[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some terrible parents involved in this mess. One set took an unvaccinated baby to travel internationally. The baby then spread the virus in the hospital to other children. The parents of at least one of those children knowingly dropped them off at the day care to infect other kids. Too bad the hospital didn't notify the daycare for the parents who didn't want to take care of their sick kid.

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

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[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

Right and they called it a child, not a baby. [b]A child that was not vaccinated but should have been. [/b]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.[/quote]

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

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.[/quote]
