Also from the article. Interesting. We are under 500 cases, but with 2 infant, maybe 1 adult death.
As of Friday, the Texas Department of State Health Services said 481 cases of measles had been confirmed, a 14% jump over last week.
That includes six infants and toddlers at a Lubbock day care center who tested positive within the past two weeks.
Two of those children are among 56 people who’ve been hospitalized with measles in the area since the disease started spreading in late January, health officials said.
Around 1 to 3 out of every 1,000 children infected with measles die from respiratory and neurological complications, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And about 1 out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children.
