Update: Deadly polio has been reported in Venezuela for the first time in nearly 30 years, authorities reveal (Daily Mail)

WNU Editor: I know someone who contracted polio when she was a child 50 years ago .... it is an unbelievably nasty disease that should have been eradicated by now. But it is not, and this decision by the health authorities in President Nicolas Maduro's government to take more than a month to notify PAHO (Pan-American Health Organization) that it had identified the virus is inexcusable.
