First of all, fucking yikes, but second of all, we should be aspiring toward a society where:
- we've eradicated every pathogen known to cause a serious risk to people's lives
- we track every pathogen that we haven't eradicated with this much precision, rather than just taking the 🤷 approach we take with, say, influenza viruses, SARS-CoV-2, EBV, and many others
I love seeing breathless reporting saying "measles is extremely contagious" cause like. Huh. Really. And the fact that measles is extremely contagious, about on par with covid is concerning to you? Interesting.
