With its measles outbreak spreading to two additional states, Texas is on track to becoming the cause of a national epidemic if it doesn't start vaccinating more people, according to public health experts. Measles, a highly contagious disease that was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, has made a resurgence in West Texas communities, jumping hundreds of miles to the northern border of the Panhandle and East Texas, and invading bordering states of New Mexico and Oklahoma. Based on the rapid spread of cases statewide " more than 200 over 50 days " public health officials predict that it could take Texas a year to contain the spread. With cases continuously rising and the rest of the country's unvaccinated population at the outbreak's mercy, Texas must create stricter quarantine requirements, increase the vaccine rate, and improve contact tracing to address this measles epidemic before it becomes a nationwide problem, warn infectious disease experts and officials

A man was arrested and charged with assault, accused of driving his car toward a crowd of people protesting outside a Florida Tesla dealership and narrowly avoiding them, authorities said. Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said deputies went to a planned protest Saturday at a West Palm Beach dealership, where suspect Andrew Dutil drove onto the curb and slowly toward the protesters. There were no injuries. "The protestors had to move out of the way in order to avoid being struck by the vehicle," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
