#2 Mortality from scarlet fever among children under 2 years was 55% in 1840. Even as late as 1915, mortality from scarlet fever among children under 5 years was around 30%.

(Some experts believe that the scarlet fever of this period was a different disease, with a different etiology, than the illness we call scarlet fever today.)

#4 Scarlet Fever is strep. In the 1800's and first half of the 1900's there were no antibiotics. The first sulfa drugs were not available until the 1930's. So it probably wasn't a different disease, it just went untreated in an effective way.

The Muppet guy died of basically scarlet fever. It is basically strep throat gone systemic.

#5 Another Commie "Going Back to the Future", back to the 21st Century future that is the early 1900's. Sad thing is even wid proper anti-biotics, for many ordinary Norkies their body's natural immune systems may already be detrimented due to pervasive hunger. STRATEGYPAGE > unless something changes, mainstream = ordinary North Koreans are looking at PERMANENT HUNGER/
STARVATION + NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. * Can be ascribed as NK being destroyed by South Korea, USA, Japan, andor even by Radical islam IS A GOOD THING = EVENT TO CELEBRATE. CLINTONISM > they demand Demand DEMAND D-E-M-A-N-D, D *** YOU, THEIR RIGHT TO BE DESTROYED.

#6 I had this as a kid. It sucks. With a dedicated intelligence effort America has the power to remove the entire Nork leadership in a single B-1 load of SDBs, how can failing to do so be a good thing?
