US Measles Outbreaks Are The New Normal, Experts Say
A sign warns people of measles in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
All of the new US outbreaks originally derived from infections transmitted by travellers — either visitors from overseas, or US residents who went abroad. “Every case we have now is associated with travel,” CDC viral diseases division deputy director Thomas Clark told BuzzFeed News. And with measles cases now surging outside of the US, too — seeing athis year compared to last — we are likely to see more cases here, public health experts say.
On Monday, the World Health Organization reported that 170 countries have confirmed more than 112,000 cases so far in 2019. That’s probably an underestimate, as only about 1 in 10 actual cases is reported to the WHO. Severe outbreaks in countries such as, the Philippines, and Ukraine, among others, are, “causing many deaths – mostly among young children,” according to the health agency.
