Being plagued with chicken pox is a difficult part of being a child. So are measles and mumps and whooping cough and impetigo. But children manage to survive all that and grow up to be sick from other stuff. You have to wonder why just kids get all those things and adults hardly ever do. And why kids rarely get gout or hardening of the arteries or gall stones or osteoporosis. There must be some rules that diseases know to play by. Where do they keep those rules? ---

Do we have fake news parading as nonsense here, or nonsense parading as fake news? And what streets will be closed off? Parking will likely cost as much as a few brazillian ducats, or more! But there’s probably no sense in worrying about it. What say you? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/non-sequiturs/193081.md?page=8)
