further evidence we are near the end times:
In 2000, World Health Organization officials estimated that 757,000 people - nearly all of them children under age five - died from measles. In 2006, that figure dropped by more than half, to 242,000 deaths. In Africa, the decrease was even more dramatic: from 396,000 measles deaths in 2000 to 36,000 in 2006.
"This major public health achievement is a result of the hard work of African governments to fully implement the measles reduction strategy," Dr. Luis Sambo, WHO's regional director from Africa, told reporters in a conference call from Brazzaville, Republic of Congo.
Something is working. That means we're extra-doomed.
