In 2019, measles infected at least 860,000 people and killed over 200,000 worldwide. According to Gizmodo, the World Health Organization says it's a roughly 50% jump in deaths from the highly contagious but vaccine-preventable viral illness. What's more, the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is likely to make this situation even worse. Outbreaks were especially large and uncontrolled in Africa and Europe, which the WHO says was fundamentally due to the failure to vaccinate. Many countries this year have documented declines in routine vaccinations, including the US. Experts fear the pandemic will thwart the battle against diseases such as measles, HIV, and tuberculosis--particularly in already-struggling regions.
World Mental Health Day is on October 10. In honor of the day, CNN Style spoke with Selena Gomez, an advocate for mental health awareness. The singer and actor has been open about her own mental health challenges, and sometimes feeling "less than," due to the pressures that come along with becoming famous at a young age. She explains, "It's hard enough for anyone during those early years but imagine it with the world judging you and commenting on every aspect of your life and choices." Selena wants to use her voice to reduce the stigma associated with talking about mental health, and to encourage people to celebrate their individualism. The goal of her new beauty line, Rare Beauty, is to challenge beauty norms and celebrating what each person unique. She adds "Since the start of Rare Beauty, my team and I have been building a community to have positive conversations around self-acceptance and mental health." A percentage of the sales go to Selena's Rare Impact Fund, which helps underserved communities access to the mental health resources and services. Their goal is to raise $100 million over the next ten years. She adds, "We all need to embrace our uniqueness, stop comparing ourselves to others, and love ourselves more, especially right now."
