... In Texas, where an outbreak has been spreading in the western part of the state, at least 646 cases have been confirmed as of Friday, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. Dr. Marschall Runge, dean of the University of Michigan Medical School and CEO of Michigan Medicine, said the number of cases -- at the national level and in Texas -- is likely an undercount. "I think it's likely that there are a lot of unreported cases in children who weren't particularly sick or didn't come to medical attention," he told ABC News. ...

US at tipping point for return of endemic measles

That would be quite an achievement for MAGA's paste-eaters.

The first thing I expect is for MAGA to assert that this is not an epidemic.

With over 900 US measles cases so far this year, things are looking bleak arstechnica.com
... US hasn't seen this many cases this early in a year since the 1990s before we hit "elimination." As of Friday, April 25, the US has confirmed over 900 measles cases since the start of the year. The cases are across 29 states, but most are in or near Texas, where a massive outbreak continues to mushroom in close-knit, undervaccinated communities. On April 24, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had tallied 884 cases across the country. Today, the Texas health department updated its outbreak total, adding 22 cases to its last count from Tuesday. That brings the national total to at least 906 confirmed cases. Most of the cases are in unvaccinated children and teens. ...

Willing to bet that,'patient zero' of this outbreak would turn out to be from and illegal entering under biden' open boarder.

Patient zero is a paste-eating, anti-vax MAGAt.

I'd take that bet. Because it's just more Qanon/maga agitprop.
First there is no such thing as "open borders". So there is that.
Second Trumpy would have already released the name of patient zero if it fit your narrative so you could properly harass them. Or just black bag them and deport them.
While the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has reported on the outbreak, including two fatalities in school-aged children, they have not named the specific individual who initially contracted the virus. The DSHS does note that the deaths were in unvaccinated children with no known underlying conditions.
So they know who patient zero is. They are just not sharing. Get on it maga maroons!! Transparency is not about trans!
While you are at see if you can get those "Epstein files" that "they" won't release either.

^ Racist attitude.
Blaming disease on immigrants is literally what the Nazis did.
Ever notice how only Republicans blame disease on immigrants?

I imagine that we are in great danger of another pandemic, probably Bird Flu, since the Trump idiocy has taken away so many researchers and research.
