"MEASLES CASES JUMP TO 884 IN THE U.S. — THANKS, FALLING VACCINATION RATES

Texas leads with 646 cases, and at least six states — including Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio — have full-blown outbreaks.

Measles isn’t just a “kid’s rash” — it can cause blindness, brain swelling, pneumonia, and yes, death.

Two unvaccinated kids in Texas already died.

Experts say the real number is probably even higher — because measles spreads fast."

It’s one of the fastest spreading diseases. They have an outbreak South of me.

I asked the robot a question I already knew the answer to.  What was the era of greatest peace and prosperity in American history. As I expected, the robot said 1945-1960.

We should then examine the culture, demographics, political policies and social norms of that period and seek to replicate or mimic them. Clearly we operated at a higher level back then, both materially and morally.

Hospital room last night...

I never had measles. I probably got vaccinated as a child though.

I was watching Perry Mason, a couple other shows. I'm led to believe that in the 1950's, guys were always wearing suits and ties - even around the house and the women all wore dresses. Plus they were openly drinking and smoking at all times. It seems idyllic.
