For the third straight season, the fourth time in the past five seasons and the 14th time in 32 seasons ... Cleveland has won the AL Central title. The Guardians get a first-round bye and will host Game 1 of the ALDS next Saturday at Progressive Field.

💚💚 We support our state & local health departments 💚💚 This was CDC’s original post—& how CDC should communicate that support. Then it was deleted & 🧠🪱 + our new CDC director (🤬) turned public health into a political fight with PA DOH. MMR vaccines save lives. So do health departments.
Original tweet from CDC.

“HHS and CDC extend their condolences to the families and communities affected by two measles-associated deaths in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. CDC is working closely with state and local health departments to strengthen response efforts, rapidly support affected communities across the state, and communicate the steps people can take to slow the spread of measles.  The MMR vaccine provides the most effective protection against measles and helps prevent its spread. CDC will continue to follow Pennsylvania's lead and provide resources to support the state's response."
