Nashville doctors are growing increasingly concerned as pertussis, or whooping cough, surges nationwide, with recent infant deaths in Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana.

... An unvaccinated, out-of-state traveler who tested positive for measles ...

I don't see either of the words "tested" or "positive" in the cited article.

@#7 ... I don't see either of the words "tested" or "positive" in the cited article. ...

The reason why I noted that is that if those words did actually describe the person in question, well that changes things. Significantly.

imo, this scenario would go from some who had measles and did not know they may be infecting others, toward someone who knew they had measles and then, with that knowledge, apparently went on to infect others.

Another Talibaptist who doesn't care about anyone but himself. He had to know he he was sick, if not that he had the measles.

Reminds me of when, during the the COVID pandemic, my masked wife overheard an unmasked woman in an aisle at the supermarket tell someone on the other end of her cell phone, "ya, I just tested positive for COVID but they don't know which kind yet."

A knowingly infected person who didn't give a rat's azz about anyone else, and couldn't have cared less who she passed it onto.

So typical of the Trump-supporting, anti-Christ evangelical fundies like the dude with the measles.
