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.

It’s not pointless. Both of these things seem to point to them being less likely to obtain medical help sooner rather than later. It can help to direct the government to find out why they aren’t seeking the care they need so they can help get them it.

I would imagine it’s more related to their reason for being admitted to the ICU. Probably something like they don’t seek help from a hospital unless it’s really bad
