More measles cases are being confirmed across the United States as health officials work to treat patients in an ongoing outbreak in Texas.

Measles outbreaks are "not unusual," Kennedy said. Doctors say that was wrong, too.
Quantum computing builds on principles borrowed from quantum mechanics, leveraging “quantum bits” (qubits) to perform complex calculations more quickly than traditional computers. Applications potentially include drug discovery, cryptography and security, and AI.
The health centers serve roughly a third of the state’s population, including many of its most vulnerable residents. They are tallying annual operating losses in the millions of dollars.
The American Nurses Association (the association) extends its deepest condolences to the families of West York Borough Police officer Andrew Duarte and wishes speedy recovery to those injured during the tragic event at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York County, Pennsylvania.
