Texas measles outbreak spreads to Oklahoma with two cases

No information has been revealed about the OK cases: age, vaccination status, location, etc., hopefully it will be revealed with time. Currently OK officials are saying that this "does not pose a public health risk", I officially am saying bull. We have two DOCUMENTED cases in Oklahoma - we don't know where, we don't know how many infected people are not yet showing symptoms. We don't know where they were exposed, or even if they were exposed in Texas - or New Mexico. It's less than a three hour drive from Lubbock to Oklahoma, which is not very far. We don't know how long they were symptomatic and spreading germs before they were diagnosed and presumably isolated.

The death in New Mexico was not uncovered until it was was tested post-mortem. Without more information revealed, it is a public health risk.

I wouldn't call this a spillover unless the cases are definitely adjacent to Texas. The fact that Oklahoma is adjacent to Texas is ridiculous, what if the cases are in the NE corner of OK?

In the realm of updated numbers, Oklahoma kindergartners are only 88% vaccinated with MMR, whereas the ideal herd immunity level is 95% or above. TX case count is up to 223, that's +25 since Friday.

NM is up to 33, 27 were unvaccinated and the remainder are vax status unknown.
