LISTING OF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH PRESS RELEASES

"...In the United States, as of February 12, a total of 910 measles cases have been reported this year, which is the highest number of measles cases in January since the United States achieved elimination status in 2000. Most of these cases are linked to an ongoing measles outbreak in South Carolina and one outbreak involving Arizona/Utah. The majority of cases are unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status. ..."
@ai6yr is it recorded why that is their status?
@Photo55 Not in that news release, but anecdotally, it appears this is spreading through a lot of religious antivax communities.
@ai6yr interesting what isn't news, isn't it.
There are some secular cults that spread it as well.
@Photo55 I don't think anyone wants to be accused of attacking specific religions. It's a number of them, unfortunately, plus antivaxxers in general.
@ai6yr rad. im stuck on the runway in a flight that was diverted from san
@Viss LOL everyone going to KSAN diverted. I see one to PHX, another to Ontario... another to Palm Springs... Are they going to take off again or are you stuck rebooking?
@ai6yr they wont let us off the plane. im pissed i didnt bring an sdr so i could eavesdrop on the tower. they made mention of refueling and going back to san

@Viss Oooh, cell moved off, looks like you'll be home soon at least!
@ai6yr man i hope so!

@Viss @ai6yr

safe travels and hope you're home quickly.

@ai6yr Oh man, I used to LOVE El Atacor #3 when I lived out that way.
@yetanotherjesse Oooh, will have to try it... hopefully on a non-Measles day 🤪
@ai6yr yeah, it's good, maybe not measles exposure good though (or it was 20 years ago, it looks like it hasn't changed at all in google maps pics)
@ai6yr His dinner diet is also a public health concern.
@ai6yr Not to criticize a seriously ill person, but coming from Singapore they spent the next few days eating at a Burger King and a Domino's. What a fall from flavorful SE Asian cuisine to that.
@ai6yr When will this lunacy of #anti-vaxers end?
@ai6yr
This Patient Zero should be quarantined for their shitty diet.
