Big and bad update out of South Carolina. The Measles outbreak there is continuing to accelerate out of control. 124 new Measles cases were reported today, with the outbreak total now at 434 Measles cases. Hopefully something is done soon, or the US at this past will easily blow past last year's Measles case count. Note, some of the these cases in this outbreak are from last year as that is when the outbreak started. We will likely get a new Measles count update from the US on Wednesday.
