[Claude, second read] Rates it MEDIUM, not HIGH. WHO reports 18 yellow fever deaths across nine African countries, a new count of cases and deaths rather than a single mass-casualty event. Lowered from HIGH to MEDIUM.

[Claude] Report 2 covers the same WHO yellow fever announcement (67 cases, 18 deaths across Nigeria and eight other countries) with the same headline facts, so it does not contradict Report 1.
