Comparative Study of Measles and MEL: Understanding Contagion and Operational Exercises

This study explores the infectious disease measles, caused by a virus, characterized by symptoms such as fever, cough, and a maculopapular rash. With a highly contagious nature, 90% of non-immune individuals in close contact with an infected person become infected. Additionally, the MEL (Master Event List) is analyzed as a tool used in operations-based exercises that organizes events driving training scenarios. Understanding these elements aids in both disease prevention and effective simulation during training exercises.

  1. MEL and Measles: A Comparative Study Measles is an infection of the respiratory system caused by a virus. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a generalized, maculopapular, erythematous rash. Measles is spread through respiration (contact with fluids from an infected person's nose and mouth, either directly or through aerosol transmission), and is highly contagious—90% of people without immunity sharing living space with an infected person will catch it. A MEL is typically used in operations-based exercises and contains a chronological listing of the events that drive exercise play. The MEL links simulation to action and reflects each inject or event that will prompt players to implement the policy or procedure being validated. MEL entries that controllers must simulate are called injects.
