Return of the Measles

This blog post will be about something i read in an Upfront magazine explaining the return of the measles disease. For those who don't know about measles, it is a disease that mostly children can get infected by it. The symptoms are a runny nose, high fever, sneezing and a hacking cough. Years ago this disease was exterminated "permanently" from US grounds; now it has return. It started when at least one infected member of a family took a trip to Disney World; that is when the measles started to spread. Now it is spreading faster than it was before it occurred in America. Schools started to close down or ban students who haven't been vaccinated yet, or is just plain infected. Recently doctors, nurses, scientists, and others have been bringing back out the measles cure and have been opening clinics for vaccinations. Hopefully the US can keep up with the measles and can get rid of it once again before it spreads nationwide. I did not have much information on this pose (although I read the article, wasn't really much notes to take) so I apologize if you needed more information. How about checking out the Upfront Magazine website? Here's the link: Upfront Magazine Website I appreciate you taking your time to read my blog post.
