Measles case confirmed in Central Virginia, local spread suspected
A school-aged child in Virginia's Central Region has a confirmed case of measles from a local exposure.
The Virginia Department of Health suspects community transmission in the Buckingham County area and believes more cases are likely.
Due to the potential outbreak, VDH has issued updated vaccine recommendations for infants, children, and adults in the affected area.
The Virginia Department of Health has reported a confirmed case of measles in a school age child (5-12 years) in the Central Region, according to a press release from the VDH Central Virginia Region on May 8. The patient did not travel and was exposed to measles locally. To protect the family’s privacy, VDH will not provide any additional information about the patient.
Based on this information, VDH said it has reason to suspect that measles virus is circulating in the Buckingham County area, and that there are likely more cases than have been reported. VDH is advising people in the area to make sure they are up to date on their MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine, watch for symptoms of measles, and if they feel sick to stay home and contact their healthcare provider.
You missed the other news articles about the DC cases, which is probably what the OP was referring to.

Confirmed cases of measles in DC and Virginia as country faces significant resurgence
Two cases of measles have been confirmed in the DC-area: Officials with the District’s Department of Health announced a confirmed case of measles in the city on Thursday, and the Virginia Department of Health was notified of a confirmed case of measles that traveled through the Dulles International Airport on April 23 and April 24.
In a release, VDH said the person traveled internationally and is an out of state resident.
Measles is now all over the USA. Brought to you by our MAGA/MAHA neighbors.
https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html
As of May 7, 2026, the U.S. has reported 1,842 confirmed measles cases across 39 jurisdictions, indicating a significant surge that threatens to surpass 2025's total. With over 90% of cases linked to outbreaks and linked to unvaccinated individuals, officials warn of increased risk during summer travel.
all those people traveling internationally... are MAGA? That doesn't compute.
The two PP's (or 1 sock puppet) wants to blame everything wrong in their life on MAGA but that's not the case.
I'm sure it's all MAGAs fault for traveling to places with measles outbreaks like Yemen and Pakistan and bringing it back to the US. Sounds very likely.
If the MAGAs would vaccinate, this wouldn't be an issue if one random traveled from an infected area overseas.
Our only option right now is to mask in public places.
Your "one random" isn't vaccinated themselves. But all the heat is on the people who didn't travel and bring the virus in? Please.
There are always going to be one offs. You can't stop that from happening. But you can stop the spread.
The only reason why viruses get any traction is because of the dumb ass MAGAs/MAHAs.
You wish.
Huh? Regardless of the demographics of Patient Zero, viral spread (and subsequent mutations) happens when there is a sufficient vulnerable population - e.g., unvaccinated people. In a perfect world, the vulnerable population would "just" be infants and the immunocompromised, but now you've got millions of unvaccinated school-age children in that camp who can catch and further spread it, plus adults who refuse boosters when it would be medically advised. Those unvaccinated children and vaccine-refusing adults are overwhelmingly MAGA/MAHA. Facts don't care about your feelings.
So ignore patient zero and all of their close contacts? That's a really effective strategy.
The point is we don't live in a bubble. There will always be some exposure. The only reason why it spreads is because of dumb ass MAGAs/MAHAs.

That one "random" may be a rich Maga who likes to travel to suspect places (see hantavirus).
If US citizens can't maintain herd immunity through vaccination for measles, because they are stupid, it is what it is.
I have health issues and pretty much have to mask in public now to protect myself from all the stupids wandering around in public with COVID, measles, hantavirus and whatever else wealthy selfish US travelers and random internationals have picked up.

Measles case confirmed in Central Virginia, local spread suspected
A school-aged child in Virginia's Central Region has a confirmed case of measles from a local exposure.
The Virginia Department of Health suspects community transmission in the Buckingham County area and believes more cases are likely.
Due to the potential outbreak, VDH has issued updated vaccine recommendations for infants, children, and adults in the affected area.
The Virginia Department of Health has reported a confirmed case of measles in a school age child (5-12 years) in the Central Region, according to a press release from the VDH Central Virginia Region on May 8. The patient did not travel and was exposed to measles locally. To protect the family’s privacy, VDH will not provide any additional information about the patient.
Based on this information, VDH said it has reason to suspect that measles virus is circulating in the Buckingham County area, and that there are likely more cases than have been reported. VDH is advising people in the area to make sure they are up to date on their MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine, watch for symptoms of measles, and if they feel sick to stay home and contact their healthcare provider.
You missed the other news articles about the DC cases, which is probably what the OP was referring to.

Confirmed cases of measles in DC and Virginia as country faces significant resurgence
Two cases of measles have been confirmed in the DC-area: Officials with the District’s Department of Health announced a confirmed case of measles in the city on Thursday, and the Virginia Department of Health was notified of a confirmed case of measles that traveled through the Dulles International Airport on April 23 and April 24.
In a release, VDH said the person traveled internationally and is an out of state resident.
Measles is now all over the USA. Brought to you by our MAGA/MAHA neighbors.
https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html
As of May 7, 2026, the U.S. has reported 1,842 confirmed measles cases across 39 jurisdictions, indicating a significant surge that threatens to surpass 2025's total. With over 90% of cases linked to outbreaks and linked to unvaccinated individuals, officials warn of increased risk during summer travel.
all those people traveling internationally... are MAGA? That doesn't compute.
The two PP's (or 1 sock puppet) wants to blame everything wrong in their life on MAGA but that's not the case.
I'm sure it's all MAGAs fault for traveling to places with measles outbreaks like Yemen and Pakistan and bringing it back to the US. Sounds very likely.

I don't have data of who travels internationally by political affiliation, but did you miss the part that 90% of caess are linked to unvaxxed individuals? There are studies that show that Republicans have a much higher level of vaccine skepticism generally.

Who voted for anti-vaccine nut jobs? MAGA.
Are you talking about unvaxxed adults or kids? Because the unvaxxed adults are on a decades long spree this isn't some political awakening. If they missed their childhood vaccines in the 80s or 90s whose fault is that?

We should be so lucky. Unfortunately, they are breeding at a higher rate than their stupid anti-women/children policies kill themselves off.

I’m pregnant and learned recently I am NOT immune to rubella. I’m sure I was vaccinated as a child so not sure what the deal is, but this is really stressful. Can’t stand these moronic anti-vaxxers.
