Disney Measles Outbreak Came From Overseas, CDC Says
nbc ^

Posted on 01/29/2015 4:28:58 PM PST by BenLurkin

"We don't know exactly how this outbreak started but we do think it was likely a person infected with measles overseas," Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters.

"We assume that someone got infected with measles overseas, visited Disneyland park, and spread the disease to others."

“At the risk of sounding like somebody sticking up for illegal alien invaders, how many Mexican illegal aliens have $96 for admission to Disneyland? Maybe some rich liberal from West LA brought their nanny? I am scratching my head.”

Here is a question for you, do you know how long the contagious period is before you actually see the rash synonymous withe measles? Who said that patient zero actually visited Walt Disneyland? With a contagion period of up to 5 days before seeing the beginning of a rash, could not the person who went to Walt Disneyland contracted it outside the park and then unknowingly went to Disneyland? Or could the parents of a child maybe thinking the child had a fever but they spent all the money to go to Disneyland that they did not want their child to miss out on all the fun?

Measles have a period in which the rash does not show on the body. During that time a person who has contracted it is contagious. With no idea how the outbreak started it is almost impossible to say that patient 0 ever visited Disneyland. IMO the person who caught the measles from patient n outside of Disneyland then went to Disneyland unsuspecting that they had caught the measles and spreading it to everyone around them while in the park. Thus the origin may not have been at Disneyland at all or that patient n, the one who visited Disneyland, was an illegal. The origin could have very well been an illegal outside of Disneyland.

Disneyland: the happiest place on Earth,
except for the 3rd world disease.

many don’t need the $96. In LA alone there are some 50 ‘social services’ organizations targeting the Hispanic population, including raising money for tickets, not to mention the millions of dollars in tickets that Disneyland gives away to do-gooder groups all over the country

SEIU members get unpublished rates (think hotel/fast food workers). And then there’s the AFDC payments that come in right away which makes the trip affordable for those resettled locally.

And let’s not forget that most of the illegals had a resident illegal or legal sponsor who had enough cash to put $6-10K in a coyote’s pocket, so no doubt Disneyland wouldn’t be a burden, either.

Similar doesn't cut it with me.

Regardless...so they went to Mexico...infected Mexicans and didn't even have to come into the USA. Any disruption is good in the terrorists handbook.

The CDC "proved" nothing.

They all do. They have more cash in pocket than citizens and here’s how.
They work for cash and have lots of American born kids. Since you can’t track their income those American born kids are eligible for AFDC, food stamps, and Medicaid, and free lunches at school so it costs them NOTHING to support those American born kids.
I have lived and worked in the middle of the invasion all my life so know this to be a fact.

stboz :"First, Ebola, now measles .......how long until smallpox reappears?"

Smallpox ,..it's not far behind, unfortunatley.
" The CDC "proved" nothing ." The CDC used to be more concerned with disease control, rather than politcal expediency and political ideology.
All that changed when the CDC violated scientific medical protocals, and supported Zero's "open Borders" for known active Ebola patients.
This singular action demonstrated that the CDC was no longer apolitical by violating the only known scientific plague control - ... isolation .
The CDC then became known as a medical/political extension of the White House, and is no longer above politics.
The measeles outbreak is just another one of "Zero's Pox on America ".

Oversea? Really?

If it came from overseas, why aren't we hearing about infections from airplane passengers or airport workers?

Instead, we are supposed to believe that it came from overseas but only exposed itself in Anaheim, just a few hundred miles from the Mexican border, without showing up at any overseas ports along the way?
