Alabama health officials investigate possible measles exposure
https://www.yahoo.com/news/alabama-health-officials-investigate-possible-145241670.html
The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) is investigating potential exposures after an unvaccinated child traveling through the state tested positive for measles.
State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris told the State Board of Health Thursday the child was passing through Alabama on the way to a beach destination with family and made a brief stop at a motel.
While the child was likely infectious at the time, state health officials said they have not identified any high-risk exposures in Alabama. The case was confirmed after the child underwent an examination in another state.
"The case was confirmed after the child underwent an examination in another state"
... I guess or presume that aforementioned statement means the child got sick maybe during examination from a doctor's office then traveled through other states possibly spreading it ? I wonder what that other state was and what examination room!?

lol..also I think we need to do more than advise parents to teach their children to merely cough into the crevice of their inner elbows at schools to prevent outbreaks.(there was a school with outbreaks that said that was one of the reasons kids were getting sick was because they were failing to cover up their involuntary cough spasms properly and that parents need to teach kids how to not cough so openly)
"Teach your child the "Cover Your Cough" maneuver recommended by health professionals. Simply cough into the crook of the elbow instead of covering the cough with your hands".
LINK:
https://www.datareport.info/school-illness-outbreaks/oldham-county-schools-using-nti-next-3-days-due-to-illnesses/msg3013/#msg3013
...Masked Man reasons:I mean sure its better than nothing to cough into one's elbow but it doesn't compare to the benefits of masking something of which seems to be completely ignored by most health professionals.
Not to defend anyone or be contrarian but the "cough into your elbow" pre-dates Covid-19 by more than a few years and was never meant to be a substitute for masking. My understanding of that situation is that most people cough into their hands and then they touch objects with their hands which will spread germs. Conversely, the inside of your elbow tends to touch nothing that others would touch and so, therefore, coughing into it was seen as the lesser of two evils.
Of course, we live in an (ever-so-slightly more) enlightened age where people who are generally unwell are now more inclined to either stay home or mask (at least with a surgical) as opposed to walking around and coughing. However, the education is there should people find themselves without a mask.
Yes, I guess it all depends on the other person.. like my neighbor... he is so horrible he stands too close to your face when he talks...
This study seems to support that it is better to sneeze into a sleeved elbow (it almost seems better to sneeze into hands but only if you could wash hands thoroughly immediately afterwards)
https://www.scienceabc.com/humans/is-it-better-to-cover-a-sneeze-with-your-hand-or-elbow.html#google_vignette
I agree coughing into elbow is better than nothing but there have been some research that shows into a bare elbow does not provide “a proper seal against airflow from the nose” and mouth. Coughing this way allows potentially contaminated respiratory droplets to escape in many directions... depends on technique I guess one could cup hands to get a better seal then wash hands immediately... either way depending on technique air is going to shoot or leak out out from one corner or another...
its funny that supposedly this only works if you are wearing a sleeve and then nobody throws away their sleeve after they sneeze into it of course like its a dirty tissue...
...Ironically turns out mother must be wrong for having told us repeatedly all those years not to wipe our nose on our sleeves...
...what they really want is to start designing clothes with what I would call a built in "sputter bag. It would be of clothing that had a built in bag one could sputter, sneeze cough or do whatever they want into and maybe it could have a nice little draw string to close the sputter bag with when you are finished expelling into it..ha! I still think the mask is better.
...I agree its better than nothing to sneeze into something but I fear its just an excuse for people to pretend they are behaving responsibly when they go out in public sick and they don't want to wear a mask so they cough into their elbows then hug people anyway..lol
I guess the sleeve is the preferred way method to blow germs into according to "myth busters"

Summary:
Coughing into your elbow: a (new) old wives' tale
POSTED ON 19 DECEMBER 2023
TL;DR: There is little to no evidence to show that coughing into your elbow prevents the spread of disease.
LINK:
https://www.yorku.ca/professor/drsmith/2023/12/19/coughing-into-your-elbow-a-new-old-wives-tale/
Either way I have really horrible nasty unmannered neighbors who take no precautions and are probably on their last set of legs so to speak a heart attack waiting to happen again for that neighbor and I personally always mask and haven't caught covid yet so I haven't really test the sleeve method out and I suspect that some germs are so strong in covid or the measles that simply being in the room with somebody that has covid might very well get you sick even if they do sneeze into their elbow or cough into their elbow over and over... I'll let others test the wiping nose on your sleeve trick out..like I said Ive never caught covid and I mask a lot.
