And I'm old enough that I had measles. I remember the then protocol - staying in a room with the blinds almost all the way down on the belief that light could damage the eyes. I was 7; it was 1947. The War was over, but not much had recovered.

I’m old enough that I had the “red” measles, the “German”’measles, mumps and chicken pox. May have missed whooping cough and polio which some friends had caught. Only knew one person who had ever had smallpox. My great aunt was made permanently deaf as an 8 year old by the measles.
