The #US has now recorded more cases of #measles in 2026 than in any other year since the virus was declared eliminated in 2000, a grim sign that the country may be headed toward a new era in which the #disease regularly [unnecessarily] sickens thousands every year. On Friday, the #CDC announced that there have been 2,318 confirmed cases of measles so far this year. The case count toppled the record set last year, when measles infected >2,200 Americans & killed 2 unvaccinated #children. #Trump

Maybe all this rain has increased mosquito populations. https://www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news/west-nile-virus-detected-in-atlantas-grant-park-as-cdc-warns-of-unusually-early-mosquito-season/ #disease #publichealth #Atlanta #Georgia
