2. Stay home and isolate if you have an unvaccinated baby under 1 yr, including family.
3. Masks when getting supplies.
4 Curse the antivax and conservatives.
5. Avoid Alberta.

FFS get your children vaccinated against #measles.
I was born before measles jabs were introduced. I caught measles as a child and passed it on to my infant brother, who has suffered from vision problems all his life as a result.
He was lucky; measles could have killed him instead.

Ben Edwards, the antivax physician in Texas, was still working while having an active #measles infection. Hooker traveled and didn't report his infection to any public health authorities. These are the folks who are trusted by our current HHS leader.
