More breaking news: Kentucky has passed 100 cases of measles just days after stating they were not concerned because they were below 100 cases of measles. Also, it would appear they added another county to the list.

“When I was in kindergarten in 1961, I survived a near-fatal case of measles… my clearest memory of that period is my father carrying me to our station wagon & rushing me to the hospital.

it may not look like much of a difference, but it is: measles has an R₀ of 12 to 18 (number of people an infected person infects w/o vaccination) herd immunity [when the outbreak stops] follows the formula 1 - (1/R₀) 1-(1/12)=0.917 (91.7% vax) 1-(1/18)=0.944 (94.4%)
