The U.S. has retained its measles-elimination status, despite a nearly yearlong outbreak in New York state that put that designation at risk, the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed
By Betsy McKay Updated Oct. 4, 2019 12:15 pm ET Friday.
The U.S. technically would have lost its measles-elimination status if cases of domestic transmission had persisted for more than a year after New York’s outbreak began. The CDC will meet with a Pan American Health Organization commission within the coming months to verify the U.S. measles-elimination status, HHS said.
The measles-elimination designation is still at risk. Thousands of U.S. schools don’t have vaccination rates high enough to prevent a measles outbreak.

Woman Holds Off Buying Herself New Headphones So Boyfriend Can Surprise Her With Shittier Version For Her BirthdayST. LOUIS—Removing the item from her Amazon shopping cart, local server Melanie Avila confirmed Thursday that she was holding off on buying herself new headphones so her boyfriend can surprise her with a shittier pair for her birthday. “I have my eye on these really nice Bose noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones, but I figure I can hold out a few more weeks and let James gift me some cheapo imitation bullshit instead,” said Avila, 34, noting her plan is to immediately return the knockoffs and use the credit to buy what she really wants or simply wait for the cut-rate electronics to break so she can replace them. “I’ve been dropping hints like, ‘I really want these specific headphones,’ and, ‘Here’s a link to the headphones I like,’ but I know he’ll manage to find some off-brand wired earbuds with zero features at a mall kiosk. When I tear open the wrapping paper and discover he got me some junky JVC or Skullcandy garbage, I’ll tell him how much I love them and that they’re exactly what I wanted. Honestly, the best present of all would be if he remembers to get a gift receipt.” At press time, Avila was secretly delighted to inform her boyfriend that the fake AirPods came out of the box already busted.
