MEASLES, a few interesting facts

Measles was practically zero in the US until parents forgot or never knew what it was like not to have vaccines or were hoodwinked into believing vaccines were worse than the diseases and deaths they prevented. Here's what's happening now with measles.

[Items in square brackets are additions added as explanations.]

"Routine coverage for kindergarteners dropped to 92% for DTaP and 92.4% for MMR, both below the 95% threshold experts say is needed to prevent outbreaks. That’s landing in the middle of a rough year for measles specifically: the U.S. has logged 2,566 cases in 2026, a 35-YEAR HIGH, with active outbreaks in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Utah, and 93% OF PEOPLE DIAGNOSED WERE UNVACCINATED. The spread is serious enough that it threatens the country’s official “measles eliminated” status, a decision the Pan American Health Organization is expected to make in November."

[Information above is from the Centers for Disease Control]

[DTaP is the vaccine for Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis which is Whooping Cough. Two doses of MMR provide about 97% protection against measles and rubella, and 88% against mumps. The standard schedule gives the first dose at 12–15 months and the second at 4–6 years old.]

[Wisconsin Public Radio reports that for the cases of measles in Wisconsin, "ALL BUT ONE of the 23 people with confirmed or suspected cases was UNVACCINATED." The WPR report also noted that "If a person comes in contact with someone who is infected with the virus, the CDC said 9 out of 10 people will contract measles unless they’re protected [vaccinated]. ONE IN FOUR PEOPLE ARE HOSPITALIZED AFTER CONTRACTING THE VIRUS, according to DHS.]

LUNA's GROCERIES, on Red Arrow Trail, is applying to sell individual liter-sized cans of b**r. Note that Luna's apparently can already separately sell 24-ounce cans and 32-ounce quart bottles of b**r since they are on display in the refrigerated case there.

Public hearing in front of the Alcohol License Review Committee coming up for Luna's grocery story on Red Arrow Trail opposite MacDonald's.

WEDNESDAY, 8/19/2026 5:30 PM, either in person or online

Request is to allow the store to sell single liter-sized containers of b**r. Apparently the current license for Luna's does not permit this, though on a visit to Luna's one can see that single 24-ounce cans and single 32 ounce glass bottles of b**r are for sale.

FYI: One liter of b**r is 33.8 US fluid ounces—usually rounded to 34 oz.

Also, from the internet: for a 150-pound male, consuming about 36 ounces (three 12-ounce standard b**rs at 5% alcohol by volume) in ONE HOUR will push his blood alcohol concentration past the 0.08% legal driving limit, which is a standard legal threshold for being considered drunk. Mild impairment begins with the first drink.
