California measles fear: Students and staff at universities are quarantined

LA Times: Trying to stop a measles outbreak from spreading, health officials announced Thursday that more than 200 students and staff members at UCLA and Cal State L.A. who have been exposed to measles are being asked to stay home.

The five people diagnosed with measles so far in L.A. County this year include a UCLA student and a Cal State L.A. student. Concerned about the quick spread of disease on busy college campuses, health officials have ordered that students and staff exposed to measles who cannot show they have been vaccinated be quarantined until further notice.

The announcement comes on the same day California health officials said 38 people had been infected with measles so far this year in the state, an increase of 15 from the previous week. Measles has been spiking nationwide this year, with 695 cases in 22 states reported so far, the most in the U.S. since 2000.

While the largest outbreak in California is in Butte County in the northern part of the state, health officials also declared outbreaks in Los Angeles and in Sacramento County this week.

County health workers reached out to more than 500 people who may have come into contact with the UCLA student in early April. As of Thursday afternoon, 79 of those students and faculty members had not provided medical records showing that they are immune to measles, according to a statement from the university.

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses in the world, spread by coughing and sneezing. Even after a sick person leaves a room, the virus can linger in the air for as long as two hours, able to infect an unsuspecting victim.

“One person with a confirmed measles case can expose thousands of people to measles,” L.A. County public health department director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said at a news conference Thursday.  read more

  1. Wait until the Ebola boys from Africa slip over
    the Democrat unprotected border. Measles that
    the illegals already brought in will be the least
    of our worries.

  2. I dunno Wally… I don’t always trust democRATs, but when I do, I trust them to steal my money, spy on me, lie to me, make the cost of living go up, poop on the streets and sell out my country to diseased invaders!

    Yeah Beave, either that or sell the streets and shit on my country!

  3. FYI

    Liberals secretly laugh in your face whenever Conservatives complain about 3rd worlders bringing in disease that was mostly under control as revenge for Columbus bringing in disease to 3rd worlders.

    Just so you know, American kids dying from disease doesn’t bother them at all.

    TIME TO SECEDE!

  5. …meanwhile, no one talks about how Muslims skip vaccines of all types because they “might” have pig products in them, and between this, their tendency to clump up, and their loose (sometimes forced) sexual habits with their multiple wives, sisters, and random Western woman that A!!ah says it’s OK to rape because, kafir, along with their disguising bathroom habits, it’s a wonder we don’t have half the Country reinfected with everything from rubella to mumps to polio at this point…

  6. How much truth do we know? It isn’t just the contagious, sick immigrants and illegals making Americans sick and physically damaged. It is our own government/CDC/pharma criminals’ fraud vaccines doing this. Why? To weaken and physically and mentally destroy the strength of the nation–the people themselves. What nation really needs strong, capable men for defense, anyway? Masculinity has become labeled “unacceptable” by the liberal/Communists. As a dependent American female, I reject that political lie!

  7. When media and government partner together to enforce policy and mandates which the people do not want, is that an indication that the result wanted is not for “the good” of the people? When there is known factual opposition to what the government states is truth, just whom should be believed? Would officials ever lie to the people?

    Studies Show that Vaccinated Individuals Spread Disease. Should the Recently Vaccinated be Quarantined to Prevent Outbreaks?
    WASHINGTON, D.C. –February 2, 2015– [ GlobeNewsWire ] — Health officials are blaming unvaccinated children for the recent measles outbreak that started at Disneyland.

    “Scientific evidence demonstrates that individuals vaccinated with live virus vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), rotavirus, chicken pox, shingles and influenza can shed the virus for many weeks or months afterwards and infect the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10”
