There have been 900 cases of measles, and ten states are dealing with outbreaks.
how quickly the disease, which was declared eradicated in the United States in 2000, is returning. Even more troubling, active outbreaks have been confirmed in at least 10 states, raising public health concerns and prompting renewed discussions around vaccination rates and preventive measures. Measles: A Highly Contagious Disease Measles is one of the most contagious viruses known to humanity. It spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can remain airborne for up to two hours in an enclosed space, making it incredibly easy to transmit, especially among unvaccinated populations. High fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and the distinctive red rash that spreads throughout the body are typical symptoms that appear between 10 and 14 days after exposure. Despite the fact that measles may appear to be a common childhood illness, it can result in serious complications, particularly in young children, pregnant women, and people whose immune systems are compromised. Complications include pneumonia, encephalitis (swelling of the brain), permanent hearing loss, and even death. Where Are the Outbreaks Happening? As of April 2025, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed outbreaks in at least 10 states, including:California New York Florida Texas Ohio Illinois Arizona Pennsylvania Georgia Washington Each of these states has reported clusters of cases, often originating in communities with lower vaccination rates. In some areas, outbreaks began after travellers brought the virus back from countries currently experiencing large-scale measles epidemics. Why Is Measles Making a Comeback? The resurgence of measles in the U.S. is largely tied to declining vaccination rates. According to CDC data, MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccination rates have dropped in recent years, partly due to vaccine hesitancy fueled by misinformation about vaccine safety. Despite overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of the MMR vaccine, scepticism persists among certain groups. COVID-19 also played an indirect role. During the pandemic, routine childhood vaccination rates fell, as healthcare systems were overwhelmed and many families delayed well-child visits. Public health experts are now seeing the long-term effects of those disruptions. International travel is another significant factor. Measles remains endemic in parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. Unvaccinated travellers can easily bring the virus back to the U.S., where it can quickly spread in vulnerable communities. How Is the Government Responding? The outbreaks are under control through collaboration between state and federal health agencies. Measures include: Free vaccination clinics Public education campaigns Quarantine orders for exposed, unvaccinated individuals Contact tracing efforts Temporary school exclusions for unvaccinated children In some jurisdictions, health departments are issuing emergency orders to increase vaccination coverage rapidly. In New York City, for example, officials have mandated proof of vaccination in certain neighbourhoods where outbreaks are particularly severe. The CDC continues to recommend that all children receive two doses of the MMR vaccine: the first dose at 12-15 months of age and the second at 4-6 years. Adults who are unsure of their vaccination status are urged to consult their healthcare providers. The Value of Getting Vaccinated Experts emphasise that vaccination is the best defence against measles. The MMR vaccine is about 97% effective after two doses. High vaccination rates — ideally around 95% — create "herd immunity", protecting those who cannot be vaccinated, such as infants and people with certain medical conditions. Without sufficient herd immunity, highly contagious diseases like measles can spread rapidly, leading to larger outbreaks and increased healthcare burdens. In 2019, the U.S. came dangerously close to losing its measles elimination status due to a major outbreak. The current situation has reignited fears that history could repeat itself. What You Can Do Health authorities encourage everyone to check their vaccination records and get up to date if necessary. Travellers heading abroad should ensure they are fully vaccinated at least two weeks before departure. Parents are urged to vaccinate their children on schedule and consult with paediatricians if they have any concerns. Officials in public health emphasise the significance of collective action. Combating vaccine misinformation, supporting public health initiatives, and making informed choices are key steps in preventing future outbreaks. The current measles situation is a stark reminder that infectious diseases remain a persistent threat — one that demands vigilance, trust in science, and a strong commitment to community health.

The stress of the swimwear test
With the arrival of the warmer season, millions of people, especially women, begin to experience what is known as "swimwear test stress." This psychological phenomenon is most felt after holidays like Easter, when rich and abundant foods have been consumed more freely, and our bodies may sometimes fail to match the image we had of them before the holidays. The "swimwear test" is not merely a superficial experience tied to a piece of clothing; it is a true rite of passage that marks an encounter between our self-perception and the reflection returned to us by the mirror. The body, which is often the first vehicle with which we present ourselves to the world, becomes an object of judgment and criticism, not only from external people but also from ourselves.
