> People have no living memory of polio. My grandmother tells the story of the big US polio outbreak when she was a child. Her parents were scared to death, so put her on a train in Indianapolis out to Iowa to live on her grandparent’s farm . She talked about multiple towns that the train stopped in and let people disembark, but refused to allow boarding, and looking out the windows at the signs and evidence of widespread fear. It’s not something you would forget, and she is definitely still alive ;)
