On September 10th, a traveler carrying measles passed through Chicago's Union Station en route from Missouri to New York, leaving behind an invisible trail of potential exposure in one of the nation's busiest transit corridors. The incident is a quiet reminder that in an age of rapid movement, infectious disease travels with us — across state lines, through crowded halls, and into communities whose immunity may be uneven. Chicago health officials have sounded the alert, knowing that in a place where thousands pass daily, the exposed are many and the identifiable are few.
