00:00Pennsylvania just confirmed its fourth measles death of the year, and the national case count keeps climbing fast.
00:05An 18-year-old resident died of a rare brain complication from measles, just days after a 40-year-old
00:12unvaccinated woman died from the disease in Jefferson County.
00:16Nationally, U.S. measles cases have climbed to 3,471 as of September 17, a 5.4% jump in
00:23one week.
00:24Pennsylvania alone is now reporting 731 cases across 38 counties.
00:30An increase of more than 300 since late August.
00:32Here's what's raising more concern.
00:34The CDC has quietly changed how it gathers death data.
00:38Now, relying on a slower system that officials warn could mean future deaths, simply stop showing up on the public
00:45tracker.
00:45Experts say that makes the true toll harder to see in real time.
