Tim Kaine: “$46,464,000 already to respond to measles [this year].”

“The Infectious Disease Society of America says the median cost for a health department to respond to one case of measles is $32,000. So just multiply that by the 1454 cases this year. $46,464,000 already to respond to measles [this year]. which is at a rate that we haven't seen in a number of years. A case costs a median of 3200. But the price increases as you're trying to contact trace.” (03:34–03:40)
