Talk about an epidemic!

California, which is the center of the story, reports just over a hundred cases.

The second-most reported cases are in Arizona, with seven children who have the disease. New York and Utah each have up to three infected children, and Illinois around five. Talk about an epidemic! An epidemic of such apocalyptic proportions that it threatens an infinitesimally small portion of the population. I don’t mean to discount the health of those affected by measles; but let’s use proportionality in these matters. The media loves scaremongering over diseases because it boosts ratings. Remember Ebola?

He urged his chicken-ranching neighbors to exterminate their flocks.
"If it vould save chust one chicken" he said.
