Arizona ?

OK .. I MIGHT be tempted to pay a gazillion dollars to see a live football game, but .... NAAAHHHHH ... I'd rather watch it in my underwear at home

[Not A Snowbird]

I hope none of the players get it! Mumps in the NHL, now this?

Textbook case of how an infectious with the aid of modern transportation can spread all over in a short amount of time. More deaths to add to the Jenny McCarthy body count.

Bet it didn’t come from Super Bowl fans.

Because the highly contagious virus can linger in the air for two hours, health officials have asked those who may have been exposed to avoid doctors' offices, emergency rooms or urgent-care centers

But go to the Superbowl, it's okay!..............

"linger in the air" No bean dip for kitty.

Hey! These aren’t just any measles, they’re expensive Disney measles! Made in Mexico.

[donna]

Any reporting on illegal immigrants bringing it from Mexico?

Do Muslims believe in vaccinations?

[grobdriver]

Uh oh.
Go ahead and send your infected kids to America to infect our kids in school - we won't make a fuss about that.

But don't mess with our football!

[grumpygresh]

Time to get your vaccine; aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde monkey viruses is included at no additional expense.

The important thing is to make sure this is the “normal” measles, not some mutated variant for which immunity is uncertain.

Also important is that measles can be deadly for those with AIDS, and since there hasn’t been a major upswing in fatal adult measles, it likely has normal communicability.

The infection occurs in sequential stages over a period of two to three weeks. Measles signs and symptoms typically appear 10 to 14 days (can be from 7 to 18 days) after exposure to the virus. Two to four days after symptoms appear is when the rash first appears.

A person with measles can spread the virus to others for about eight days, starting four days before the rash appears and ending when the rash has been present for four days.
