Regarding the coronavirus, do any of you folks remember being

26. Oh, yes, I remember being restricted.

Mostly it was to my neighborhood. I was something of a sickly kid due to bad tonsils that, for some idiot reason, the doctor refused to remove. So I had strep quite a bit.

While other kids took swimming lessons, I was not allowed to. But I could go and watch the others. There were other places I wasn't allowed to go, even though I never got it.

There was a kid in my neighborhood who had it badly and always needed braces to walk until he died. A cousin had it and permanently lost use of one arm. My father had a mild case as a kid, but recovered fully.

My sister and I got our shots from the pediatrician, though I vaguely recall others getting inoculated at school. My mother eventually made the doctor take out my tonsils and I was much healthier after that.

I was really relieved once I had more freedom, and eventually learned how to swim.
