But it’s one of, and possibly THE, most contagious diseases on the face of the earth.
Then it performs a factory reset on your immune system. If you contract measles, you’re no longer immune to anything else. You’re effectively immunocompromised until you can build up resistances again. Outbreaks of measles will quickly be followed by outbreaks of other things, all at elevated risk.
It’s not a rolling boulder, it’s the start of an avalanche.

Those African medical personnel are used to working far worse conditions that Covid.
In fact if they had stayed working they would have been able to help those with Covid and those who are at risk.

I’m pretty sure I had at least one form of measles and pox, my many siblings all did too, and so did many of my friends. We got sick, we got better, and got on with life. It’s a good thing we didn’t have Smarter than Us Officials to scare the bejeezus out of our parents by convincing them that our very lives hung on a thread, when a large majority of the time, we were just kids surviving the gauntlet that nature puts forth. Adapt and survive, fail to adapt and perish.

One hundred percent agreed. It makes me wonder why savvy folks nonetheless are distracted by official studies on the efficacy of masks and social distancing. It is a lot like agreeing that there’s no such thing as the bogey man, and then discussing the legitimacy of studies on how to avoid the bogey man.

Exasperating.

I had the measles when I was a kid, and so did most of my friends. Not a single one of them died.

Rabbits and sheep.

Sorry to say this, but this kind of thing is now so predictable and now so inevitable that I am growing morbidly depressed reading about it anymore, knowing or suspecting that nothing will be done to stop all this. Nothing at all.

I may have to avoid the news for a while. I love coming here every day. I love it. But lately the news has just been too much. Cya all later.
