WHO | New measles surveillance data for 2019

https://www.who.int/immunization/newsroom/measles-data-2019/en/

Measles is one of the world's most contagious diseases, with the potential to be extremely severe. In 2017, the most recent year for which estimates are available, it caused close to 110 000 deaths. Even in high-income countries, complications result in hospitalization in up to a quarter of cases, and can lead to lifelong disability, from brain damage and blindness to hearing loss. 

The disease is almost entirely preventable through two doses of a safe and effective vaccine.

This Fungus Mutates. That’s Good News if You Like Cheese. - The New York Times

"We've been producing cheese for thousands of years and alcohol for tens of thousands," Dr. Gibbons said. "Now we have a window into history in terms of what early humans wanted out of microbes."

Nicolae Ceaușescu - Wikipedia

He also blamed the Timișoara riots on "fascist agitators who want to destroy socialism."^[35]

However, Ceaușescu had misjudged the crowd's mood. Roughly eight minutes into his speech, several people began jeering and booing, and others began chanting "Timișoara!" He tried to silence them by raising his right hand and calling for the crowd's attention before order was temporarily restored, then proceeded to announce social benefit reforms that included raising the national minimum wage by 200 lei per month to a total of 2,200 per month by January 1. Images of Ceaușescu's facial expression as the crowd began to boo and heckle him were among the most widely broadcast of the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe.^[13]
