safe mask, If measles also appears, then we’ll face an additional strain as local and state public health agencies scramble to trace contacts and contacts of the contacts. Slowing or halting a measles epidemic is both labor-intensive and expensive, and requires months, as we saw last year in New York City when more than 50 were hospitalized, including many in intensive care units. Frontline health care workers will be at special risk from these three respiratory illnesses. The consequences would extend beyond public health. We saw how China sustained significant economic damage due to collapses in business, trade, transportation and stock markets, as well as political fallout and loss of confidence in its leaders. If this were to happen in the U.S., it might affect the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

State legislatures will need to cooperate and close vaccine exemptions in more than 40 states. Several SARS CoV2 vaccines are in development, but it is unlikely one will be available for 2020. We may need to build temporary health facilities to care for patients and train health care professionals in infection control measures. There is a significant risk that all three major respiratory infections will soon occur simultaneously in many parts of the U.S., and we must take steps to get ready.

The rest of the passengers were subjected to health screenings before being allowed to disembark. And on Tuesday, Cambodian health officials determined that the final 781 passengers on the MS Westerdam had tested negative. “These results provide the required clearance for remaining guests in Cambodia to begin their onward journey home,” Holland American said in a statement released on Tuesday. “The company is working to finalize arrangements for everyone. Those who traveled home previously will be contacted by their local health department and provided further information.”
