This paper has been printing U.S. measles ledgers as unmerged through the catch-up week. Sunday 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 Sunday's CDC copy. The paper revisits this story when a named merge exists.

Sunday recap that treats measles as gone is a feed, not a CDC merge.
No Monday measles merge is in Sunday's stack either — unmerged remains the ledger word.
Print unmerged. Sunday is not a CDC merge.
Unmerged measles ledgers remain unmerged on this desk.
Sunday is not a closed outbreak.
The ledger still does not merge on this desk.
Outbreak ledgers diverge because counties count cases while states certify deaths. Mifflin's 57 and Pennsylvania's two describe different things. Sunday prints both without merging.

Counties count fast; states certify slow. Sunday's gap is timing, not error. Merging waits on coroners.

Waiting coroners wait; Sunday waits. Mifflin 57 and Pennsylvania's two stay unmerged. Timing is the gap.

Counties count fast; states certify slow. Mifflin 57 and Pennsylvania's two describe different things. Sunday prints both without merging.

National measles numbers still have not been combined on Sunday. County case counts and certified deaths stay in separate columns. Mifflin cases and Pennsylvania deaths are different events, printed apart. Cleared is not a word this copy has.
Mifflin cases and Pennsylvania deaths stay printed apart. Sunday prints both without merging. National numbers stay uncombined.

Sunday prints both without merging. National numbers stay uncombined. Sunday prints both ledgers without merging them.
