Title: More measles on another plane from China
Post by: Gay Boy Roberto on April 08, 2015, 06:54:55 PM
(CBC) Passengers on a second flight from Beijing to Vancouver may be at risk of contracting measles, according to Vancouver Coastal Health.



A person diagnosed with measles exposed people on Air China Flight 991 — also labelled Air Canada Flight 6601 — which landed at Vancouver International Airport at 12:15 p.m. PT on Saturday, April 4.



The infected person had been on board another Beijing-Vancouver flight two weeks ago where two passengers had measles, said Dr. Reka Gustafson of Vancouver Coastal Health.



A total of nine people became infected with measles after flying on the March 21 flight or having come in contact with someone who was on that flight, including a high school student from Lord Byng Secondary in Vancouver, said Gustafson.



She said the measles-infected person on the April 4 flight likely caught it on the flight two weeks earlier. Gustafson wouldn't comment on whether the infected person worked for the airline.

That's frickin scary  ac_crying. People with compromized immune systems are at a huge risk, this is life threatening to them if they catch this. I sure hope we get this under control fast.
