My mother had Polio as a child and fortunately came out unscathed. A close friend that used to visit her grandparents in Brooklyn every summer, came down with it at the same time and was not so fortunate. As a result one leg stopped growing and she was left with a pretty severe disability. I hope people remember that while Polio affected people differently, it could be deadly, or disabling and not worth hoping you will be one of the lucky ones
