Measles outbreaks spread

Measles cases are expanding in the U.S.—an outbreak that began in rural Utah is now hitting the state's urban corridor and Michigan health officials have recommended accelerated vaccination in seven counties—and a concurrent outbreak in Bangladesh has reportedly killed about 100 children. Public reporting links the U.S. spread to under‑vaccinated populations and describes overwhelmed local services in Bangladesh, a pattern that strains hospital workflows, infection‑control communication and surge planning.
