U.S. reports no new mpox cases for first time since outbreak began
Published Sun, 19 May 2024 10:13:02 GMT
For the first time since the first American cases were reported last year, the United States has tallied no new cases of mpox for more than a week, according to figures published Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The milestone comes after cases of mpox, formerly called monkeypox, had begun to slow last year off a summer peak of nearly 500 infections daily around the country.It is unclear how many weeks of no new cases are needed until the outbreak can be declared officially over in the U.S. The Biden administration moved late last year to end the public health emergency it had declared for mpox, when cases were averaging 16 per day.A CDC spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.Mpox resulted in painful, weeks-long lesions for most people who were infected by the virus. More than 30,000 cases and 42 deaths from mpox have been recorded by the CDC since the outbreak began in May 2022.Mpox cases have largely been among men who have sex with...Gooch backs up Australian win with LIV lead in Singapore

LONDON (AP) — Eva Green was awarded $1 million Friday by a British court in her dispute over the collapse of a project she feared was destined to become a “B movie” that could ruin her career. A High Court judge ruled in favor of the French actor in her lawsuit against the producers of “A Patriot,” a sci-fi thriller that collapsed in 2019. England-based film production company White Lantern Film countersued, portraying Green during a January trial as a diva who made “excessive creative and financial demands” and torpedoed the production. Justice Michael Green ruled that the actor was entitled to her 810,000 pound fee and he dismissed the counterclaim.“Ms. Green did not renounce her obligations under the artist agreement; nor did she commit any repudiatory breaches of it,” the judge said.Green, 42, who played Vesper Lynd in the 2006 version of the James Bond thriller “Casino Royale,” said she “fell in love” with the script for “A Patriot” and its environmental message but became incr...WTOP’s Beer of the Week: Brasserie de la Senne-Allagash Zennegash Witbier
