Today, the Health Department reports NO new confirmed cases of measles, for a total of 8 confirmed cases of measles (seven Philadelphia cases, one non-Philadelphia case).

Again, if your public health plan is to blame individual parents as “terrible”, that’s not a very good plan. The first set of parents were almost certainly not some affluent couple that decided to vacation in the Alps with their newborn. They were likely refugees or migrants. The parents of the child who was dropped off at daycare likely felt they needed to go to work to keep from losing their jobs or becoming homeless.

It was all well and good when we were maligning maga families but now, so much understanding and for the ignorant. Typical.

It’s not political. I guarantee you these families are neithet MAGA nor UMC liberal international travelers or hippie antivaxers. Based on the addresses anyone with a cursory knowledge of Philly knows that they are poor and/or immigrants. I’m not here to judge anyone except the public health authorities who somehow STILL believe that ordering a 21 day quarantine in total disregard of someone’s economic situation is a feasible way to go about addressing an outbreak.

They should have vaccinated their kids. The daycare should require it. Problem solved.

Did you even read the article? The baby was too young to get the MMR vaccine.

It's not clear the baby was at the daycare. The baby had measles at the hospital. Then the measles spread to other children at the hospital. The article is clear as mud. Could have been those children who went to the daycare

The article said (twice) a family was asked to quarantine but disobeyed and brought their child to daycare. Since parental/sick leave is so crappy, maybe we need to start offering vouchers to parents with sick kids.

Right and they called it a child, not a baby. A child that was not vaccinated but should have been. Why didn't the daycare enforce vaccination? Why did they knowingly let this child back? Now the daycare is closed and even more parents are screwed because of these selfish ignorant parents.

You are so ignorant it’s scary. The baby was not at the age to get the MMR shot yet. Stfu.

Moron. The baby and the child are different people. The child went to the day care unvaccinated, the baby was patient 0 at the hospital. Learn to read. All of the articles are citing decisions to not vaccinate.

I’ve read one article that was linked earlier. Here it is. This article clearly states that the outbreak includes both children who are too young to be vaccinated and those who just aren’t vaccinated. No where does it state that is the fault of one child who didn’t vaccinate. We have no idea which child went back to the daycare. Was it one of the kids who was too young to be vaccinated? This particular article doesn’t say. Please link your article saying the child was over 15 months who went back to the daycare.

The child that went back to the daycare broke quarantine. How old was that child?

Google your own information. You told me to STFU and now are realizing you had no idea what you were talking about. I owe you nothing.

I love how some people on this thread were desperate to blame MAGA Republicans for this outbreak.
