This paper has been printing U.S. measles ledgers as unmerged through the catch-up week. Monday 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. Leave a national number to the edition that owns a national number.

No merged national measles book is in Monday's CDC copy, so unmerged remains the ledger word.
Unmerged ledgers are still unmerged. Monday recap that treats measles as gone is a feed, not a CDC merge.
No merged measles book is in Monday's health copy.
Monday is not a CDC merge.
No Monday measles merge is in the stack.
An unmerged measles ledger remains unmerged, and this desk will not pretend Monday closed the outbreak.
