I cannot remember that plague. Pneumonia was a rough call my Dad had it three times before any treatment was offered. One village a few miles away had an illness that nearly wiped all of them out. It is surprising how soon it was forgotten.🌺

Good Afternoon
Polio was a terrible disease! I can remember being very young and standing in line for a sugar cube. My Mom was a nurse and insisted we get the medicine.

It was terrible in Australia as well. We hardly went off the property when I was a little girl. I didn't see much of my Grandmother for years and if we did visit, everyone wore a camphor bag around their neck, and held a handkerchief to their nose. No one knew what else to do!
