DJ, So...are we already in a multi-diease pandemic ? With several diseases on epedemic level in two/more WHO global regions ? 

In the US/Canada "measles has returned". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_measles#Incidence or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_measles#Incidence 

Measles is a problem in Morooco, Romania...(among other countries). 

https://www.rivm.nl/en/measles or https://www.rivm.nl/en/measles ;NL situation; Since we started vaccinating children against measles, the disease has become much less common. There are usually 10 to 20 patients a year. Many of these have been in a country where measles is more common.  There is an epidemic about once every 10 to 15 years. When that happens, measles is most likely to spread in areas where fewer people are vaccinated. The last measles outbreak in the Netherlands was in 2013/2014. During that outbreak, more than 180 measles patients were admitted to hospital. One 17-year-old girl died of the consequences of measles. RIVM is closely monitoring the spread of measles and posting updates on the current situation on the website.
Can a person with measles go to childcare, school or work? 
No, a person with measles cannot go to children, school or work. If you suspect that your child has measles, keep the child at home and call the GP.

Update 5 February 2025
In 2025, there have been 26 cases of measles reported by Municipal Public Health Services (GGDs) in various regions of the Netherlands. Most involve patients who contracted measles in another country, and their contacts (who are often unvaccinated). There is no national outbreak of measles at this time.
In 2024, there were more than 200 reported cases of measles in the Netherlands in total. There were four larger clusters, each of which gradually subsided. This is because the majority of the Dutch population is protected against measles – either by vaccination, or because they have already had measles. 
DJ, So 26 measles cases in 2025-till february 5 update-with a "normal" of 10-20 measles cases per year in NL is "above the norm"...

Over the past two years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued Travel Health Advisories focused on measles outbreaks.
These advisories highlight where there is an active health risk when people visit the highlighted countries.
On February 21, 2025, the CDC reissued a Level 1, Practice Usual Precautions, alert for 57 countries. This CDC list does not integrate the Region of the Americas, with numerous countries reporting 537 measles outbreaks this year.
DJ, the "travel map" has measles in Europe, Africa, Asia...So with also lots of cases in North America...YES...we may be in a measles-pandemic...
