North Dakota is the 11th state in the U.S. with a measles outbreak, logging its first cases since 2011.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s confirmed measles case count is 935, more than triple the amount seen in all of 2024. The three-month outbreak in Texas accounts for the vast majority of cases, with 702 confirmed as of Tuesday. The outbreak has also spread to New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas.
The OP’s article.
"One in Ontario, Canada, has resulted in 1,243 cases from mid-October through April 29. "
It’s literally the 2nd sentence of the 3rd paragraph.
Additionally Canada’s Health Minister has updated the total to 1,384 as of today, May7th.
If your own Health Minister being quoted in a Canadian News Source isn’t good enough then I guess this conversation is over.
This is strange. I’m trying to find the full stats, however this says as of Nov 9 2024, Canada had a total of 130 cases. Granted this was only 6 provinces, but the 6 most populated.
The spike lately is certainly way more than I was aware of, though everything I could find about MB specifically has 20 total in 2025 so far.
Let me know when you figure it out. I’m happy to revisit.
You may be correct on MB though. I pulled that number from a news article that I can’t get into again because I exceeded my daily threshold of free ones. I’ll just concede that I’m incorrect on the case count in MB specifically, at least until I can get into the dang article again.
Oh dude, no worries. I was wrong about the totals too. There’s way more cases in Canada than I was aware of. It’s weirdly difficult to find the specifics. Actually really surprised there’s fewer than 1000 in the US overall as well.
