After months of covering up her pregnancy, actress Megan Fox and husband Brian Austin Green have welcomed a son, Noah Shannon. This is Fox's first child and BAG's second. He has a son, Kassius, 10, with former GF Vanessa Marcil. BAG gets ALL the hot women. #Srsly. What's that guy got?
Congrats to the Fox-Austin Green family!
Also –and this is key information- Noah Shannon was born in September, but they've only just announced it. Was it a messianic birth?
Below is Fox's Facebook post about her newborn:
"We have been very lucky to have had a peaceful few weeks at home, but I would like to release this myself before others do. I gave birth to our son Noah Shannon Green on September 27th. He is healthy, happy, and perfect.
We are humbled to have the opportunity to call ourselves the parents of this beautiful soul and I am forever grateful to God for allowing me to know this kind of boundless, immaculate love.
Thanks to those of you who wish to send your positive energy and well wishes. May God bless you and your families abundantly."
Raviglione says more countries will need to step up. "If the gaps are not filled, we are going to see and have to accept millions of deaths. We will not have a decline in incidence, we will not be able to say elimination is possible ... You may get something in the future that may be worse than HIV and with multi-drug resistance."
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institute of Health (NIH), agrees.
"Not addressing this is just not an option," Fauci said. "We are a global society - we really have a moral obligation to address this problem. It's something that we just can't walk away from ... It is going to be a tough sell, but you are talking about lives that you can absolutely predict will be lost."
The TB Alliance, a group that looks for faster-acting, more affordable TB drugs, says the report shows the outlook for TB is slowly improving, but a commitment to accelerating progress is needed in order to save lives.
"Drug-resistant TB remains one of the world's most ominous global health threats, but treatments for this disease are antiquated and inadequate," said Dr. Mel Spigelman, president and CEO of the TB Alliance.
"Standard treatments for drug-sensitive tuberculosis must be taken every day for as long as six months to ensure that all bacteria in the patient are eradicated. Drug-resistant TB requires a minimum of 18 months of treatment, which includes more toxic drugs and injections. We must focus our efforts on developing new drug combinations that are shorter, less complex, cheaper, and that have fewer side effects."
