Monkeypox virus cases are on the rise across the country.

The Biden administration is declaring the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency in the U.S.  White House COVID Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha, who is also helping on this front, says the decision gives the government more readily available options to fight the infectious disease. The first confirmed case of monkeypox virus in the U.S. came on May 18.

During a briefing Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the virus is spreading rapidly.  She insisted the administration is working aggressively to end the outbreak as soon as possible, including the rapid dispersal of monkeypox vaccines.

Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House COVID response coordinator, says that could happen if the U.S. doesn’t get the virus under control with testing and vaccines.

As of today, New York is the epicenter of America’s outbreak with more than 1000 cases. The virus is spread through physical contact. They recommend to wash clothes and fabrics that you purchase before wearing.

PETA named the Most Beautiful Vegan Celebrities of 2022, and this year’s winners are Latin singer Anitta and  Lenny Kravitz. 

Brazilian superstar Anitta, who went vegan after watching the documentary Cowspiracy, is so committed to promoting plant-powered meals that when she’s not headlining at Coachella, she’s the face of an international vegan meat brand based in her home country. 

As she says, “Who has tasted plant meat? It’s like me: innovative, super hot, and good for the environment!”

“With more than 65 million followers between them, Kravitz and Anitta are global superstars who are inspiring countless people to go their way and let love rule by keeping animals off their plates,” says PETA Senior Vice President of Communications Lisa Lange. 

Kravitz, who maintains lush gardens full of healthy fruits and vegetables at his homes in Brazil and the Bahamas, credits vegan eating with helping him maintain his rock-star physique—as the “Fly Away” singer puts it, going vegan is “the right thing for yourself and for the planet and animals.”
