2) get a measles titer measurement; or...

The Uber that picked my dog and myself from the vet yesterday was a Tesla. I never rooted for her peeing in an inappropriate place stronger than I did in that ride.

The American Medical Association is urging the public to get vaccinated against the measles:
"Measles is extremely contagious and can cause life-threatening illness. There is no cure or specific antiviral treatment for measles. Vaccination remains the best defense against measles infection."
