Right? And why was this person going around while infected. Doesn't measles have pretty visible symptoms? I just read the timeline and I was at the riverwalk the day after and the bucc-ee's they were at 10 hours later. Thankfully I got re-immunized recently (2 years ago) so hopefully that's a lot better than having been vaccinated as a kid.

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.
