Honestly Jim, I don't see how.

What date do you have showing on YOUR calendar?

Do you *honestly* think we were better prepared medically and scientifically in 1950 to track down, to isolate this contagion?

You've got some 'splainin to do!

I'll grant you that! But in the 50's there were no biological weapons programs by foreign countries, nor the threat of such.

And besides, Jim, there wasn't as much travel between countries and continents as there is today.

I'd love to have lived as an adult in the '50s BTW.
