Pennsylvania Still Lists Two Measles Deaths

TL;DR

WGAL files Pennsylvania's two measles-associated deaths. Mifflin 57 does not change that denominator. Do not merge county cases into state deaths.

MSM Perspective

WGAL files Shapiro's two. Position 7 already named three unmerged ledgers. Monday prints two, not a merger.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a county rise as already a third state death.

Pennsylvania still listed two measles-associated deaths. [1] WGAL filed Shapiro's two against Kennedy's one. [1] Mifflin 57 does not change that denominator. Print two. Do not merge county cases into state deaths.

Do not promote 57 into a national death count. NCHS remains unprinted on the prior page. Kennedy's one and CDC's none stay unmerged. Leave a later 3,000 to Tuesday if Tuesday owns one. Print two. Print not a third.

Print two. Monday is not a merged death table. A county operating number is still not a state death. Print two as Monday's named Pennsylvania hold. Shapiro's two remain two. Print two as still not NCHS. Print the denominator as still unchanged. Print two as still the only honest Monday death word.
