NEW: South Carolina, which doesn’t require hospitals to disclose measles-related admissions, has reported only 20 such hospitalizations since Oct. 2.
That leaves doctors with an incomplete picture of how the outbreak is affecting the community.

Bob Kennedy was/is counting on this sort of fractured state-dominated public health structure to implement his destructive policies with less notice and accountability than he and his hench-idiots deserve.
@ProPublica It's the opposite of former NYC mayor Ed Koch's mantra "what gets measured gets improved". If you don't measure it, then you can ignore the problem.

This could be determined from ICD10 codes in hospital discharge data.
This is not considered public in South Carolina (as it is — of was? — in Florida) . It would be a good test FOI case and provide a wealth of reporting.
I don't know how current this data is. There is a way to query the data online, but I am unfamiliar with it.
