The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There were 57 cases and no deaths were reported. The outbreak was easily contained.

Contained? The fact remains the measles disease was introduced back
into America by illegal aliens.

Snip
“Since August 2022, approximately 41,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago, Illinois from the U.S. southern border (3); most (88%) are from Venezuela, a country with a recent decline in routine childhood immunization coverage, including with measles vaccine (4). On February 22, 2024, approximately 12,000 persons were residing in 27 temporary migrant shelters operated by the city of Chicago. The largest shelter (shelter A) is a congregate setting with shared sleeping areas, dining area, and bathrooms. On February 22, 2024, approximately 2,100 persons resided in shelter A, with some rooms housing 500 or more persons.”

Many illegals already infected had migrated to other cities causing the spread of the measles disease.