For me it all depends on the other person I have a neighbor so stupid so dumb he stands too close too people's faces when he talks you can feel his spit, He uses an excavator and buries a culvert with giant rocks that crush his culvert and flood out his own house and he blew up his truck engine the other day because he simply left his truck running to charge up his battery I guess and didn't bother to check his temperature gauge... the engine overheated , spewing poisonous antifreeze fluid all over driveway, and if engine had caught on fire then whole side of mountain could have gone up in smoke, while he was out running errands in another vehicle... this is also why I mask. You can't teach guys like that to cover their mouths is all I know. We are limited by our neighbor's intellegence and practices.
In a nightmare scenario where a mask wasn't available ,I do support the notion that people should cover their coughs and sneezes with their elbow and that it is probably better than nothing but not better than a mask or two masks for that matter...lol. Nothing is mentioned of sneezing or coughing with neck tilted downward through collar into the inside of shirt something Ive witnessed before as a teenager... Dracula sort of used a cape like a shroud and sort of covered his face with part of a cape when stalking prey so you could only see his eyes above the cape..
Again I have neighbors who take no precautions and probably have had covid and have had a heart attack and seem to have problems cognitively so I have to defend myself from them and wear a mask and keep personal boundaries.. I can't afford to rely on the sneezing into arm crevice because of my neighbor's behaviors who will probably not be round much longer.
I guess what I think is that I don't want to be around someone who is sneezing into their elbow or coughing into their elbow...lol.. That seems dangerous. That scenario simply scares me. I hear a sneeze or cough even from somebody standing outside and I hope I hear it from a distance.. long distance...lol Oh man just the idea of being next to person without a mask freaks me out!!
While I think people should cover sneezes and coughs in theory and may help a little its just not enough protection for me from others..The CDC's suggestion to sneeze into elbow simply isn't enough it doesn't apply and won't protect me whatsoever because of my neighbor's risky behavior. My neighbors are super nice but super dumb.. they are too nice and go to church and they probably don't cough and sneeze into one another face but they are losing this battle of covid nonetheless. He and she are older ..he's had a heart attack ..he runs around maskless and there's some signs of dementia now ... he should have masked like me because I see it coming. That family is falling apart. It sad really I warned him as I mask outside my door. He's older and like I said he's caught covid and already on his first heart attack and he's not protecting himself fully. I keep my distance from that type of guy.. its only a matter of time for him.
In my neighbor's case it would fall upon deaf ears to tell him to cover his face... he's simply to impaired so it would be dangerous for me to advise him as I already have implied he should be more careful and I just know he's of the mind people should just catch diseases and leave it up to God because that's my neighbor's way of thinking. Some people don't have boundaries and don't really respect other people's boundaries.. there are those people that simply don't mind making other's uncomfortable. My neighbor is like a know it all and a hot headed bully doesn't listen and does all the talking completely incapable of understanding certain cause and effect phenomena unable to understand even the easiest form of physics and has problems with spacial things invoking geometry ..what you might term a ball hog ..a guy that operates not unlike Trump if I may speculate freely on the matter. Anyway he wouldn't know if he was sick if he was sick and he one of these guys that runs up to ya and is a needy fast talker always has something up his sleeve... a dominating alpha type on some days and a big whining baby the next.. holds his jaw out when he's trying to look tough.. you know always making a face not unlike Trump. Probably an embezzler of various funds.. not the kind of guy I want coming up to me. Fortunately I know all this and make myself undesirable to him and so he doesn't mess with me like he does everyone else.
That being said, It's possible that through the press or media that typically advising people to cover their face when they think they are sputtering is surely better than nothing.
One could almost argue that the inner elbow a a very brief form of a temporary mask that then gets turned inside out and is worn on their sleeve but its just not a good mask... I fear the elbow is the lazy man's mask so to speak and is being used in place of a mask... Kind of like the poor man's wishful mask thinking. its like a hanky one blows into then ties around elbow. I dunno a guy sneezes into sleeve leaving hands clean and never touches his face to even check for excess moisture under his nose with a finger for the remaining time he's in the area would be a rare occurrence. People are always putting their hands to their chins thinking. People just touch their faces all the time ..look at Johnny Carson on tv and lots of people always rubbing their nose or scratching a little itch. The chances someone doesnt touch their face after sneezing or coughing into their sleeve just seems highly improbable.
We also haven't begun to consider the other person, the one that didn't sneeze or cough.. they put their fingers to their faces as well. Why doesn't CDC say people should cover their faces when other people sneeze? That's the whole key to not getting sick. We tell people to cover up their coughing and sneezing when they are already sick and we or rather the CDC doesn't say cover up your mouth when somebody else sneezes to actually prevent the spread of a virus. That's what I don't understand this tendency to mask sick people and not healthy ones in attempt prevent the spread of virus
The CDC never says enough in my opinion "Cover up your mouth with a mask and don't breathe in the air when somebody like a whole nation is sick or coughing.
