They were not in the airport. Train from Philly to BWI Amtrak station, shuttle to terminal and shuttle from terminal to long term parking. No mention of travel from another country.

Many of these cases are home grown anti-vaxxers. They’re so used to coasting on herd immunity here at home that they get cocky, take their unprotected kids overseas for vacations to places where measles is endemic, and cry boo hoo when the inevitable happens. But not before coming home and spreading it to all of their crunchy idiot friends and every baby or cancer patient unlucky enough to be near a pediatricians office or peds ER when they roll in begging for help.

There was recent international travel, but not to/from MD. And it was a home grown case of antivaxxer lunacy and horrible parenting, not a dirty migrant for all the racists in here.

From CBS News:
The infected person was a pre-school-aged child from Virginia who recently traveled internationally, Virginia Health officials confirmed.

To further add, based on where the parent of this poor child sought treatment (Augusta Center - Ft Belvoir), it seems likely it was a US military child. Been seeing a lot of these idiot grunt wives coming from MAGA Podunk USA getting sucked into the influencer woo, so that tracks.

Poor child. What a horrible set of parents they have.
