This is… truly surreal — but these are the times in which we find ourselves. [That I first saw it in People magazine… is also rather disconcerting.]
The CDC’s warning is clear though — and perhaps to be expected in parts of the African continent [where means limitations, not the vanity of personal preference(s)… drive low vaccination rates]. But the UK? Spain? Germany? Yikes — here’s the latest:
…A travel alert has been issued warning Americans to take precautions against polio, which is spreading in Europe and elsewhere across the globe.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control issued a level 2 alert, cautioning travelers to “practice enhanced precautions” before visiting 32 countries….
The full list of countries where polio is spreading includes Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Finland, Gaza, Germany, Ghana, Guinea, Israel, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Poland, Senegal, Somalia, South Sudan, Spain, Sudan, Tanzania, United Kingdom, Yemen, and Zimbabwe….
If you are heading to these countries — do like Elvis did: go get your booster, before you travel. Polio. That’s… insane. Onward.
