• RESEARCH PROPOSAL: WHAT ACTUALLY IS A DEATH FEST WHEN REGARDING TO POLIO?  IS AN OUTBREAK OF POLIO AS LARGE AS THE OUTBREAK OF SOMETHING LIKE THE SWINE FLU, OR IS IT MUCH SMALLER WHICH IS WHY WE DO NOT HEAR ABOUT IT?

Polio is not something that is commonly thought about in the United States.  We are used to minor illnesses like the flu or strep throat, and when there is an outbreak these are very treatable to us with vaccinations and antibiotics.  Unfortunately, in other countries such as India and Syria there are not always vaccinations provided for children, so serious diseases such as Polio are active.  Polio affects mostly younger children and has killed many under the age of five. The main reason that children are affected so greatly is because they spread their germs most easily.  Consider when these kids go to take a bath in the river, which could be filled with fecal matter because of the unsanitary living conditions, this is an example of easy exposure to illness.  Consequently, immune systems of these children are much weaker than those of adults, so they are affected much more.  This deadly illness causes these young children to become very sick, and can cause paralysis and death.  As long as there are hazardous living conditions where these children live, they will continue to contract Polio.
