China is actually doing a better job against measles than the United States. We have become complacent.

I keep hearing about this happening (temperature taking). Since the person can be contagious but a-symptomatic for up to 14 days before symptoms occur, I keep wondering what exactly this is doing other than stopping the folks who are most seriously sick. Is this really just another flu strain though? It's a corona virus, but so is the common cold -- that doesn't mean they are all the flu. Now I hear this thing can be spread through the air (not just droplets), which means the spread distance from an infected person is much greater than the common cold/flu. This is certainly some of the better news I've heard lately.
