Your regular reminder that measles has a r0 (basic reproduction number) of 12-18, which means that in an immune-naive environment every infected person will infect 12 to 18 people around them: it's one of the most infectious diseases out there. Get a MMR booster or get your titers checked, ASAP.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.
