Do you shave the Sheep first?
Spread the joy — and not your germs — at Disneyland
Can guests who are infectious simply stay away from the park?

>>It’s become as unwelcome a California tradition as the Dodgers’ annual playoff collapse. There’s been yet another measles exposure incident at Disneyland.
No one wants to think about the West Coast’s most popular theme park becoming America’s petri dish — the germiest place on Earth. But any location that welcomes tens of thousands of visitors a day can become a hub for the distribution of germs and viruses. Like those kids whose parents didn’t get them vaccinated, theme parks are not immune.
Yet it’s not the measles that I fear when visiting popular tourist locations such as Disneyland. It’s the more common colds and flu that worry me each time someone in line next to me coughs or sneezes.
Why can’t sick people just stay home? It’s easy to feel indignant like that when you’re well. But I’ve been in the position when a family member suffers the bad luck to get sick just as we’re ready to head out on a long-planned (and not inexpensive) vacation. There’s rarely a good and easy way to escape that predicament.<<
>>Whether you are visiting a theme park, flying on an airplane or even just walking around the neighborhood, we are all part of a community. And good citizenship demands that we do what we can to protect everyone else in our community. Because unless you inhale a churro sundae before riding Space Mountain, no one should get sick at Disneyland.<<

Sorry, data for sheep was beyond the scope of this study.
EDIT PS: This was for Human Papillomavirus, not Herpes. Yeah, but still.....

I think we are a little beyond the measles topic here and totally off topic for a family friendly Disneyland discussion.Science! Scroll down to get tables of the actual numbers. Some of you menfolk have been busy.

Yeah, maybe they could start an STD thread in the political forum instead.

The biggest problem with measles is that people are already contagious a few days before they even know they're sick. Hence, the extra importance of vaccination.Spread the joy — and not your germs — at Disneyland

The whole last page jumped to non family friendly discussion of STDs (with gifs). But my bad, I guess, for trying to add humor by posting a science article.
