Thanks for this. Two questions. How do you know there are 5000 unvaccinated in the county? Is this an example for the model? Second is this: would there not be some spread outside the county?
I've got tons of real time movement data ontexas schools. I wonder if there's evidence of the kind of decrease in movement noted in the model discussion.
Samoa had low vaccination rates leading to an outbreak at the end of 2019. 5,707 people were sick, 1,868 were hospitalized, and 83 died, mostly young children.
Mortality is anywhere from 1 per 1,000 with excellent access to care, and up to 150 per 1,000 when care is limited by logistics or high demand.
You probably don’t know about the ones who died when you were a kid, and many of the special ed kids you went to school with may have acquired their intellectual disability from measles encephalitis (also about 1 in 1,000), which you don’t see in vaccinated individuals.

Ya know, we all had measles in the 60s. You get sick and get better
In the 1950s, there were 5,487,332 cases (just under 550,000 a year) and 4,950 deaths (about 500 each year).
In 1962, there were 469,924 cases of measles in the United States and 432 deaths. https://vaxopedia.org/2018/03/15/a-history-of-measles-outbreaks-in-united-states/
Let's not forget those that have life long disabilities from this like myself. So, Many did NOT get better,
