I actually had the measles when I was 7. All my sisters, my brother and classmates had it. No one died or even went into the hospital. We stayed home for a week and watched TV.

Yes, but we are "old" and had immune systems back then. We played and worked outside all day and no one gave us a participation trophy. We also had mumps and chicken pox and we got our asses kicked when we acted up. Judging by the thought processes of today it is a miracle any of us survived to tell about it.
