Measles and babies

[cfred]

Yeah, I saw the news yesterday about Hamilton and Burlington. Too close for my liking! What freaks me out the most is that they post all the places that person was in a 3 day period. It's significant.....all very public places and one can assume, with some of them being bars, they're crowded. A couple visits to the hospitals, with a wide cross section of ages and health concerns. When it's all laid out in text like that, you can see how easily (and quickly) it can spread!

I looked at the website, thank you Daisy123. Yep, I think I'll have to err on the side of caution on this one. I can't imagine how awful it would be to unwittingly exposed young babies to measles, just to save others' feelings. I suppose if one wishes to be an antivaxxer, these are issues they'll have to contend with. My cousin couldn't be vaccinated because she's deathly allergic to components of some vaccines. She did get measles and had to spend a good deal of time in a darkened room...very sick young lady!

Thanks for reaffirming what I already kinda knew...just needed to hear it from others too I think His daughter's 12 and has been chomping at the bit to hold the new baby and to come and help me in the daycare. Time for an awkward conversation I think.
