This paper has been printing U.S. measles ledgers as unmerged through the catch-up week. [1] Saturday has no merged CDC book in fetched copy. Unmerged is not gone. A quiet health desk is not a closed outbreak. Print unmerged. Do not print cleared. No merged national measles book is in Saturday's CDC copy. This edition will not invent a merge to fill a quiet Saturday.

Saturday recap that treats measles as gone is a feed, not a CDC merge.
Print unmerged. Saturday is not a CDC merge.
Unmerged measles ledgers remain unmerged on this desk.
Saturday is not a closed outbreak.
The ledger still does not merge on this desk.

Unmerged remains the only honest ledger word.
A quiet CDC is not a clearance.
