It is becoming less common as more and more people have already had it, therefore making it die down a little as it is rare for chicken pox to infect the same person twice

Which is proper fewer people now or less people now?

"fewer people now" would be correct. "fewer" denotes something that can be counted (like people). "less" denotes something that cannot be counted (like water or sand). FYI- the signs at WalMart are INCORRECT "20 items or less". It should be "fewer".
