Quick Glance: CDC warns of looming measles outbreak in the US
  • A report from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates a significant decline in measles immunization since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a record high of almost 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.

  • With the increase in cases that could jeopardize the virus's eliminated status in the U.S., the CDC is calling for measures to boost measles immunization.

  • So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.

  • Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.

WARNING: Even Light Smoking Affects Respiratory Health
Quick Glance: Caution: Even Minimal Smoking Impacts Respiratory Health
  • Even individuals who smoke only occasionally a few cigarettes a day face an elevated risk of developing life-threatening chronic lung conditions like emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

  • Inhaling chemicals may indeed pose harm to the lungs, right? However, keep in mind that lighting a cigarette and inhaling releases numerous toxic substances.

  • Smoking can lead to respiratory irritations and lung damage that accumulate over time, resulting in noticeable changes in breathing and lung health.

  • For those concerned about developing chronic lung disease due to smoking, quitting is the optimal solution. Research actually indicates that heavy smokers who quit have a lower lung disease risk than current light smokers.
