Thank you Susie! I recall getting my polio vaccine on a sugar cube. What’s interesting is that polio was eradicated in Canada and USA in 1979. I wonder if we will still be struggling with Covid in 20 years?

I really appreciate the way you tell detailed personal stories that resonate to a wide circle of people and ripple with meaning. I remember the fear of polio in the '50s in New York and the lining up in the schoolyard for the shots. As a child, I didn't carry the fear the way the adults did, but now with covid, I can see that that aspect of the contagion has far-reaching impact.
