Public health officials in Silicon Valley said an adult who contracted measles spent time at Google’s Mountain View campus last week.

Those most at risk are people

who have not been vaccinated against measles, officials said. The majority of people with measles this year in the U.S. were not vaccinated, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If a person infected with measles walks into a room, the virus can stay there for two hours after the person leaves, ready to infect. But the measles vaccine is 97% effective against the disease.Between Jan. 1 and April 4, 465 people nationwide were diagnosed with measles, making it the second biggest outbreak since 2000, according to the CDC. During all of last year, 372 measles cases were reported, according to the agency.

Then, last week, Long Beach officials announced that a traveler diagnosed with measles passed through Long Beach Airport twice while infectious. Travelers who were at the airport March 30 or April 7 between 6 and 8 a.m. could be at risk of catching measles, officials say.

Rockland County officials: 'We have 186 measles cases confirmed'Officials have updated orders for 186 cases of measles reported in Rockland County, New York. 84.4% affected by the outbreak are 18 years old or younger. And all of their parents should be investigated for being anti-vaxxers and put in jail if they refused to vaccinate their children. That's child endangerment. Yes - because most likely the parents were vaccinated! How many have died? I’m just wondering. I’m vaxed, my wife, and my kid. But it’s measles, not airborne AIDs. Sit, take a deep breath, and calm the F down.
