@nedpyle.com I'm assuming you are still here in FL today, and you might think (again) "Hey, it looks great out there for a walk" or maybe the AC in your hotel makes you want to take a "thaw out" walk to the conference center. You might be right for 0.2s, but NO! Take an Uber.

We need to do a better job of teaching the science and history of disease in the world, and of all the efforts we have done to prevent them. There is no reason for us to relearn via hands on experience why these vaccines were created.
Nearly 100 people across Texas and New Mexico have contracted measles, state officials say, escalating anxiety over the spread of a potentially life-threatening illness that was declared eliminated in the United States more than two decades ago.
Measles, once eliminated in the U.S., sickens 99 in Texas and New Mexico
Health authorities warned of further spread. Most U.S. measles cases this year involved people 19 and under and those without a confirmed vaccination.
