Measles is so contagious there's been a documented case of transmission after going into an elevator and using it 1 hour after a child with measles rode it. It lingers in the air for a couple hours. This is the sort of thing when you get triaged at a hospital its through a window with you standing outside.

Exactly, and if you ever see public notifications of measles cases, they give a huge window of time for locations. Not because they are unsure of the time, but because it’s still a threat in the hours after a person has already left.

Right before Covid started, there was a large outbreak of measles cases in the American Samoa. Vaccination rates increased there big time. It’s sad that it took people (babies) dying to get them to fucking open their eyes.
