Send a bunch of those polio cases over here, so we can quickly establish herd immunity in the US. Please a bunch of those foreigners at the security checkpoints of the in largest US airports, and soon enough the problem will be solved...

That's some way back knowledge for an account created last year. Not hatin' just saying.

Which means there are thousands of actual infections as only ~1% of poliovirus infections result in polio syndrome.

Can't wait for the US to fall off the list of places where it's been eradicated...

No reason to hate. When I came back, I explained I had a new name. Used to be Domingo B. Came here in Dethspud's waning days.

Pakistan has enough problems already. They keep hoping somehow, magically, China will bail them out.
