Get the Well Enough newsletter with Harry Bullmore for tips on living a healthier, happier and longer life Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore With baby Arthur too young for the measles vaccine and a sibling due in June, the Otwells grew nervous when the threat of the highly contagious virus started affecting their grocery run. “We go to the Costco that was kind of a hotbed,” said John Otwell after his state health department’s warnings of public exposures at the store. “A lot of people just don’t get it; they think it’s just a cold. It’s not.” By Arthur’s 9-month checkup, the South Carolina outbreak had exploded into the nation’s worst in more than 35 years, surpassing last year’s in Texas. That meant that under state guidance, Arthur could get his first dose of the MMR vaccine — for measles, mumps and rubella — earlier than the usual 12 to 15 months old.

Donald Trump’s plan for a ground operation in Iran will make US troops “sitting ducks”, according to the BBC’s chief international correspondent. The US president claims he is considering seizing Iran’s major fuel hub of Kharg Island as his war against Tehran escalates – though he insists a peace deal could still be made. Meanwhile US officials say troops are preparing for a possible ground operation, and Iran has threatened to “rain fire upon” American soldiers who approach. But the BBC’s Lyse Doucet has warned that sending troops into Kharg Island will make them incredibly vulnerable to Iranian attacks. The specialist said this would be a “major and risky” operation with as many as 50,000 troops potentially facing fire from Iranian artillery and fast boats. “And then what?” She told BBC Radio 4′s Today programme. “They’re sitting ducks. How do you control the island, how do you hold it, how do you resupply it?” Doucet added: “There are hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who are hoping that is what President Trump is going to do. …

They still see his face. It’s on the front of their daughter’s nursery school folder. It should be a catalogue of happy memories of their little girl’s early years. But her “key person” at the nursery, the carer they trusted, was serial sex offender Vincent Chan. “He wrote the words for a large chunk of what is inside (the folder),” the girl’s mother said. “It just demonstrates how much is tainted by what he’s done.” Chan was sentenced to a minimum of 18 years. He pleaded guilty to 56 sexual offences – including more than 30 against children – and is one of the UK’s worst sex offenders. He abused the trust placed in him both in a pre-school nursery and, before that, at a primary school. One thousand two hundred families have been alerted by the police and told that their children may have been in contact with the serial offender at either the school or the nursery.

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore has decided to return to the Ducks next season rather than declare for the NFL draft. Moore, 20, announced his decision on Wednesday on ESPN. “When it comes to me just making my decision, of course I want to feel most prepared and do what’s best for my situation, especially as a quarterback,” he said. “And with my decision, it’s been very tough. I prayed a lot about it, talked to many people, my mentors, and people I just look up to, and with that being said, of course I’ll be coming back to Oregon for one more year, being able to play for the Oregon Ducks and reach our goal and be national champions.” This season, Moore completed nearly 72% of his throws for 3, 565 yards, with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Oregon finished 13-2. Moore had been forecast to be the second quarterback selected in the NFL draft, behind Indiana quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza. The Ducks were coming off a 56-22 loss to Indiana in …

Earlier this month, videos showing Chase, 36 — who played Martin Qwerly in Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide — homeless on the streets of Riverside, California, went viral on social media. On Monday, influencer Jake Harris, who has been documenting his attempts to help Chase on Instagram, said the actor was in a “36-hour medical hold,” during which time they were able to get him “clean, detoxed, physically clean.” Harris, the owner of Riverside’s Shipwreck Barbershop, said he had been working with Chase’s family to find a rehabilitation coach to work with the actor; however, “he was not, at the time, willing to accept help from the rehabilitation coach, although he was very receptive toward …
