Possible measles case in Eaton Co., potential public exposure
If you visited the locations below during the listed times, you may have been exposed to measles:
Saturday, April 12 – King Ocean Crab restaurant on Miller St. in Lansing, MI from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m
Sunday, April 13 – Bad Brads BBQ on S. Baldwin Rd. in Orion Township, MI from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Test results are still pending, but the Barry-Eaton District Health Department is urging the public to be cautious.
'We are acting out of an abundance of caution to notify the public as quickly as possible,' said Dr. Julie Kehdi, Medical Director at BEDHD. 'Measles spreads easily and can have serious health consequences, especially for children and people with weakened immune systems. We encourage anyone who may have been exposed to take action right away and check their vaccination status.'
Measles is a highly infectious disease spread through the air and via direct person-to-person contact. Infected individuals can spread the disease before noticing symptoms, and the disease can linger in the air long after an infected person leaves the area.
If you have potentially been exposed to measles, officials say you should monitor yourself for symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, or rash for 21 days from the date of exposure. If you exhibit symptoms, call your local health department. Go to the emergency room if your symptoms are severe, and if you must seek care in person, call ahead to avoid potentially exposing others.
If it has been less than six days since your potential exposure, you may be able to receive post-exposure treatment that could prevent illness, and you should contact your health care provider, pharmacy, or local health department for guidance.

Use gentle, predictable wake-ups. Velez says, it's a great way to start the day from your child's perspective.

US plans to incinerate $9.7M in USAID contraceptives
The Trump administration plans to incinerate more than $9.7 million worth of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded contraceptives that have been lying in a warehouse in Belgium since President Trump's order freezing foreign aid and shutting down USAID. The U.S. government is spending more than $160,000 to burn the mix of birth control pills, shots, implants, and IUDs at a facility in France that destroys medical waste, according to The New York Times. A spokesperson for the Department of State did not immediately respond to questions from The Hill on when the incineration will take place. State in a statement confirmed to the Times that there was a plan to incinerate the products. State also said the products to be incinerated were 'aborifacient,' meaning they induce abortions. But the Times reported that none of the supplies registered for storage in the Belgian warehouse fit that description, and USAID under the law isn't allowed to purchase products that induce abortions. European governments and activist groups have decried the decision. The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), a nonprofit, estimates incinerating contraceptives will leave 1.4 million women and girls across Africa with access to life-saving care. For the past nine years, USAID has spent $607.5 million on global family planning and reproductive programs, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Those funds have helped operate family planning and reproductive health programs in more than 30 countries. France is currently under pressure to stop the impending destruction of the stockpile from French reproductive rights groups and family planning organizations, although officials said earlier this month they cannot legally seize the contraceptives. IPPF estimates that 77 percent of the supplies are earmarked for five African countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Mali, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DNC). More than 40 percent of the soon-to-be destroyed supplies were meant for Tanzania alone, according to the nonprofit. IPPF wrote in a statement the supplies are being 'needlessly and egregiously' destroyed and that many of the contraceptives will not expire until 2027 at the earliest and 2029 at the latest. 'This decision to destroy ready-to-use commodities is appalling and extremely wasteful,' said Marie-Evelyne Petrus-Barry, Africa regional director of IPPF. 'These life-saving medical supplies were destined to countries where access to reproductive care is already limited, and in some cases, part of a broader humanitarian response, such as in the DRC.' Destroying the contraceptive supplies will result in 362,000 unintended pregnancies which can force some to seek out unsafe abortions, and will cause 161,000 unplanned births, according to the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition (RHSC). IPPF estimates that once the contraceptives are destroyed, Tanzania will have more than 1 million fewer injectable contraceptives and 365,100 fewer implants to distribute—or about 28 percent of the country's total annual need. Mali will experience a shortage of more than 1,100,000 oral contraceptives and 95,800 implants or roughly 24 percent of the country's annual need. Zambia will have 48,400 fewer implants and 295,000 injectable contraceptives to distribute to women. In Kenya, nearly 14 percent of the country's annual contraceptive need will not be met, and more than 100,000 women will not be able to access contraceptive implants this year.
