"According to the CDC, out of every 1,000 children who are infected with measles, one may develop encephalitis, which is a dangerous swelling of the brain. Up to 3 out of every 1,000 infected children will die.

The US is on track for another record-breaking year for measles: The number of measles cases reported in the first eight weeks of the year — 1,136 as of February 26, according to CDC data — is already six times more than typical for an entire year. A tracker from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Outbreak Response Innovation has tallied an even higher the annual case total than the CDC."

Did any of those kids die? It seems like they would have led with it, if so.
