56. Every disease will be with us for ever...killing 2.5 Million Americans every year

Mon Jun 22, 2020, 09:46 AM

Jun 2020

I grew up in virus infested India. I was deathly ill with small pox in 1948 as a young child. And influenza every year.
My brother had polio and deformed his legs permanently.
Influenza kills millions world wide every year. So yeah, we have to live with the diseases.
We will never ever be disease free.
