Measles outbreak WA/OR

It was only a matter of time, WA has a large share of the anti-vaxxers. We have vaccination rates ~90% or lower.

Someone was exposed at an airport I believe, down in Vancouver, WA and the Portland area. There are now 30 cases in that area. There are 9 more suspected cases.

One person exposed there was from King County. And guess what? He went to two high school football games while he was in his contagious window.

Many of those unvaccinated teens are going to be in classes at three area high schools in the next three weeks when if they were infected it will be before their symptoms show.

Locations of potential exposure to measles in King County

Before he was diagnosed with measles, the infected individual was in the following public locations. These times include the period when the person was at the location and two hours after. Measles virus can remain in the air for up to two hours after someone infectious with measles leaves the area. Anyone who was at the following locations during the times listed could have been exposed to measles:

Date Time Location

Jan. 9, 2019 7:00am-6:00pm Lease Crutcher Lewis Boeing 17-88 Construction Site 2400 Perimeter Rd, Auburn WA, 98001

Jan. 10, 2019 7:00am-6:00pm Lease Crutcher Lewis Boeing 17-88 Construction Site 2400 Perimeter Rd, Auburn WA, 98001

Jan. 10, 2019 6:30pm-10:30pm Mt Rainier High School vs Kentlake High School basketball game at Kentlake High School 21401 SE Falcon Way, Kent, WA 98042

Jan. 11, 2019 7:00am-2:00pm Lease Crutcher Lewis Boeing 17-88 Construction Site 2400 Perimeter Rd, Auburn WA, 98001

Jan. 12, 2019 6:30pm-10:30pm Kent Lake High School vs. Tahoma High School basketball game at Kentlake High School 21401 SE Falcon Way, Kent, WA 98042

Jan. 14, 2019 9:55am-12:45pm Valley Medical Center, Covington Urgent Care 27500 168th Pl SE, Covington, WA 98042

Jan. 16, 2019 10:00am-12:15pm Multicare Covington Hospital Emergency Dept. 17700 SE 272nd St, Covington, WA 98042

If you were at the locations at the times listed above and are not immune to measles, the most likely time you would become sick is between January 16 and February 6, 2019.
Re that highlighted part, it means that kids in classes could infect their class and the class that follows, probably also the lunch area and halls. And those infected will keep exposing people until possibly all of the unvaccinated kids get infected.

Re the unvaccinated kids, they will be furloughed from school until they are vaccinated but there is no guarantee they'll stay out of public places.

Anyone want to start a poll on how many total cases there are going to be before this is over? Maybe 5% of three high schools?
