UPDATE (Monday Morning):
I contacted Minnesota's Measles Tracing specialist. She is a very smart and very amiable older lady (she remembers having had the Measles herself as a child). She said she was very happy that I called. ICE had not informed her about the Dilley outbreak as of Monday AM, but she was going to follow up on my tracing information. I was glad she shared my concern for the situation.
ORIGINAL POST:
Oh, no!
CNN video of the visits by two Congresspeople to the facility showed the Congressmen sharing info from the #Dilley child psychologists that "many" of the children at the facility were "sleeping a lot." The facility psycholgist attributed it to depression.
But video of the five-year-old #LiamRamos -- taken while he was still being held at the facility-- showed a child who was not merely sleeping, but was nearly unconscious. He was non-responsive, either due to being drugged or feverish.
FYI: A common symptom of #Measles -- a symptom which happens prior to any skin rash-- is usually days of fever, excessive sleep, and general lethargy. (I'm old enough to remember the Measles.)
Today, that tired-eyed five-year-old was on a plane and taken back to #Minnesota .
I'm very glad he's gone home, but I would bet good money that entire plane was exposed to Measles. And I don't think anyone else has considered that.
I also don't think anyone else has considered that Measles causes awful birth defects in unborn babies who are exposed to it (most commonly deafness), and little Liam's mother is four months pregnant, according to the news. 🙏🙏
