My retired mother in-law, like many at the time, was sent to live with rural family when Polio was running rampant in 1953.I assume you’re retired? Let the younger generations enjoy their lives as you did. You have plenty of ways to protect yourself from Omicron.
During polio outbreaks, schools, playgrounds and movie theatres were closed in pockets of the country. Public health officials in some communities gave daily briefings on new cases and recoveries, according to social historian Leah Morton, and families of the infected were quarantined.
Nurses were recruited out of retirement to help with large numbers of patients, while health officials and governments scrambled for much-needed equipment.
Is that the kind of enjoyment of life you’re talking about?
