I’m 47. My dad’s mom, who I knew well, was born in 1910. Her father was born in 1857, before the Civil War. I always thought the span on that side was fascinating.
Bacterial does, viral does not appear to. I am a survivor of bacterial meningitis and sepsis at eight months and fortunately do not experience any known side effects. However, the IQ effect is sobering.

One thing good did come of it...I never once cursed at 5 1/4 floppies as they were a godsend compared to the cassette drive days
...and while your at it, get THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!
Same here, though with a TI-99/4A. I never had a drive on that thing, so it was always on tape, complete with handwritten odometer counts on the insert card for reference.
