Six students have measles in an outbreak at a Florida elementary school.

How did Florida's health department respond?

Their Surgeon General sent out a letter that supports parents sending unvaccinated children to school during the outbreak and doesn't recommend vaccination.

There is a cluster of measles cases that has been identified at Manatee Bay Elementary. The Florida Department of Health (DOH) is continuously working with all partners, including Broward County Public Schools and local hospitals, to identify close contacts. Measles can be transmitted four days prior to the start of symptoms. When measles is detected in a school, it is normally recommended that individuals without history of prior infection or vaccination stay home for up to 21 days. This is the period of time that the virus can be transmitted. However, due to the high immunity rate in the community, as well as the burden on families and educational cost of healthy children missing school, DOH is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance. This recommendation may change as epidemiological investigations continue. Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD State Surgeon General

    @vampiress Yeeeeeeeep. I'm an almost lifelong Kevin Smith fan, and I'm glad to say that most of his movies hold up well. I've been rewatching them lately with people that haven't seen them. Jason Mewes probably has the most offensive stuff in any of the films, and even his character is usually lovable.

    @vampiress My brain is broken, I heard this text entirely in Farnsworth's voice.

    Aww... Carl Weathers, who starred as Apollo Creed in the first four Rocky films and appeared in Predator, The Mandalorian, Happy Gilmore, Action Jackson and dozens of other films and TV shows, died Tuesday, his family announced. He was 76. https://deadline.com/2024/02/carl-weathers-dead-1235812684/

    OMFG. I'd never heard it before either, Robbie.

    Via Emptywheel:

    This is actually one of Roger Stone's favorite slurs against women. He has used it against me at least once.

    " told her: 'See you next Tuesday' – a phrase that is often used as a derogatory euphemism directed at women." https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/01/politics/roberta-kaplan-donald-trump-deposition-maralago/index.html

    As for , here's what he tweeted to me in 2014, among other things::

    @GottaLaff yep. C-U-Next-Tuesday. Common among toxic ones. There's also Can't-Understand-Normal-Thinking. Probably others but those are the two biggest "locker room talk" ones I'm familiar with hearing.

    I have this memory of drinking frozen OJ growing up. It came in a little paper cylinder, and you put it in a pitcher and added water then stirred and it was orange juice. There was apple juice too...

    Is that a thing anymore? What the heck was the frozen juice thing about. I can't even find it anymore.

    @damoncjones@mastodon.social avatar

    @futurebird others probably said this, but stores still carry it, usually near frozen fruit. You can also get it in Dollar Tree and Dollar General stores.

    Ugh. I'm generally happy with roaming on #GoogleFi, but its German MVNO partner is blocking port 995, so I can't access my mail server, and tech support is like, "If you want to report a mail problem, you must initiate a chat request from that email address." I'm stuck in circles - obviously I can't login to the Google Fi app with a non-Google address, and this isn't an email problem, it's a connectivity problem. ALL outbounds on 995 are blocked, not just to my server.

    @pluralistic thank you for giving me another reason to not consider GoogleFi. I toy with the idea every couple of years, read a small but poignant horror story, and retreat safely back to T-mobile. While not perfect, I have none of the Google issues ya'll talk about.
