Measles then and now is a killer
Its been around for thousands of years.
Between roughly 1855 and 2005, measles has been estimated to have killed about 200 million people worldwide.
2018 world wide close to 150,000 died
In the US vaccination did not start until the early sixties
So 10k facilities between NY, NJ and MI.
NYC is very sad ... Probably 420 deaths/million

Pre-vaccine Era:
In the decade before 1963 when a vaccine became available, nearly all children got measles by the time they were 15 years of age. It is estimated 3 to 4 million people in the United States were infected each year. Also each year, among reported cases, an estimated 400 to 500 people died, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 1,000 suffered encephalitis (swelling of the brain) from measles.
Yes, that's 400-500 per YEAR, vs 1,000+ per DAY. In the United States of America. I know you want to be correct, but even the best of us are occasionally mistaken.
