Measles is a ‘heat-seeking missile,’ experts warn as Florida’s outbreak grows
Florida’s measles outbreak is the largest in the U.S. right now. The decision of the state’s surgeon general to let parents decide whether to quarantine their children or let them keep going to school could allow it to keep spreading, experts warn.
“Measles is the most infectious pathogen in humans that we know of,” said Dr. David Kimberlin. “It’s like a heat-seeking missile. It will find the people who are not immune, and they’re going to get sick.”
Do something positive.
