Measles spread on the Ark…

https://local12.com/news/local/measles-exposure-al...

“WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. (WKRC) - The Kentucky Department for Public Health issued a measles exposure alert after an unvaccinated, out-of-state individual with measles visited the Ark Encounter in Williamstown on Dec. 29.

The individual also stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Dry Ridge from Dec. 28 to Dec. 30. The Northern Kentucky Health Department is responding to the potential exposure.”

You gotta wonder how well they clean those rooms. I remember long ago they would have a paper sash (usually on the toilet) saying "sanitized for your protection" (but was it really?). I recall seeing a news story where reporters booked the same room on two consecutive nights. The first reporter would use some sort of pigment on the sheets that showed up under black light. The second reporter would then check to see if the pigment was there, or if the sheets had been changed. A shocking number had not been changed (they performed this experiment in several hotels).

As I recall, it was quite the scandal for a short time. Probably between 10 and 20 years ago. Don't remember precisely, nor which hotels were implicated.

So, an unvaccinated, out-of-state pilgrim arrived to commune with replica hyenas and instead delivered an authentic Old Testament plague experience: two-by-two went the animals, one-by-one came the antibodies.

Visitors expected a taste of biblical living, and voila — instant exposure to a pre-Enlightenment disease! Truly, they were blessed with that Genesis-era authenticity: ancient pathogens, limited medical understanding, and an all-you-can-catch buffet of preventable misery.

someone sneaks in a stem exhibit for the chiso (christians-in-superstitions-only).