OH! and here's yet another scenario what of people that sneeze and aren't sick!? In other words is sneezing and coughing and excess mucus clearing an opportunity for the sneezer to get sick?... what I am saying here is lets say a person who is healthy sneezes and wipes his nose on his sleeve which is actually contaminated from the airborne diseases of another? could that sneezer then get sick from an airborne disease from an asymptomatic person who had simply expelled airborne disease into the air? You see many viruses are asymptomatic and laughing into the air is also supposed to be just as bad as coughing or sneezing and since many people spreading diseases are not showing symptoms it could very well be that people sneezing are actually getting sick from asymptomatic people in the room. I would not overlook this possibility since many people spread viruses when they are asymptomatic. In the past there were many times I would catch a cold or get sick in a room full of people that never coughed or sneezed excessively. It was never obvious when I got sick who I got it from. Adccording to experts, covid for example, is carried and transmitted by people who don't necessarily feel that sick .. its called asymptomatic.
"May 14, 2023 — These droplets are expelled when someone with the airborne disease sneezes, coughs, laughs, or otherwise exhales in some way"
.. so to be fair because of the asymptomatic nature of some of the airborne illnesses we'd really need to tell people to also cover up their laughter or their heavy breath when being boisterous or lifting objects or being athletic. Again the problem isn't necessarily just the cougher and sneezers.. those are the dead giveaways .. the problem is with the asymptomatic; that seems to be the case with covid (not sure about measles)it seems to be the people who aren't coughing or sneezing and hugging and kissing like on Saturday night Live Reunions and laughing and itching yet still making everybody sick. Its also a little like saying who is to blame? Do we blame the sick ones for making us healthy ones sick or do we blame the healthy ones for letting the sick ones make them sick. All this is food for thought and interesting the way we respond to preventative measures.
I guess all this introspection on the matter applies to measles considering a Texas hospital wasn't able to to notice any apparent symptoms of measles from a woman who gave birth and also gave an outbreak of measles to 300 plus infants or so at a Texas hospital recently. Guess she was breathing heavy and the droplets shot into the room and the airborne illness of measles went all over the room. I guess she should have sneezed into her sleeve but measles is so contagious. it does kind of seem ridiculous would the CDC have advised that pregnant lady with measles breathe heavy into the crevice of her arm when she was having that baby...lol.. nah in the setting in a hospital setting the healthy doctors and nurses should have masked and I guess isolated that woman to give birth... I guess there's no crowd control in the hospital.. so tragic all those measles and all that suffering. There must be a way of circumventing that from happening again and again. So awful that measles outbreak.
I guess my stance on sneezing and coughing into elbow is that while it might deflect some germs it simply isn’t all encompassing enough to make me really feel safe for both the sneezer and the sneezee like a mask does considering viruses can be a symptomatic and be airborne despite sneezing and coughing. I can envision a guy covering up his mouth when he sneezes one minute and laughing in my face the next.
You can tell by the length of this reply how humbled I am and downright wary of catching the cold of death... its been a little over five years now of me masking and not getting sick I'd be afraid to gamble my life on anything less than wearing a mask at this stage. its hard for me mentally to wrap my mind around anything less than masking outside my door so much is my habit of masking engrained. I admit I am very skeptical trusting another to somehow shield their mouths and their vapors with an arm or anything since I am die hard masker. lol.. seems like an insult almost to a guy that wears a mask all the time to even be around maskless people for me because Ive trained myself to simply always wear my mask. A lot of other preventative measures just seem like nothing to me probably because I have filter over my mouth and nose and the maskless don't. So I must admit I dare scoff and even poke fun of those that think they can somehow shield their covid or measles vapors from filling some public room. Psychologically it seem in my best interest to assume sneezing into arm doesn't work to be on the safe side for a masker like me. Since I mask and the sneezer doesn't it just doesn't make sense for me to even be around such a person ... this is a strong feeling for me because Espouse because I have conditioned myself to wear the mask. I actually get grossed out and somewhat turned off by the maskless probably because I have conditioned myself to wear this mask and because I feel the maskless days are numbered and not worth me getting emotionally attached to them. Its true I don't bond with the maskless because they pose a threat to me for the most part because they could be carrying covid or other airborne diseases and yet I am healthy having worn my mask in so many activities outside my home. So I tend to disregard the value of sneezing into arm.. I figure ya might as well wear a mask because of that asymptomatic stuff. All I know is that people that skimp out on not wearing masks and taking taking strict precautions seem to keep getting sick and they are dwindling and even losing cognitive reasoning abilities... it seems like I on the other hand am clear in head and mind and my masking seems to protect me from the ills that are hitting maskless altogether every season. I seem to be the same health wise for having masked and taken all these precautions while many people around me seem to be getting weaker and dwindling every time they get sick.
