The number of confirmed cases linked to the Disneyland measles outbreak continues to rise, with Disney officials saying five of their employees have been infected. Linda So reports.
California state officials cautioned people who haven’t been vaccinated against measles to avoid visiting the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim.
More than 100 measles cases have been reported in more than a dozen U.S. states this year, with most of the cases part of a large, ongoing multistate outbreak linked to California Disneyland.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says a foodborne outbreak of Listeria has been linked to deli meats. According to Gizmodo, the CDC says the contaminated meat has hospitalized at least ten people in three states and killed one. The outbreak is thought to have started sometime this summer, with all known cases having been confirmed between August 6, 2020 and October 3, 2020. Victims have ranged from ages 40 to 89, with cases in Florida, Massachusetts, and New York. The CDC cautions anyone in a high-risk category to avoid cold cuts altogether unless they’ve been cooked to a 'steaming hot' 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Infectious disease epidemiologist Dr. Syra Madad says that disease outbreaks are often accompanied by infodemic, where unreliable information spreads quickly. Having previously battled outbreaks of Ebola, Zika, and measles,Dr. Madad says that she always has to fight the 'contagion of misinformation.' However, Business Insider reports there are ways for people to vet their sources. Use the 5 W's: whose, what, why, when, and where. Whose information is being presented? A government, or a company? Do they have a track record of providing credible information? What are they offering? A product? When was the information written, and by whom? Also, why are they offering this information? Why does this source exist? Finally, where is it coming from? What is the agenda of the source? Is its information based on credible evidence that can be cross-checked?
