Several Disneyland employees in multiple jurisdictions have been diagnosed with measles, Stanfield said. She added: This is not unexpected. Measles has also spread to several other states and even Mexico at this point. When people SO PANICKED over Ebola last year, where ONE person died, Ebola does NOT transmit by air, only by direct fluid contact, and does NOT LIVE long in the outside environment. MEASLES on the other hand is HIGHLY contagious, spreads by air, coughing or sneezing and the virus droplets lives on surfaces for up to two hours. At risk are those too YOUNG to be vaccinated and those in the latest kick to REFUSE vaccinations. At an amusement park or school, consider how MANY people are exposed to an infected surface (or air), especially in lines or crowded areas. Since 2000, the highly contagious disease has been considered ELIMINATED in the United States, aside from occasional small outbreaks sparked by overseas travelers. For most of the last decade, the nation was seeing only about 60 cases a year. But NOW, over 50 people are sick in California alone, with many more in other states, just from this ONE incidence due to unvaccinated children. Here is HOPING that no one will DIE from this, because it IS possible. dailykos/story/2015/01/21/1359188/-Now-workers-at-Disneyland-have-the-measles?detail=email
