    The New Mexico health department reported 30 measles cases in the state on Friday, an increase of 20 cases from its previous count.

    I don’t think that means the “30 Measles cases a day” that the headline is showing. More “We’re up to 30 cases in the state, 20 more than the last time I let you know.” As of yesterday, there are only (<-what a time to be alive) 222 cases in the country.

      The headline means, “one day after the second US measles death in a decade, New Mexico reports 30 cases of the measles”.
