Every time I see artificial intelligence abbreviated as AI, I have to reframe because my brain sees "Al" as in Al Pacino and then all I can think of is gangster films and random shouting.

At least the third university I've seen in the last few weeks. Also U of Wisconsin Madison and Ave Maria (also Fl, 22(?) cases last I saw). Glad my university has an active #measles task force to prepare.

Got this same email, so not feeling great about it right now. Especially since I read that the FL DOH has been slow to update or share reports with the public and I have seen no mention of these 2 cases in Alachua County on their DOH website either. So it's likely even higher.
yeehaw. Measles in Alachua and FL DOH "conducting contact tracing in two University of Florida classes in which exposure to measles may have occurred."
