California commuters, students warned: You might have gotten the measles

A student from the University of California might have spread measles to hundreds. This student likely got the measles during his trip overseas and didn't realize he had it until he returned. He had been all around the campus and surrounding community before he realized he was infected. To be infected with measles all you have to do is breath the same air as the infected person. If you share the same airspace as the infected person within 1 to 2 hours you have a very good possibility of getting sick. Measles is serious and kills one or two out of 1,000 infected children.
