Newborn babies have been exposed to measles at a Texas hospital and are receiving antibodies to protect them, NBC reports. The virus was brought into the University Medical Center Children's Hospital by a mother in labor — doctors didn't realize until after her admission that she was infected, and it's unclear when she tested positive. The immunoglobulin injections have been given to babies as young as three days old. A 2021 study found this therapy is highly effective in protecting exposed newborns who are too young to be vaccinated. Emergency masking procedures have also been implemented.

We’re convinced we animate our bodies.
That we’re the brains running things (aliens merely using our bodies to get around, a favourite columnist once said).
Then we learn our bodies animate us.
The extent to which we depend upon and are made by them.
It’s a hard lesson—
Be kind to yourself.
Eat well.
Enjoy life.
Do your best without self-punishment or negative self-talk; embrace forgiveness—of yourself & others.
And know even then, good as you be, it can end any time.
