    Measles is incredibly, unbelievably, mind-bendingly contagious. It’s so contagious it makes the most evolved strains of Flu or COVID-19 seem primitive; they aren’t even close.

    Hence their press statement, which I will paste unaltered:

    https://www.avemaria.edu/campus-health-update

    the contagious period for measles includes the four days before a rash appears and the four days after the rash begins. Since our last update at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, February 6, nurses assessed five students on campus who presented with rash.

    Per DOH guidance, campus operations continue, including in-person classes; Masses and confessions; dining services; and noncurricular activities. AMU continues to provide comprehensive support services to ensure our students’ health, academic, and spiritual needs are met.

    -Starts off reasonable, and ends (to me) inexplicably. This is not COVID-19. If even a sliver of their students body is unvaccinated, they are going to get measles at these big gatherings.

    It’s… theoretically possible they found all the so-far-unsymptomatic carriers, I suppose, buts it kinda like hoping to survive a plane crash.