To me, while sneezing into clothes might possibly address some of the viruses surface contamination it doesn't address the fact measles still linger in the air for two hours amongst the symptomatic and the asymptomatic I also just think people don't necessarily have to sneeze or cough to pass viruses around such as covid and measles..I am thinking viruses actually get passed around by a lot of asymptomatic people or people that hide their symptoms in public ..you know those that wipe their noses on their sleeves when nobody is looking and those that pick their noses in the car..lol
Sneezing into inner elbow helps keep computer screen cleaner I do know that...lol
There but for the grace of the mask goest I,
The Masked Man
P.S I find it reasonable to take twice as many precautions recommended to make up for those that aren’t taking any precautions whatsoever.

lol..also I think we need to do more than advise parents to teach their children to merely cough into the crevice of their inner elbows at schools to prevent outbreaks.(there was a school with outbreaks that said that was one of the reasons kids were getting sick was because they were failing to cover up their involuntary cough spasms properly and that parents need to teach kids how to not cough so openly)
"Teach your child the "Cover Your Cough" maneuver recommended by health professionals. Simply cough into the crook of the elbow instead of covering the cough with your hands".

...Masked Man reasons:I mean sure its better than nothing to cough into one's elbow but it doesn't compare to the benefits of masking something of which seems to be completely ignored by most health professionals.
Not to defend anyone or be contrarian but the "cough into your elbow" pre-dates Covid-19 by more than a few years and was never meant to be a substitute for masking. My understanding of that situation is that most people cough into their hands and then they touch objects with their hands which will spread germs. Conversely, the inside of your elbow tends to touch nothing that others would touch and so, therefore, coughing into it was seen as the lesser of two evils.
Of course, we live in an (ever-so-slightly more) enlightened age where people who are generally unwell are now more inclined to either stay home or mask (at least with a surgical) as opposed to walking around and coughing. However, the education is there should people find themselves without a mask.

Newborn babies exposed to measles in Texas hospital March 14, 2025

Masked Man Commentary:
I'm just going by what the facts are about measles and how it spreads and why it spreads... If you know how airborne diseases work then it seems reasonable we should behave in certain ways and adopt a code of conduct in the face of an airborne disease... one should use the right tools for the job and to face highly contagious diseases without the proper gear tools and code of conduct simply seems foolish ... so I criticize people who know facts and the theory but don't take the necessary actions or model the right behaviors and practices in the face of highly contagious diseases such as measles... First of all i couldn’t even watch this NBC link all of the way through. I should supply readers with a better pandemic/outbreak newsworthy link … I gotta tell you these broadcasters are not good teachers note good role models insofar as how to behave during outbreaks .. they look ridiculous all huddled together maskless.People, don’t create gatherings … don’t mimic herd like or flock like behavior when contagious diseases at stake .. these newscasters aren’t modeling how people should behave when airborne diseases are breaking out .. don't do what these so called NBC(National Broadcaster Corporation) experts do.. don't sit together in groups while outbreaks are going on... use your brains... wear a mask while preaching about airborne diseases! You just remember and think about this when you see that maskless doctor on tv: Measles lingers in the air at least two hours and that maskless doctor is no different than the maskless patient!
Just a little friendly advice, It might just be that the typical person who presents a radio or television transmission has personal difficulty or a conflict of interest with encouraging mask use so these typical people associated with tv broadcasting might not be the best people to seek advice about airborne diseases.
We are talking 300 hundred poor innocent infants... is it any wonder considering healthcare rarely takes advantage of masking and other virus preventing precautions that they could take prior to outbreaks? I don't see how healthcare can blame someone from outside the hospital for coming into a hospital with measles considering I think it is hospitals that are supposed to treat and prevent viruses and diseases from occurring.
Dear hospitals and healthcare if you didn't notice or read the news lately there's been scary measles outbreaks occurring all over America..
Why just the other day, 3 days ago on the 11th, The Texas Department of State Health Services themselves published dat that "Texas measles cases grow to 223, mostly among children and teens" look at the picture of the unmasked healthcare guy with an infant.. Hey healthcare workers, mind putting on a mask for me and my old lady!?
