California health officials are warning of potential measles exposure after a resident who traveled internationally visited several high-traffic locations in the state before the case was confirmed. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has caught several confirmed cases of measles from international travelers in recent days. In one of the cases, the traveler visited several high-traffic locations, risking potential exposure of hundreds or thousands of others before the case was caught, according to Fox News. The high-traffic locations include the Los Angeles International Airport and Disneyland. Both locations are visited by thousands of people daily who often travel from distant regions inside and outside of the United States. The infected person was in the Los Angeles airport’s B terminal around midnight on the night of January 26. The traveler was at the Disneyland hotel and the Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on January 28. Regarding another case of measles confirmed by the Los Angeles County health department, an infected person visited the Mardi Gras Tuesday restaurant on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks north of Los Angeles on January 24. Another infected person visited a Dunkin’ Donuts on Ventura in Woodland Hills on January 30. “Measles is extremely contagious and can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia, brain swelling, and even death,” Los Angeles County health officer Muntu Davis warned in a statement. “With cases rising, it is critical that everyone ensures they are protected. The MMR vaccine remains the strongest and most effective way to protect yourself, your family, and your community,” he continued. Before traveling, confirm your immunity and get the MMR vaccine if needed. It’s a simple step that makes a meaningful difference for your health and the health of those around you.” Absent protective steps, measles is a highly contagious disease that can infect the vast majority of people who come into contact with it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Some people think of measles as just a little rash and fever that clear up in a few days. But measles can cause serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5 years old,” the CDC says. “Measles is highly contagious. If one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected.” The CDC has confirmed hundreds of cases of the disease in the United States so far this year. “As of January 29, 2026, 588 confirmed measles cases were reported in the United States in 2026. Among these, 585 measles cases were reported by 17 jurisdictions: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. A total of 3 measles cases were reported among international visitors to the United States,” the agency states.

So often when terrible things happen, we want a happy ending. It can be hard to accept that this isn’t Hollywood, and real life doesn’t always have tears of joy in the face of adversity. During a recent trip to Denver, Colorado, to play hockey, the Santa Clarita Lady Flyers experienced a horrific car accident involving one of their team’s vans. A snowplow reportedly lost control and hit the van on January 29. Sadly, they lost Manny Lorenzana, the van driver and father of a team member. It was a heartbreak no one saw coming. “Our 12AA Lady Flyers were on their way to Denver, Colorado, to participate in a WGHL weekend. We ask that you keep our hockey families in your prayers and that you give them time to sort through the details of this tragic event,” Prescott Littlefield, president of the Lady Flyers, shared on Facebook. The Lady Flyers Knew What They Wanted to Do to Honor One of Their Own In addition to Manny’s death, several other parents and players suffered injuries in the accident. The girls, ages 10 to 13, had a big decision to make. The Lady Flyers decided that Manny and the others would want them to play. “We all got around in a circle and we all kind of just talked about if we should play or not, and our decision was that we should play, not for ourselves, but for Manny, who was the father, and for our girls,” said Sophia Boyle, team captain, told ABC 7. The girls not only played, but they did something incredible. They won six games and were crowned Western Girls Hockey Champions. “We had a short bench, and on the fourth game, the young girl whose father who passed away actually showed up on the bench, game four, scored about 40 seconds into the game. As the girls were cheering, she was walking onto my bench with a helmet on. And all the girls hopped over, were giving her hugs because that was the first time we saw her. And I think that just gave all the girls that inspiration to continue on,” head coach Todd Stelnick told the news station. The Lady Flyers did themselves and Manny proud. We’re sure he’s smiling down at them now. This story’s featured image can be found here

President Donald Trump lambasted CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins when she challenged him on his allies referenced in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files.Collins also questioned the president on whether the release had been fumbled by officials, after Epstein victims complained about redactions in the releases.'I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile on your face.' "On the Epstein files, you talk about Democrats who were there," she said. "Elon Musk was also in there, and so was your commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, and correspondence that he had with him."She asked him if he read the new files."I didn't. I have a lot of things that I'm doing," Trump responded. "And I don't know. You mentioned two names. I'm sure they're fine." "A lot of the women who are survivors of Epstein were unhappy with those redactions that came out," Collins continued. "Some of them, entire witness interviews are totally blacked out.""I think it's really time for the country to get on to something else, now that nothing came out about me," he responded. "But what would you say to people who feel like they haven't gotten justice, Mr. President?" she asked."You are so bad. You are the worst reporter. No wonder CNN has no ratings, because of people like you," the president said."You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile on your face," he added. "You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth, and you're a very dishonest organization, and they should be ashamed of you.""These are survivors of sexual abuse," Collins persisted.RELATED: Karoline Leavitt berates CNN's Kaitlan Collins over inflation and the economy Collins posted video of the interaction on her social media account."President Trump argues the country should move on from the Epstein files and lashes out when asked about the survivors' response to the latest release from the Justice Department," she wrote.Like Blaze News?
