Measles Isn’t Just a Kid’s Problem: Adults Now Face Real Risk

Measles is increasingly a grown-up concern: in 2026, 38% of cases are among adults and hospitalizations in adults are substantial, with Pennsylvania seeing a large share of adult cases and several adult deaths. The op‑ed urges adults to check their MMR status, since many may assume childhood immunity remains protective, and explains when a second dose or revaccination is advised, how to verify records, and steps to take if exposed or pregnant. It also notes MMR is a live vaccine available at pharmacies, and emphasizes not delaying protection due to misconceptions about age.

Adult Measles Surge Tests Vaccination Gaps and Clinical Vigilance

Measles cases in the U.S. are nearing 3,300 with a growing share among adults over 20, and adults are now hospitalized at higher rates than children in this wave. Pennsylvania data illustrate a rising adult burden and even deaths, underscoring that measles is not just a pediatric disease. Experts attribute spread to vaccine hesitancy and waning protection from older vaccines, though two MMR doses are about 97% protective. There is no antiviral treatment for measles, and adults can face serious complications such as pneumonitis and liver involvement. Clinicians should routinely assess immune status and offer boosters when appropriate, while respecting contraindications for pregnant or immunocompromised patients. Universal vaccination remains the best defense to protect vulnerable populations and curb transmission.

Fatigue is widespread in the U.S., new CDC data show

A CDC/NCHS study finds about 71.5% of U.S. adults reported fatigue on multiple days over the last three months, with roughly 1 in 6 experiencing frequent fatigue (most days or every day). Rates are highest among 18–34-year-olds and women, and American Indian/Alaska Native adults have the highest prevalence. Fatigue is linked with poorer health outcomes and functioning difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and cognitive problems, though the study doesn't identify causes. About 27,000 adults participated in 2024. Management tips include sleep hygiene, regular exercise, aromatherapy, and mindfulness; persistent fatigue should be evaluated by a clinician.

Adults Season 2 Finds Its Groove

FX’s Adults plants its feet in Season 2, leaning into a tight ensemble and more grounded humor that finally gives the show momentum after Season 1’s zeitgeist-baiting misfires; plots like Issa freezing her eggs and Paul Baker’s 'shame friends' origin deepen character arcs as the eight-episode run—shot in Toronto—arrives on Hulu on August 27.

Adults Season 2 Grows Into a Real Hangout Comedy

In its second season, the FX/Hulu comedy Adults moves from mimicking a hangout sitcom to functioning as a confident, emotionally sharper ensemble piece. The season centers on growing conflicts within the friend group—Paul Baker and Anton’s fragile marriage, Issa’s jealousy, Billie’s instability—set against the tension of wanting comfort versus facing real feelings, with a standout mid-season LSD-raccoon episode that crystallizes its exploration of adulthood, communication, and the price of staying in a perpetual ‘hangout’ narrative. The result is a tighter, funnier show that still leans on meta touches and sharp character work while acknowledging how precarious this lives-in-a-sitcom setup can be.

Low but persistent tetanus risk in the US despite vaccination gains (2009–2023)

US tetanus surveillance from 2009–2023 recorded 402 cases and 37 deaths (mean incidence 0.08 per million). Most cases occurred in adults (median age 40; 86% ≥18), with higher incidence in males; deaths declined by over 99%. The burden persists especially among unvaccinated/undervaccinated individuals, reflecting suboptimal adult tetanus vaccination coverage (Tdap/TTCV ~57–70%). The National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System monitors trends, wound management, and vaccine use to guide prevention efforts.
