WHO: Four European countries lose measles-eliminated status - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Four European countries previously declared to have eliminated measles
have lost their coveted status as the highly contagious disease surges
within their borders, a branch of the World Health Organization said.
Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and Britain all lost their
measles-eliminated status for the first time since the verification
process began in 2012, said the European Regional Verification
Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination."
Comment: The world is going backwards in treating diseases previously eliminated. What does that suggest about the ability to treat new and emerging diseases?
