DJ, US-Canada also see an increase of measles-cases...
https://nltimes.nl/2025/04/09/number-measles-cases-continues-rise-slower-rate-previous-weeks or https://nltimes.nl/2025/04/09/number-measles-cases-continues-rise-slower-rate-previous-weeks ; The number of measles cases has continued to rise, but the increase is slowing down. A total of 42 new cases were registered in the last week, compared to 51 the week before and 50 a week earlier. However, it is still too early to speak of a leveling off, according to the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). Since the beginning of the year, there have been 251 measles infections reported in throughout the country. This is more than for the whole of 2024. Last week marked the highest number of infections since 2013. The clusters in five primary schools in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Almere, and Helmond are still prevalent. According to the RIVM, these are public, islamic, and anthroposophical schools where a relatively low number of students have been vaccinated. “There are multiple clusters at primary schools and within families. Most cases involve children under 10 years old,” the RIVM said in its update. DJ, Morocco, Vietnam, Romania are also mentioned as having a high number of measles cases. A lot of cases are seen in regions with low/no vaccinations. So-still in general- lots of clusters...with Texas-US very likely most close to a more general outbreak. As far as I know vaccines/natural immunity still offers a decent/good job in protection against measles. There may be very limited spread in vaccinated groups. Part of the vaccinated may have been infected prior to vaccination (???). https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/emerging-diseases-other-health-threats-alphabetical-a-thru-h/childhood-diseases/measles/1005193-ontario-canada-2025-measles-661-cases-since-october or https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/emerging-diseases-other-health-threats-alphabetical-a-thru-h/childhood-diseases/measles/1005193-ontario-canada-2025-measles-661-cases-since-october ; Source: https://www.stratfordtoday.ca/local-...sures-10500957 Huron Perth Public Health warns of additional measles exposures Someone who has measles can be contagious from four days before the rash starts until four days after the rash starts StratfordToday Staff about an hour ago DJ, vaccinations could stop more of the spread.
