"Hooker doesn't appear to have sought healthcare or testing to confirm his symptoms were measles and not another infection. Other viral and bacterial infections may cause rashes, which is why medical providers need to conduct tests to confirm measles cases"

There's no way to confirm this guy actually had measles.

" There's no way to confirm this guy actually had measles."

Riiiiiiight. In the same way a guy spends a month in Thailand, but "there no way to confirm this guy actually had Asian food".

Regardless of the fact he went into a measles hotbed, and came out with measles symptoms ... he didn't tell authorities anything. Aren't public safety officials taught to assume the worst?
