Measles outbreak tracker

A deadly West Texas measles outbreak that has so far been linked to two fatalities and hundreds of sick patients could be much more widespread than originally feared, according to health experts.

If that is the case, authorities would need to act quickly and decisively to halt its continuing spread, which could potentially prove fatal in additional largely unvaccinated communities…….

Health experts are wondering if the measles outbreak is a lot larger than it seems

The highly contagious virus has been tied to the deaths of two unvaccinated people and the infections of hundreds in West Texas

But Robert Kennedy said it would be cool if we all got the measles. This is not a South Park episode. I promise.

Well, he was vaccinated against measles. If possible I wonder if the idiot would be willing to give up his vaccine and take his chances? I mean, why not since it would be so great?

I would think of you're down to the maggot option in the medical field you're probably pretty open to anything.

The crazy thing is that outcomes are better with sterile maggots than with traditional treatment methods. Remember how the Native American helped Hugh Glass in The Revenant? 200 years ago there were no alternative treatment methods and Glass would have been dayud

You can pretty much get ready for things like polio to return for no good reason

Probably not worth study, but it would not surprise me to find out it was like a phantom limb syndrome.

The maggots feeding on dead tissue actually can be disruptive to adjacent healthy tissue, thus causing the pain.

As cases of the deadly measles virus continue to circulate around the country, experts warn that infection remains a danger to peoples’ health even years after initial illness.

There are now hundreds of cases confirmed in Texas, New Mexico, and 14 other states. Two people who had not received preventative vaccines have died amid the outbreak, including a child.

While most children recover from measles, the virus impacts the ability of the immune system to respond to infectious organisms that can cause disease in the future - such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites.

"So whenever you get measles, you lose some of your immune memory. And the more severe your case of measles is, the longer it lasts, the more of your immune system is destroyed,” Stephen Elledge, a professor in the genetics department at Harvard Medical School, told NPR on Monday.

The immune system’s memory helps to fight viruses, but measles can destroy the cells that hold that memory. In a recent study, Elledge and his colleagues found that unvaccinated children had lost between 11 percent to 73 percent of their antibodies, that help to identify foreign substances.

Previous research published in the journal Science found that measles disables immune memory for up to three years.

"And when you lose that memory, then you're no longer immune to that particular pathogen," he said. "So the next time you get it, you've got to fight that battle all over again."………

Experts warn measles infections can linger for years as outbreak continues to spread
