Mumps cases soar to highest number in a decade
There were 5,042 recorded cases of mumps in England in 2019 – four times the number in 2018 and the highest level in a decade. Many of these cases were as a result of outbreaks in universities and colleges and most were in young adults who did not have the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) jab. A large number of the 2019 cases were people born in the late 1990s and early 2000s who missed out on the MMR vaccine when they were children. In 1998, doctor Andrew Wakefield led a study that linked the MMR vaccine to autism. His work was subsequently discredited and he was struck off, but uptake of the vaccine dropped to about 80% in the late 1990s and a low of 79% in 2003.

ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction : South Africa Vs England Best Dream 11 Team for Second T20 Match
SA Vs ENG Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11, Toss, Pitch And Match Report: Hosts step out with aspirations of wrapping up the series today.After a cliff-hanger of a series opener, the action resumes with the second T20 taking over the cricketing fraternity after just the space of a day. Given the way the first encounter unfolded, we are bound to be immersed in yet another humdinger between two worldclass units.The match contested on Wednesday was a pure thriller, a crackling contest which persistently changed hands before finally nestling South Africa’s way. England’s approach in the last two overs was baffling with the visitors ruing what should have been a relatively easy win as they failed to chase down 7 runs in the final over to see South Africa defend their 177 by the sole run. Where England will be left dejected after that display, the hosts on the other hand will be immensely buoyed by the composure they showed to seal a tie which looked to be a lost cause. They’ll be bolstered ahead of today’s forthcoming…
