BREAKING🤨: Health officials have warned of a potential measles outbreak at Los Angeles International airport.

A passenger arriving on a Korean Air flight from Seoul to the US tested positive for the highly contagious respiratory illness, which is currently ripping its way through Texas with two reportedly dead in its wake.

Travelers who were in Terminal B on February 19 during the hours of 1pm to 4pm have been warned that they could be at high risk of the virus.

The airport is working with the CDC to notify passengers on the flight who might have been close enough to the infected traveler to contract the disease.

Passengers who believe they were exposed to the virus at Los Angeles airport have been advised to confirm if they have been vaccinated against measles.

Experts warn the US is currently vulnerable to measles outbreaks because of falling vaccination rates. America suffered its first fatality from the disease in a decade this week after the death of an unvaccinated child in Texas.

Measles is transmitted by direct contact with infectious droplets or by airborne spread when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes.

Already Texas Instruments has built a new massive semiconductor plant in North Texas. I'm sure they're not the only one making that kind of domestic investment.

The US literally has to re-establish these markets or pay the tariffed price...
