In good news, the CDC reports a 91% drop in flu infections this year[1]. Since people are sheltering in place and not going to school, there will probably be a lot less measles transmission too. One way to not get measles besides getting the vaccine is for kids to not leave the house and not have friends over, which is the norm in 2020. The 200,000 number of measles deaths referenced in the article was from 2019, before the pandemic.
