    So, measles on a global scale, not in western countries who have good health systems, has a mortality rate of 15% (including common complications from measles). And it is about 9x more contagious than ebola and air transferred (based off R0 above).

    So, based on projections like above, the 3rd world should be decimated beyond believe. Yet there are only approx. 200,000-250,000 deaths globally from measles.
