Talk:Epidemiology of measles

Proposed merge
Epidemiology of measles is a better name for the subpage of the epidemiology section of the measles article. It appears that Measles outbreaks in the 21st century however is better written. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:23, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Current outbreak in the Congo
It's endemic in this part of Africa and there have been outbreaks in the last few years, but there is news of an outbreak ongoing at present (http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/12/us-congodemocratic-health-idUSKCN0QH1N320150812) that probably deserves an entry. There's no mention on the WHO site that I can find. Maybe create an entry on outbreaks in about the past 5 years and include the current one?

Messy article
There's a section for outbreaks, then there's another section for outbreaks per nation. There's also almost nothing about the rather massive worldwide 2019 outbreak. The whole article should be organized differently. Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:53, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Agreed. Why give sporadic stats? For example, "In 2006–07 there were 12,132 cases in 32 European countries: 85% occurred in five countries: Germany, Italy, Romania, Switzerland and the UK. 80% occurred in children and there were 7 deaths." We could give a million different stats; why this one? Zylstra (talk) 04:54, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

I moved outbreak content, deleted decades old not notable cases and reformulated so there is a reason for this outbreak section. THE USA section needs trimming - best done by someone by looking at the linked USA article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.204.102 (talk) 02:22, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Numbers don't make sense
For example, the chart states 585,701 cases worldwide in 2005, and the second paragraph says "345,000 [deaths] in 2005". This doesn't make sense. I don't think these are the only conflicting numbers. The math just doesn't work on several numbers. Zylstra (talk) 04:51, 29 May 2019 (UTC)


 * It is probably because the cases worldwide are reported cases, so probably an understatement, whereas the deaths are estimated. Bischnu (talk) 23:45, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

usa data wrong
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_Measles_Cases_2010-2018.png does not match the figures here https://www.cdc.gov/measles/cases-outbreaks.html

also the copyrihght seems wrongly attributed - can someone fix?? REPLACE so it is right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.204.102 (talk) 01:45, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
