uuugghhh...the only thing I dont understand about these measles exposures is how they say people were only exposed at Macys that day during that timeframe  Was the baby no where else before he got diagnosed?

Re: 9 month old from Nassau County has the Measles
There is another post about this, FYI...
and I'll say it again! YIKES!
"The virus takes between 10 and 12 days to appear, and an infected person can be contagious for two to four days before and after symptoms are present."
"exposure period lasts three hours after the infected person leaves. "
