haha...please calm down... ^-^

AirBOrne: SARS, Measles (RuBeOla), chicken pox, anthrax, TB

Rubella or German Measles -> droplet

The mnemonic device is to use the big "O" that comes after "B". And if you're easily confuse with rubella vs rubeola, just remember that GERMAN MEASLES does not have an "O".

Hope that helps! Cheers!

yeah! i knew that Rubella or German Measles is Droplet, i just remember it from measles or Rubeola which is Airborn because Rubella has 2 letter "L" and german measles has 2 words, that's how we taught in remembering. Now, i post this thread because i am asking if kaplan is refering to German Measles because they said in rationale that Measles (just one word measles) is direct contact, droplet and chickenpox also direct contact, droplet. i knew that Chickenpox is airborn, so what this book from kaplan said that chickenpox is contact and droplet?????? What happen to this kaplan book?????
