Measles is highly contagious, and immunization rates in some counties are below the 95% recommended for herd immunity.
New cases of measles are popping up across Florida, with 15 illnesses confirmed statewide, according to data from the Florida Department of Health.
But other cases, including 20 in Collier County and one in Pinellas County, don’t show up on the department’s website. It updates every Thursday, and by then the information is many days old. As of Monday, the case count ends Jan. 31.
“Weekly updates may be fine when you’re not in an active outbreak,” said Candace DiMatteis, vice president of policy and advocacy at the Partnership to Fight Infectious Diseases in Washington, D.C.
Time to refuse US tourists
When they said they were going to get things back to the old times, they meant it literally. Can’t wait for polio!
they want children to have poliomyleitis, and rubella, diptheria pertussis, and adult chickenpox.
holy shit, you mean all this time, the scientists were right and vaxxing works?? NO WAY!
I have a feeling that it’s getting bad quickly in the south and that’s why even Dr oz is pleading with people to get vaccinated.
Measles is one of the most contagious diseases we’ve ever encountered. In a naive population, every single person with measles will infect 14 more people. For reference, covid has an r0 of between 2 and 4.
Against RFK Jr’s wishes, oz wont last long.
Can’t go into much detail, but I knew of a confirmed case 3 weeks before the news did. Underreporting is an understatement
Great, I finally got tickets for my family to go to Disney and now this…
Think of the Disney trip as a nostalgia trip: you get everything from the past, cartoons, princesses… and measles! All in one package!
You don’t even have to pay extra for this package!
plust gifts of covid, flu, maybe rsv and HFMD. and norovirus.
I went to Disney and all I got was this stupid shirt… And measles.
We’re going to relitigate the last hundred years.
You know, to be sure.
