As of the latest CDC update on March 28, 2024, the U.S. has recorded 102 confirmed measles cases across 16 jurisdictions, with 94 cases (92%) tied to seven outbreaks—the largest in Chicago's migrant shelters (57 cases), followed by clusters in Florida (now declared over), California, and elsewhere. Driven by imported cases amid low vaccination rates in affected communities, measles' high transmissibility (R0 of 12–18) fuels rapid spread in unvaccinated groups. No major developments in the past 48 hours, but ongoing surveillance captures exposures with 7–21 day incubation periods. Traders should watch the CDC's next weekly report (expected early April) for the final March 31 tally, as new confirmations could emerge from recent tests. Historical baselines show annual U.S. totals averaging under 100 post-elimination in 2000, underscoring this year's elevated risk.
