Measles is fairly manageable Measles is not generally a deadly disease. Im not saying anyone wants to get measles but I know a bunch of kids in our school growing up had measles, and chicken pox, measles. I mean we just got this! It wasnt a big end of the world I mean were making it out to be this big deal. I just dont think its that big of a deal.
The thing is that measles can be serious extremely serious especially if the infected person has a compromised immune system. According to the CDC, 28 percent of children under the age of five who contracted measles from 2001-2013 had to be treated in the hospital. The CDC also notes that measles can lead to pneumonia, permanent brain damage, deafness and death.
