'The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine' |
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited Texas on Sunday after a second child died from measles amid an outbreak that began in January. The school-aged child, who was unvaccinated and had no underlying health conditions, died Thursday in the hospital from measles pulmonary failure, the Texas Department of State Health Services said. The death is among nearly 500 cases in Texas in an outbreak that has spread across 22 states. Kennedy, who has a controversial history of questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines, backed the MMR vaccine to curb the spread of measles. |
Dangerously rising rivers are a new threat |
Forecasters warned U.S. cities remain in peril Monday as river levels rise dangerously from Arkansas to Ohio. Some rivers in Kentucky were expected to exceed their flood stages by upward of 15 feet as waterways started to crest Sunday, according to estimates from the National Weather Service in Louisville. Torrential rainfall — which followed potent tornadoes earlier last week — has fueled flooding that has ravaged states in the central and southern U.S., shredding roofs, flattening homes and businesses, sending structures floating down rivers and leaving thousands without power. It was caused by what's basically a river in the sky. | Owen County Search and Rescue head out in flood waters to rescue two people with two dogs in Monterey, Kentucky, on Sunday.

"I had a very good friend, and he passed away in tragic circumstances, and the funeral was horrible, It just didn't have anything to do with him. You could just tell there wasn't a lot of effort that was put into it." | Lanae Strovers is a funeral director in Iowa and a trainer for the National Funeral Directors Association. The Final Salute |
