Makes me nervous about going places, too. And 73?!??? mumps cases, yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measles-in-minnesota-and-michigan#post-2724662 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:48:38 +0000 gentlelunette 2724662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measles-in-minnesota-and-michigan#post-2724661 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:36:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2724661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I live in Minnesota. Definitely annoyed since I have a five week old!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measles-in-minnesota-and-michigan#post-2724654 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:02:48 +0000 Cole 2724654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measles-in-minnesota-and-michigan#post-2724645 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 11:14:15 +0000 MrsSCB 2724645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. 😢</p> <p><a href="http://m.startribune.com/five-new-cases-of-measles-confirmed-in-hennepin-county/419511993/" rel="nofollow">http://m.startribune.com/five-new-cases-of-measles-confirmed-in-hennepin-county/419511993/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/04/07/522867040/as-measles-surges-in-europe-officials-brace-for-a-rough-year" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/04/07/522867040/as-measles-surges-in-europe-officials-brace-for-a-rough-year</a> </p>
