"There were enough kids who died so that it was noticeable? " Modern medicine has changed a lot. It is pretty rare for people who aren't really old just to get sick and die. There wasn't any really effective antibiotic until penicillin, and it wasn't very commonly available until post-WWII. So I am inclined to believe Taro in this. Pre-1960s was a very different world from what we have now.

Most survived, some didn't. Seriously? There were enough kids who died so that it was noticeable Yes, that was part of life at the time. Before death was contained 100% in "civilized" society. As late as in the 50s and 60s most youths knew (of) some school mate who died from chronic kidney failure. That was before kidney transplants and major dialysis programs.
