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 --- 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.

Well Noah did bring aboard two of every kind of life. I guess Gawd didn't bother to tell him viruses are not really alive and he could have left them behind.

How do I know that the religious type people that visit Arc Encounter would feel Disney is too woke?

You don't even need to ask, they will just tell you unprompted.

Anti - Christ and anti -Science.

They actually have exhibits there that depict men walking with dinosaurs. That is until Gawd killed all the dinosaurs and made their bones appear to be 165-180 million years old. Just to mess with the humans.

That Gawd is such a Trickster!

And don't forget that the Lord allowed a pair of Measles viruses onboard.
