Samoan government extends state of emergency amid measles outbreak
UPI reports: "The Samoan government announced Saturday that it has extended a state
of emergency meant to contain an active measles epidemic that has
sickened 5,100 people and killed 72."
Comment: It's a tragedy when people die of an illness that is easily prevented. If governments find it difficult to get people vaccinated for diseases we have known about for generations, how will they contain new and emerging diseases?
