In the suburbs of Atlanta, a measles outbreak that began within the walls of a single daycare facility has grown to ten confirmed cases, drawing the sustained attention of Georgia's public health apparatus.

Officials are now tracing contacts and urging communities to reckon with a quiet but consequential question: whether the collective immunity that once held such diseases at bay has quietly eroded.
