I'd call your ped and ask how long the airborne virus can still be transferred.

I would...how many people do you think you pass in your life who have something that is contagious and you just don't know about it.

It wouldn't bother me at all. Its just in the press and people are panicking.

IMO im waiting at least a week before i step into that mall again. I know you come into contact with people unkownling having things.. but thats b/c you dont know.. knowing and still going is different to me.

Can I ask why people are hesitating? Wasn't it a baby of someone shopping, not a worker? Wouldn't any germs they left behind have died with this much exposure to the air?

I agree. I do think that by now whatever was lingering is gone but for my own sanity I would wait another week.

Re: do you think its ok.......

According to WebMD, it takes 8-12 days for symptoms to appear. If anyone at the mall DID catch measles, but didn't bother getting tested, it's possible that they have it and are contagious.
