Just a question. In Canada, the bulk of the cases are in the province of Quebec. Is there a reason it is just there? I live in Manitoba.

can't think of anything sarcastic to say right now although the test for the colon cancer sounds pretty useful

Question: why std people so afraid of measles?… unless there are complications, there’s nothing to worry about. Ok… there’s an outbreak… just see a dr… hopefully a Dr can cure you really fast!… if you let it be, in a week or so it’s gone. So now no mumps, measles, chicken pox… the body needs immunity … otherwise it will get sick with anything!

I got my MMR booster in 2018. I was teaching prek and there was a measles case in the community so I did it to help reduce spread and protect my prek kids. If you care about your community, stay up to date!
