Peoples thoughts on a cure will vary, but I stated in the first post.
(I'm talking cure as in it's gone from the whole world and will never come back as that is a cure to me)
So that's how I define it.
MmM so that's a no then... but you can get cured from mumps but others will still get it ? Am I wrong?
Do you actually get cured of Mumps or does it just go away, a bit like a cold they go but we get another.
Like I say Peoples thoughts will vary on what a cure is.

#1 Relieve (a person or animal) of the symptoms of a disease or condition: he was cured of the disease.
#2 Eliminate (a disease or condition) with medical treatment: this technology could be used to cure diabetes.
#3 Solve (a problem): a bid to trace and cure the gearbox problems.
#4 Preserve (meat, fish, tobacco, or an animal skin) by salting, drying, or smoking: (as adjective, in combination -cured) home-cured ham.
#5 Harden (rubber, plastic, concrete, etc.) after manufacture by a chemical process such as vulcanization: the early synthetic rubbers were much more difficult to cure than natural rubber.
For me a cure is "that's it it's gone finished", to some a cure is "it's gone but it can come back again".
