I'm so old I Remember when:

I remember having patients who as kids had Polio but didn’t require the use of an Iron Lung, and lived lives with horrible results from the infection, of course by the time I was a Nurse, Polio was a thing of the past, along with other horrible things like Diphtheria.

As a young child my Grandmother would take me by bus to the local spring fed swimming pond so I could play in the water. She would bring our lunch, towels and a lawn chairs on the bus with us.
One time when we were there the police and people dressed in white lab coats showed up and ordered everyone out of the water. Apparently earlier the water had been tested and the sample was positive for Polio!
