Yeah, I tend to agree. Although, way back in the day viruses were more dangerous than most are now. I'm thinking of the days before such illness as Rubella (especially dangerous to a developing fetus) were not uncommon - before there were vaccinations. My sisters, who are many years older than I am, had a friend who was born deaf because her mom had had Rubella during the pregnancy. That was in the mid-'40's.
