Kylie Jenner backlash swirls on Twitter after GoFundMe donation request – Page Six

Kylie Jenner sparked outrage on Twitter over the weekend after encouraging fans to contribute to an online fundraiser for celebrity makeup artist Samuel Rauda, who was involved in a serious incident and underwent surgery last week. Jenner, 23, who has worked with Rauda, had recently promoted a GoFundMe page dedicated to funding his medical expenses on her Instagram story, telling her 222 million followers: “Swipe up to visit his families [sic] go fund me,” according to The Sun. The request didn’t sit well with fans, who noted Jenner could have potentially funded the costs as she has an estimated net worth of just under $900 million. “Why is kylie jenner asking for donations to fund her makeup artist’s surgery when she’s a billionaire,” one user tweeted. ...

Demi Lovato on being California sober after 2018 overdose, and how she had to essentially die to wake up – Yahoo Entertainment

Demi Lovato's new YouTube documentary, Dancing with the Devil, lays bare some painful admissions from the pop star about her battle with substance abuse and eating disorders, her 2018 overdose and her experiences with sexual assault. With just two days to go before the four-part series — which just premiered at SXSW — makes its March 23 debut, the former Disney Channel star is opening up to CBS Sunday Morning about her recovery and finally finding joy.  As CBS correspondent Tracy Smith notes, this isn't the first time Lovato, 28, has spoken about overcoming both addiction and eating disorders. In a 2016 interview with Smith, Lovato spoke of being grateful to still be alive.

Is Ivanka Trumps new image makeover a clue about her next move? – Salon

In a column for the Daily Beast, style writer Alaina Demopolous claimed that Ivanka Trump is willingly making herself available for the paparazzi to snap pictures of her in Florida as part of an image makeover since leaving the White House after her father Donald Trump lost re-election. Ivanka, who has given indications she would like to jump into politics like her father and other family members -- including sister-in-law Lara Trump -- recently made clear that she won't be primarying Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) but that doesn't mean that she doesn't have her eye on running for office at a later date. As Demopolous explains, "Have you missed Ivanka Trump's frequent Instagram posts featuring glamour shots, MAGA propaganda, and snapshots from her children's play time? Probably not. But the mos...

Ex-FDA head warns COVID-19 variant could infect vaccinated New Yorkers – New York Post

New York’s homegrown COVID-19 variant may be infecting people who have already had the virus — or even been vaccinated, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration said Sunday. Dr. Scott Gottlieb said it remains unclear if the COVID-19 variant, known as B.1.526, is driving viral surges in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. “What we don’t understand with 1.526 is whether or not people are being re-infected with it and whether or not people who might have been vaccinated are now getting infected with it,” Gottlieb told CBS anchor Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.” The New York variant contains a mutation similar to the South African variant B.1.351, which has shown “in certain cases” to re-infect people who have already had the bug, Gottlieb sai...

Coronavirus in Israel: I don’t expect another wave says corona czar – The Jerusalem Post

Israel is not going to experience another wave, Coronavirus Commissioner Prof. Nachman Ash said Sunday, as the number of cases dropped below 350, the lowest level since November. “I’m glad to see a decline in all indices,” Ash said in a press briefing. “I want to remind everyone that we have not yet reached the low numbers that we registered between the second and third waves, so there is still a long way to go. However, the encouraging detail is that the decrease is happening despite a wide opening of the economy, which occurred about two weeks ago as the third stage of the exit strategy from the lockdown began.” Some 337 new cases of the novel  coronavirus were identified on Saturday, with only 1.8% of tests returning positive, the Health Ministry reported. While the number of te...

My husband, other health-care workers have been praised for their struggles with the pandemic. Families should be recognized, too. – Washington Post

Lately as I pass the lawn signs and billboards and banners thanking health-care workers for their heroism, I feel proud of my husband’s part in combating the pandemic. But that pride is tinged with anger. For as much as John and his co-workers deserve gratitude for their selflessness, they also deserve a lot more support. And so do their families. Much has been written about the toll covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has taken on people like my husband. Less obvious is the effect it has had on their families. We have always shared the grief they bring home, and sometimes the diseases. In our family, medicine isn’t just what my husband, John, does, it’s who he is. An infectious-disease doctor, he remembers well the early years of the AIDS epidemic when HIV was little und...

Outbreaks of COVID variant now in four Minnesota counties – Bring Me The News

Credit: New Jersey National Guard via Flickr Minnesota is now seeing outbreaks of the U.K. variant of COVID-19 in four counties, health officials announced on Friday. Minnesota Department of Health Director of Infectious Diseases Kris Ehresmann says multiple cases of the B.1.1.7. variant have now been found in Scott County, Blue Earth County, and an area of St. Louis County near Aurora in the Iron Range. That's in addition to Carver County, which has already seen dozens of variant cases in recent weeks, the spread of which contact tracing has linked back to youth sports and recreation. MDH has said a 2-day COVID testing event will be held at the Aurora Community Center Monday and Tuesday, while it has selected Mankato – in Blue Earth County – as the location for its 7th permanent communit...
