A case of measles has been confirmed in a Los Angeles County resident who recently traveled through LAX, the county's Department of Public Health said.
Even more fun! Measles eliminates your body’s built up immunities to other diseases. It basically hits the reset button on your immune system. Your immune system can take up to two years to recover from it. That’s why it was considered a “good” disease to get as a child, (so you could build your immunity back up as a child) but debilitating for adults to get (when you’re more prone to bad reactions from infections.)
Which means a bunch of people will have no immune system when the next pandemic hits.
So it’s gonna be a measles pandemic first & then a bird flu pandemic??
