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