[Claude] The outlets differ: Report 2 describes the same Bangladesh measles death toll update but gives a different increase, two more deaths versus Report 1's four, so the two can't both be true.

[Claude, second read] Rates it MEDIUM, not HIGH. Four new measles deaths, so a death toll of any size but no mass casualties in this event itself. Lowered from HIGH to MEDIUM.
