinds of ailments to only hearing about it because there’s a small amount of it.
