Oh yeah all these scary things. We had outbreak of diphtheria in the mid 1990s. 1994 I think? Dang it was scary. We had to do some kind of booster vaccine, not sure what it was. I remember vaccine got me really sick. My grandpa’s brother died of diphtheria right before WW2 contracting it from a patient, he was a doctor. Who’d think we’d have it come around at the end of 20th century! Yes I remember we had some cases of scarlet fever too. And we all had mumps, we had no vaccine for it. I remember when I had it. It’s not deadly but still dangerous. Amazing how medicine is evolving.

So I guess it’s a positive that nowadays we have ways to make diseases manageable and many of them preventable. Guess it could be worse. Hang in there everybody. Hopefully better times are ahead of us
