As of July 14, 2010 there have been 545 cases of "wild" polio worldwide in 2010. The total number of cases in 2009 was 1604. There are still some countries using the oral polio vaccine that in extremely rare cases can cause polio. I don't know the statistics for those cases.

It depends on what time zone you're in. I might be in "tomorrow" for you already.

Although it does not receive much attention today, the most well-known epidemic of the 1950s was Polio. It affected many people as it swept across America. The polio epidemic reached its peak in the 1950s. The cases of Paralytic Polio went from 33,000 in 1950 to 59,000 in 1952. In 1950, 34,000 people died of tuberculosis, and in 1957, 62,000 people died from influenza.

Between 75 and 50 years ago, polio epidemics occurred frequently with many people dying and many others crippled for life. Many old people today must use walkers, canes, and wheelchairs because of the crippling effects of polio. Then 50 years ago vaccines became available. Polio ended in North America, Europe, and the Soviet Union. Shortly after that it ended in Latin America. In the Western World, the effects of polio are mainly seen in the old. In predominately Muslim countries, vaccination is relatively unknown. Burkas prevent others from seeing women's bodies deformed from polio. Outside of Muslim countries, except for India, polio no longer exists.
A polio vaccine was invented in 1954. Each year after that, the number of polio cases decreased. By 1974, only 5 cases occurred. These were all people who were linked to the polio vaccine.
There are currently more than 1 billion followers. Worldwide many people follow Hinduism
In 2010 there were an estimated 600 billion worldwide that were Christians.
Polio has been largely eradicated, with millions of people saved from paralysis and death due to vaccination efforts. While exact numbers of individuals cured are difficult to determine, the World Health Organization estimates that since the Global Polio Eradication Initiative began in 1988, over 18 million people are walking today who would have been paralyzed by the disease. Vaccination has significantly reduced polio cases, with only a few countries still reporting endemic transmission.
