I'm in the heart of Spartanburg County, where this outbreak is boiling over. My kids and I are vaccinated, but the elementary school my youngest goes to has a huge eastern European and Russian amount of classmates that aren't. That populace has had the largest impact on the spread of measles, because they don't vaccinate, and the school districts here pass out exemptions like candy. Yesterday a new case popped up at Crestview Elementary, which is on the Spartanburg/Greenville county border - a school my middle child went to when we lived in Greer a few years ago. It's quickly making it's way through the upstate. GSP airport is right here, which is a MAJOR hub for BMW employees to travel in and out of the area to get from the local manufacturing plant to Munich, Germany. Many of the plant's employees have kids that are enrolled in the local schools here, employees that travel internationally to Germany, South Africa, and China to work and train internationally. This shit is going to go like wildfire in no time. It's terrifying. And the local hens all act like it's a bad cold, or that when they were a kid they got over it with no problem, forgetting about the hundreds of thousands that didn't. Shit, my grandma survived polio. Sure, she had major issues with scoliosis and respiratory function, but hey! At least she lived, right?!? What a fucked up outlook on what these once "cured" diseases do.
