When I was a young ‘un, I had both types of measles (and chicken pox). The rubella wasn’t so bad, but the rubeola–oh, never mind.
Plus, one of the memories etched in my brain from when I was about three–when you don’t really have memories, they’re more like snapshots–is of my parents in bed with the mumps, an illness much more serious in adults than in children. It was the sickest I ever saw them.
I would not will those days to come back, but I seem to have become an unwilling member of a society of stupid in which facts and science and knowledge no longer matter.
We are a failing state.
