Disneyland visitor with measles in park on 10/16

FYI if anyone was in the parks or knows people who were that may be immune compromised in any way. I saw several Make a Wish kids in the parks when we were there and this is scary for families that might have been visiting on this day.

Oh, wow. It says that the person also went to a Starbucks before going to the park.

Yep. It's so scary. And so stupidly preventable.

And this is exactly why I side-eye and judge people who insist on bringing babies into the park. If you can pop into Disneyland for the day, you can afford a babysitter for your newborn. You can control your child's environment until they can get vaccinated; you can't control the general population so keep them away from large crowds that could be carrying harmful diseases if you are able to.

This seems a little harsh. Babies don’t get their MMR until 1. I mean yea you can avoid Disney until then but all large crowds? We should be able to depend upon herd immunity.
