Measles exposure warnings Bay Area CA.

Canada has 2515 cases and counting rapidly, more than twice the confirmed measles cases as the US. Alberta has 654 confirmed, concentrated in the south, and doctors report that the patients they see are reporting that other family members have had it recently and not gone to a doctor, so the actual total is much worse. In many ways, Alberta is Canada’s Texas.
Mexico was over 1500 cases at last report, but up-to-date figures are hard to come by. They are working hard against misinformation
Measles vaccination rates often do not remain high enough, worldwide, and the Covid pandemic disrupted efforts, which have not recovered in any WHO region. Nature.com
In practice, however, vaccination coverage often plateaus or declines after substantial initial gains (Supplementary Fig. 1a), leaving many countries stalled in moderate control regimes4. As a result, resurgence occurs, for example, in 2018–2019, large outbreaks affected several locations including Ukraine, Madagascar and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The COVID-19 pandemic further disrupted control efforts, and as of 2023 no WHO region has regained its pre-pandemic vaccination coverage levels3. Consequently, 36 countries experienced large and disruptive outbreaks in 2022, rising to 57 countries in 2023 (ref. 5).
A working norovirus vaccine may be on the horizon.
H5N1 continues to simmer, no further shoes have dropped as far as the virus. Cambodia reports its fourth fatal case this year. China had a human case that recovered. The US is up to 1072 dairy herds affected, and a few more poultry farms added this week. Workers are not being routinely tested.
So of course, The Tfump admin has cancelled Moderna's contract to develop a vaccine. They really want us to die, don't they? RFKJr wants to Deny Covid vaccines to healthy children and pregnant women, despite pregnancy being a high-risk condition for severe disease. And he wants Moderna and Pfizer to put on their labels that myocarditis is a "common" adverse event which it %$#@ing well isn't. Disinformation!
Yellow fever risk is high in the Americas, including outside the Amazon basin.
