Measles exposure warning issued for four New York counties
A traveler from Europe may have exposed people to measles in Chemung, Genesee, Livingston and Niagara counties, the New York state Department of Health warned Saturday. The traveler, who has a confirmed case of measles, visited multiple sites in upstate New York on April 30, and May 1-2. Anyone who visited the following locations on these dates and times could have been exposed:
- Old Country Buffet, 821 Country Route 64, Elmira, between 1 and 4 p.m. April 30.
- Ontario Travel Plaza on the New York state Thruway in Le Roy, between 4 and 6:30 p.m. April 30.
- Sheraton Niagara Falls, 300 3rd Street, Niagara Falls, from 5:30 p.m. April 30 to 9:30 a.m. on May 2.
- Niagara Falls Urgent Care, 3117 Military Road. Suite 2, Niagara Falls, between 3 and 6 p.m. May 1.
- Exit 5 on Interstate 390 in Dansville, from 9:30 a.m. to noon May 2.
The times reflect the period that the infected person was in these areas and a two-hour period after the individual left the area. The virus remains alive in the air and on surfaces for up to two hours.

Is it my script blocker or are they getting flooded with "5/10, measles was OK" reviews?

I use a combination of uMatrix, Privacy Badger, and Adblock Plus that tends to kill off certain advertising-extremist sites.
The "Old Country Buffet" restaurant genre is a warning sign that health problems may ensue. Got food poisoning from one of those once.
