    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”.

      Tbh it doesn’t feel satisfying to think about with children being involved. At least they won’t have time to become woke because unlike real life threatening diseases that’s obviously bad.
