I was given a Science worksheet for homework yesterday and it was all about Diptheria. I was pretty disappointed that the outbreak in Nome wasn't mentioned but then again, it was all about the UK.
Anyway, it seems that between 1900 and 1930 the death rate of children in the UK actually went up. This would have been around the same time that the children of Nome got sick too. Weird, eh?
Well that is very wierd. Interesting fact!
