New York Times: “Utah has become a hotbed of measles cases in the United States, as a long-simmering outbreak continues to spread.”
“There have now been nearly 600 cases, mostly in children, since the outbreak began along the Utah-Arizona border last summer. Roughly one-third of those diagnosed have been so sick that they sought treatment in emergency rooms, mainly for severe dehydration caused by vomiting and diarrhea. So far, 49 people have been hospitalized.”
