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.

takyon: Measles outbreaks have been reported in Okinawa, Pennsylvania, and Missouri recently.

    Shaking hands is one of the curses of American society. Although President Macron is really, really good at it. OK, now tell me, tell me, you ever watch, I watch in amazement. They're standing there grabbing the urinal for balance. And then they come up and they say, "Mr. Trump, I'm a big fan, I'd like to shake your hand." I may be a bad guy, when you say excuse me, you were just holding the urinal. They go up and they, they want to shake your hand. They're not doing it to be bad people.

    Let me tell you, I'm a clean hands freak. I wash my hands as much as possible. I like cleanliness. Cleanliness is a nice thing. Not only hands, body, everything.
