Six new cases of wild polio virus detected across country bringing 2019 tally to 134

[DAWN] Six new polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain...
virus cases have emerged from different parts of Pakistain, increasing the overall tally for 2019 to 134.

According to statistics shared by the Regional Reference Laboratory (RRL) for polio eradication, two cases have emerged from Dera Ghazi Khan and one each from Lakki Marwat, Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
, Jamshoro and Kambar.

The two cases found in Dera Ghazi Khan include female infants ‐ aged six months and 12 months. In Dera Ismail Khan, the virus was detected in a two-year-old boy; in Lakki Marwat, a nine-month-old female tested positive. In Kambar, a three-year-old boy, while in Jamshoro a 12-year-old boy was infected.

These cases fall in last year's tally based on the date of detection of the virus in the children.

Pakistain is one of only three countries where the crippling virus is endemic. The other two countries are Nigeria and Afghanistan.
