This year is on track to have the lowest number of polio cases of any year in recorded history. There have been just 19 cases globally so far, compared to 30 at the same point last year. 

Before the global eradication campaign began in 1988, there were around 300,000 - 400,000 cases annually.

Holy shit thats amazing. I knew it was on the decline but I didn't know it was almost gone.

Yep, at this rate it will probably be totally eradicated in the next two years. :)
