STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED IN WASHINGTON

A state of emergency has been declared in Washington due to an outbreak of measles.

Gov. Jay Inslee issued the proclamation which directs state agencies and departments to

utilize state resources and do everything reasonably possible to assist affected areas.

A proclamation is also necessary to utilize the Emergency Management Assistance Compact

to request additional medical resources from other states.

As of yesterday, over 50 cases of measles have been reported and there's no end in

sight.

"Measles is a highly contagious infectious disease that can be fatal in small children,"

Inslee stated in his proclamation.

Measles virus can remain in the air for up to two hours after someone infectious with

measles leaves the area.

Measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that causes fever, rash, cough,

and red, watery eyes.

It mainly spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes.

Measles symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure.

Measles is contagious from approximately four days before the rash appears through four

days after the rash appears.

People can spread measles before they have the characteristic measles rash.

Measles complications can include ear infections, diarrhea, pneumonia, vision loss, encephalitis

(brain inflammation) and ultimately can be fatal.

Complications from measles can happen even in healthy people but those at highest risk

include: infants and children under 5 years, adults over 20 years, pregnant women, and

people with weakened immune systems from drugs or underlying disease.

The World Health Organization in November warned that measles cases worldwide had jumped

more than 30 percent in 2017 compared to the previous year, in part because of children

not being vaccinated.

The disease was declared eliminated in the US in 2000 but has since made a comeback that

is tied to imported cases and the rise of the anti-vaccine movement.

It Was a Busy Day in Washington. Heres a Guide The New York Times

Republicans, like Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said Mr. Barr will add steady leadership to a Justice Department roiled by Jeff Sessionss departure in November. Mr. Barr said he would not be swayed by politics, but he did not promise to publicize the special counsels findings, upsetting Democrats.
