I'm not sure. I do know that the CDC tracked it down to two people that infected others on their flight. But as I stated earlier, both kids and adults that have been vaccinated are getting it. It is a virus though and they do mutate so who knows.

Those 2 people have resulted in over 800 cases so far! This is very interesting because it does show how quickly things can spread (thinking in terms of a biological terrorism).
