Anyone else feeling freaked out? My son's not old enough for the MMR. I believe it's now up to eight cases in Minneapolis and two in Michigan. There are also outbreaks in Europe. Wtf. With travel being so easy these days, I'm hoping this doesn't get out of hand. More than it is anyway.

This is so scary to me. My sister is one of those people who can't get immunizations (well, she can but she can't build antibodies so it's useless) and she relies on herd immunity. I'm in Michigan and she's supposed to visit in a few weeks. I hope it doesn't get too crazy.
ETA- I do acknowledge though that sometimes you can get these diseases even after being immunized but certainly immunizing statistically helps the population as a whole.

There are 73 confirmed cases of the mumps in Toronto. I'm freaking out. I have an 8 week old baby and am honesty worried about taking her out in public.

@Cole: so frustrating especially for people who don't have the option to get vaccinated 
@Mrs. Pen: @gentlelunette: it's scary when our babies are too young. Makes me nervous about going places, too. And 73?!??? mumps cases, yikes.
