I was really hoping that area of the texas NM border was isolated enough that it would stay contained :/

Because these kinds of people are developmentally incapable of thinking about their actions beyond how it immediately impacts themselves

If I understand correctly, measles can be very contagious 4 days before rashes appear (through respiratory droplets from coughing). I think a person could mistakenly think they just have a cold or flu (or Covid) before rashes appear. It can also have a ~12 day incubation period without symptoms (but I don't think it's very contagious before symptoms appear).

This makes me want to get my titer drawn for sure.
