WHO: Polio returns to Papua New Guinea after 18 years - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Five years after world leaders aimed to wipe out polio worldwide, the
disease has turned up in Papa New Guinea for the first time in nearly
two decades, the World Health Organization said. [...]
Polio is a crippling and potentially deadly infectious disease spread
from human contact or contaminated food or water. It can affect the
brain and spinal cord and cause paralysis."
Comment: That is really sad to see. Hopefully they will get it under control quickly.
