#5 Does polio only strike kids or d0 adults also come down with it? I'm too young to have had any memory of Polio in the US (love to be able to say that). My mom remembers though, and said it was usually summertime when it would show up. Anybody have anecdotal thoughts on what this was like?

#6 Mostly kids, it was commonly called infantile paralysis.

#7 Oh look, we don't have to worry anymore. God is taking care of Pakistan for us.

Insensitive, I know, but really can't find a ounce of sympathy in me. I'm more imagining all those whining Jihadist complaining about using their prized Mules for labor because all the good Madrassa kids have polio.
