Measles (麻疹) breaks out in the Northwest

    The U.S. is experiencing outbreaks of measles, a disease it had declared eliminated years ago, largely due to a drop in vaccination (接种疫苗) rates in some communities.

    An outbreak in Washington state has sickened 23 people this month, mostly children under 10. Local health officials in Clark County, declared a public-health  on Friday. They also urged residents to track  symptoms and call ahead before heading to medical centers.

    State officials announced the  of measles from the U.S. in 2000, thanks to a widespread vaccination program. But travelers entering the country with measles, as well as dropping vaccination rates in some states in recent years, has led to a rise in infection. Last year, there were a total of 17 outbreaks,  as three or more cases linked together, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New York and New Jersey  for roughly half of the 2018 cases. The Clark County outbreak began early last week with three confirmed cases and has since grown to 23 confirmed and two more . Of those cases, 20 were unvaccinated and the others are unconfirmed.

Early  include a high fever, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes, followed by tiny, white spots inside the mouth and the red, bumpy rash (疹子) that people  associate with the infection. Children younger than 5 or adults older than 20 are more likely to suffer from complications, according to the CDC.

    In order to prevent the further spread of the outbreak, local health officials are posting times and places where residents may have been exposed. They are urging residents who haven't been vaccinated to  whether they have been exposed and to take appropriate action.

Why Bike Theft Is Not Taken Seriously?

    For many people a bicycle is the only transport they can afford and it is very convenient for them to use. Therefore, the impact of the loss of their bike can be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. But why is cycle theft so often seen as a minor crime?

    According to the police, 96,210 bikes were stolen in 2018, and about one in 50 bicycle-owning households fall {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to cycle theft each year. Those who can afford a second bike might have a "beater", a cheap bike they leave in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} areas, and can afford to lose — but those who cannot make both ends meet, and live below the poverty line will find themselves cornered by bike theft.

    According to a survey for Bike Register, 50% of victims felt police didn't investigate the crime, while those {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in cycle theft see it as low risk in terms of being caught. Police recover just 3% of stolen bikes. In fact, the problem is almost certainly much greater: People often don't report it thinking there's nothing the police can do, so the full {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the problem remains hidden.

    Cycle crime hotspots were identified as Cambridge, Oxford, Southampton, Bristol, etc. Most cycle thefts occur near or in people's homes, but thieves also {#blank#}6{#/blank#} transport hubs (中心,枢纽) and university campuses. In the meantime, the police have come up with a way to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the issue. Training 23 officers in regional cycle crime taskforces is part of a national cycle crime strategy, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} with measures like education on safe locking techniques, working with websites where more than half of stolen bikes are sold, and identifying cycle theft {#blank#}9{#/blank#} and priorities.

    If a bike is stolen, there is about a 20% chance the victim will not replace it, losing their transport, exercise, and potential access to local communities and service. It is widely accepted that police's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} effort is fundamental to a drop in cycle theft.
