Turkish Airlines passenger from Denver is 7th measles case tied to DIA outbreak

A Denver resident is the seventh Coloradan to get measles from a passenger on a Turkish Airlines flight last month — and they may have passed the highly contagious virus on to people at three stores along the Front Range.
The new patient is among four people who flew on Turkish Airlines flight 201, which landed at Denver International Airport on May 13, who have since tested positive for measles.
Three additional people who passed through DIA at the same time as the initially infected person — an out-of-state traveler — or shortly thereafter have also contracted the disease.
The measles virus can linger in the air for about two hours.
The new Denver patient was a vaccinated adult who is recovering at home, according to the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment. Two doses of the measles vaccine are about 97% effective in preventing infection.
The public should watch for measles symptoms if they visited the following locations:
—Trader Joe's, 661 Logan St., Denver, between 9:30 and 11:40 a.m. May 29. Symptoms could appear through June 19.
—King Soopers, 1520 Main St., Windsor, between 10:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. Friday. Symptoms could appear through June 20.
—Target, 4301 E. Virginia Ave., Glendale, between 9:20 and 11:50 p.m. Monday. Symptoms could appear through June 23.
An El Paso County resident who visited the airport also tested positive in the last week. That person visited Single Barrel Bar and Grill, 5885 Stetson Hills Blvd. in Colorado Springs, possibly exposing people who were there between 6 and 11:30 p.m. Friday.
Symptoms can take anywhere from one to three weeks to develop. Unvaccinated people can reduce their risk of infection if they get the shot within 72 hours.
Initial symptoms of measles include a fever, runny nose, red eyes and cough. A red rash develops about four days after someone becomes contagious. If someone who was at an exposure site develops symptoms, they should call ahead before seeking medical care, so their provider can protect other patients from infection.
The state has confirmed 12 measles cases this year.
In a typical year, Colorado has two or fewer, usually involving people who got the virus while traveling overseas, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends that anyone going abroad who isn't already vaccinated get the shot before departing.

Colorado confirms 14 cases of measles across the state

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has confirmed 14 cases of measles across the state. The majority of those are linked to an out-of-state traveler who flew while infectious and arrived at Denver International Airport last month. The latest case is linked to the out-of-state traveler who was exposed at the airport on May 13. That person is described as an unvaccinated adult from Arapahoe County. Illustration of the measles morbillivirus. RUSLANAS BARANAUSKAS/SCIENCE PHO The thirteenth case was reported to the CDPHE on June 9 as a child under the age of 5 from El Paso County and had traveled to Canada with family. The CDPHE said 2025 marks the highest increase and confirmation of reported measles cases in Colorado since 2014. Officials said that the best protection is the measles, mumps, and rubella or MMR vaccine. They added that, in rare cases, people who have been vaccinated can still contract the measles, but their symptoms are milder and they are less likely to spread it to others. Anyone experiencing symptoms is encouraged to call their healthcare provider or hospital before visiting to avoid exposing others.

How One Big Stock is Dragging Down the Dow in 2025

It's been a sluggish year for the Dow Jones Industrial Average compared to the broader market. As of early June, the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA) is up just over 1%, trailing the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), which has gained nearly 3%. The reason for the underperformance is, in large part, a single stock. UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) has shaved roughly three percentage points off the Dow's year-to-date return. No other stock in the 30-member index has contributed more than 0.9 percentage points in either direction. Shares of UnitedHealth have been pummeled in 2025, falling more than 40% year to date due to concerns around Medicare Advantage margins and regulatory pressures—issues we've covered in depth previously. That sharp decline has been especially painful for the Dow, a price-weighted index. Unlike the market-cap-weighted S&P 500, the Dow gives more influence to companies with higher share prices. At the start of the year, UnitedHealth was trading around $500 per share, making it the second-largest holding in DIA with nearly an 8% weight. Now, with the stock hovering closer to $300, its weight has declined but remains substantial at about 4.4%, making it the ETF's eighth-largest position. The drop illustrates how the Dow's price-weighting methodology can amplify the impact of high-priced stocks, for better or worse. Still, the damage is surprisingly contained. Despite the collapse of one of its biggest components, DIA is lagging VOO by only about two percentage points. That speaks to the index's sector diversification and the resilience of its blue-chip constituents. For all its quirks—including a relatively small roster of 30 stocks and price-based weighting—the Dow remains an interesting gauge of large-cap U.S. companies. This year's performance is a reminder that even in a concentrated portfolio, diversification across industries and solid fundamentals can help soften the blow from an individual stock | © Copyright 2025 All rights reserved Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
