Encouraging signs our immune system may be able to fight off Covid-19 reinfection – CNN

This suggested that patients who had recovered from Covid-19 could be reinfected and get sick all over again. Antibody-induced immunity lasting six months to a year is what we often observe with the human coronaviruses which cause the common cold. If this early study was to be trusted in full, this truly would be terrible news. Another article describing quickly diminishing antibody levels was published in June and followed up with a second report in July showing a similar result. The latter paper showed that, on average, patients' antibody levels tended to fall by half around 36 days after the onset of symptoms, while a small portion of those sampled declined much more slowly. The science seemed to be confirming my initial fear that antibody immunity would not be enough to protect...

COVID-19 Statistics | July 29, 2020 – Lost Coast Outpost

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center: Humboldt County’s COVID-19 case count stands at 228, after seven additional cases were reported today. Travel in and out of the county and gatherings of friends and family continue to be significant drivers of new infections, according to Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich. “Many of the places local residents are traveling to or having visitors from are experiencing much higher rates of COVID-19 infections, which makes interacting with someone who is ill with COVID more likely,” she said. California’s State Health Officer and Dr. Frankovich have both asked residents to stay close to home and limit travel as much as possible. “We are so lucky to have some of the most beautiful areas in the world ...

Ryan Reynolds, now $5,000 less rich, celebrates return of Vancouver womans beloved teddy bear – The A.V. Club

Photo: Han Myung-Gu / Stringer (Getty Images) In a world known primarily for its bad endings, we’ll take a good one when it surfaces. Last week, Ryan Reynolds alerted his millions of fans to a Vancouver woman’s lost teddy bear, which contained within it a recording of her late mother’s voice saying she loves and is proud of her. It was lost while Mara Soriano was moving, and security footage showed the bag containing the bear was, in fact, stolen. Now, Reynolds (and CBC) are here to report that the bear is again safe and sound in the arms of its owner, having been found in Vancouver’s Strathcona Park. “[T]hank you everyone who searched high and low,” Reynolds wrote while retweeting a photo of Soriano with the bear. “To the person who took the bear, thanks for keeping it safe.

Emmys Will Go Virtual in 2020, Telecast Producers Outline Plans in Letter to the Nominees (EXCLUSIVE) – Variety

No surprise, but the 2020 Emmys are going virtual. Shortly after the nominations were announced yesterday, this year’s Emmy executive producers — including host Jimmy Kimmel — sent a letter to key acting nominees informing them that this year’s ceremony will be virtual, and asking them to prepare to participate from home, or wherever they want to be. “As you’ve probably guessed, we’re not going to be asking you to come to the Microsoft Theatre in downtown LA on September 20th,” the letter says, in part. “This year, it’s still going to be TV industry’s biggest night out… but we’ll come to you!” Details are still forthcoming, but the letter says, “We are assembling a top notch team of technicians, producers and writers to work closely with Jimmy Kimmel and with you and your te...

Jessica Simpson Reveals Why She Confronted the Woman Who Abused Her as a Child – E! NEWS

Jessica Simpson did not want to leave her abuse unspoken anymore.  At the start of this year, the songstress and fashion mogul spoke out for the first time publicly in her memoir, Open Book, about the sexual abuse she suffered as child from a girl considered a family friend. However, years before she shared her story with the world, Simpson confronted her abuser.  As the star recalled in an interview on Katherine Schwarzenegger's podcast, The Gift of Forgiveness, the performer addressed the matter with her unnamed abuser about eight years ago. "I went to her and I just said, 'I know you know what was going on and I know that you were being abused,' because she was being abused by an older guy," Simpson told Schwarzenegger. "He was always there at the house as well, so he never touch...