Texas healthcare workers, Mind reading the following news(note the unmasked guy with only one glove on, administering shots to baby in healthcare facility where I'm sure other babies enter):!?:
(Attachment Link)
Again, hospitals are supposed to treat and prevent viruses and diseases from occurring.. at least try to create a safe healthcare environment by wearing personal protection gear such as masking unless you want measles and other airborne viruses and viruses to spread.
It just makes sense that when people enter a hospital treat them as if they might be sick or that there might be germs in a place where people often frequent with a multitude of illnesses and ailments. Make it a safe place! :)
So will other hospitals and healthcare facilities learn from this and adopt mask mandates and take measures prior to another outbreak or will this occur at more and more hospitals? We shall see.

...Newborn babies exposed to measles in Texas hospital March 14, 2025...
I just have to say there is something very wrong here in that 300 babies have gotten measles at a hospital. This is a failure not to be taken lightly. This goes on record forever that this happened.
This thread "2025 US Measles Tracking Thread" could have saved lives and needless suffering. Had Hospitals and healthcare facilities taken interest in following the thread they would have been aware that their own Texas Department of State Health Services themselves published data that "Texas measles cases grow to 223, mostly among children and teens". Hospitals and healthcare facilities are really ignoring taking preventative measures such as mask mandates and enforcing a certain code of safety and conduct insofar as airborne diseases and illnesses go. They can't wash their hands enough to say they did all they could have whatsoever to me to protect their patients or those babies of a measles outbreak or any airborne diseases outbreak.
Anyone following these Data report Info archives and this thread knows for a fact that we've got measles outbreaks, covid outbreaks, etc. popping up in every part of this country and all we know is that this hospital and many hospitals and healthcare facilities aren't reading or following these very important archives and studies pertinent to their medical work and duties furthermore these hospitals didn't adopt masking mandates and preventative measures before outbreaks occur. Needless suffering could have very well been prevented had hospitals and healthcare people simply read this thread and educate themselves with how airborne viruses work and learn to take every possible means to prevent and reduce them in their facilities.
Ive said it once and I'll say it again: Masks help prevent airborne diseases and illnesses. People who frequent hospitals and healthcare areas often seek care for and often have and airborne disease and illness so please mask up and take precautions for your sake and for the sake of others.

...Masked Man reasons:I mean sure its better than nothing to cough into one's elbow but it doesn't compare to the benefits of masking something of which seems to be completely ignored by most health professionals.
Let me touch on another matter which I think is somewhat dangerous for the masses to presume and that is the idea we must all become immune to everything. I guess immunity is a controversial matter but typically I suggest that it is wrong to think catching a virus or disease will make one stronger. Maybe it applies for a seasonal cold for a season and maybe ya only get chicken pox once but I'm skeptical of this attitude that one can develop immunity against all all diseases and all of the viruses. I think certain forms of immunity might apply to some diseases but is a dangerous practice to adopt. I term it the "immunity " myth where some people think if you catch something like a virus your body will get stronger and therefore develop ability to ward off the next virus or variant.. while maybe there is a certain kind of immunity involved with antibodies this is certainly of limited value for covid's variants and many other contagious viruses .. I think this idea that one becomes stronger after catching diseases for the most part is of limited practicality for the individual as well as not very healthy for the rest of society.
In the big picture because not all airborne viruses act alike, I tend to be of the mind catching or exposing oneself to any virus is always a bad thing and never really makes a person healthier nor is it very helpful for others that get sick .. While people may not always catch certain diseases/illnesses twice in row right away it is clearly a bad idea to catch a virus in hopes your body will become immune to it. If that was the case then all older people would be at an advantage because they've been exposed to more viruses in life and none of the older people would catch illnesses because their immunity systems would be so powerful from all the past illnesses which is clearly not the case.
I will add I do think there are forms of immunity and that a certain kind of immunity does exist and is useful and perhaps plays a role in the discovery of preventing and even curing diseases and viruses... my only argument or rather I am opposed against relying on my immunity system alone because it only works some of the time and doesn't work for all the viruses we face all of the time.
Sooo, this may not be a popular view but what I do is weigh such odds, skim through some data, read a little history ,do a little math and use a little logic, I estimate the likelihood of viruses and variants and simply fathom the densely populated areas combined with super expedient transportation amongst such a dense population of people, I use some intuition some deduction and think about my own experiences in regards to suffering in illness or healthy bliss then I decide for me I'm best off Masking and rather than let my immunity system protect me , I protect it...rather than let my immunity system duke it out with a world of germs and viruses, I protect my immunity system with a mask! :) I allow my immunity system to heal the nicks and scrapes bumps and bruises I get just living naturally while I wear a mask so as not to burden my immune system from the airborne diseases.
