Health officials said nearly 700 people at two universities in Los Angeles have been ordered to stay home because they might have had contact this month with two measles patients.

The highest number of actively quarantined people, 628, was connected to Cal State Los Angeles, where a single measles patient created hundreds of possible exposures by visiting a campus library, officials said. That number includes at least 106 staff members, according to the university.

Across town at UCLA, 853 students and seven faculty members might have been exposed to one measles patient, she said. Health officials verified immunization for hundreds, leaving 45 students and one faculty member under quarantine Friday, Ferrer said. Federal health officials say the number of confirmed measles patients in the United States — 626 in 22 states — is on pace to surpass 2014's record 667 cases. One in 1,000 children who contract the disease will die, according to the CDC.

"Autism has become an epidemic … I am totally in favor of vaccines," he said at the time."But I want smaller doses over a longer period of time."

Any student that knowingly had the measles and had the nerve to attend classes knowing that person could have infected other students then those students could have infected their children or family members should have been expelled from school indefinitely. Need to say more?

I would assume people at universities are students, and most students have had the vaccine. So what’s the problem?
