Not everybody can be vaccinated and measles spreads like crazy. If there's one confirmed infection, that person likely already spread the virus for a couple of days before symptoms occur.
Besides, it's a disease that shouldn't be around anymore at all.
This is why it's a big deal.
- sixothree 7y agoDoes anyone know the truth of the statement - infected persons have a 90% change of transmitting measles to another person. ? edit: regardless of all the downvotes, I am glad I asked.

The actual stat is worse. > Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, up to 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected. https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/transmission.html https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/transmission.html
