How deadly is polio?

Polio can be lethal, yes, if untreated and there is no medical support. It was primarily active prior to the 1960s. Although it is rare in the U.S. now, children sometimes still get it; it is considered a childhood disease, although disability may be permanent throughout life. If the virus (polio) penetrates your nervous system, and it affects your nerves that control breathing, then the person may die. Many people have survived polio and lived through adulthood, but with impairments. Polio especially affects the lungs and legs. US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was afflicted with childhood polio, and was confined to a wheelchair during his presidency.
