Olivia de Havilland tributes: Jared Leto details unlikely friendship; Antonio Banderas, others also mourn – USA TODAY

Two-time Oscar winner Olivia de Havilland, who died in her Paris home Sunday at 104, was honored for her legacy that went far beyond the screen. Tributes for the "Gone With the Wind" actress, who was nominated for an Academy Award for playing sweet-natured Melanie Hamilton in the 1939 screen version of Margaret Mitchell's novel, addressed her landmark legal battle against Warner Bros. studios. De Havilland's feud with her sister, actress Joan Fontaine, also was part of the ongoing historical discussion. TCM host Ben Mankiewicz, grandson of "Citizen Kane" screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, paid tribute to de Havilland on Twitter Sunday. "There will be discussion of her 2 Oscars, of the feud w/ her sister, Joan Fontaine, of her role as 'Gone with the Wind's last survivor," Mankiewicz wr...

Do Face Coverings Lead to False Sense of Security From COVID-19? Here’s the Latest Research – SciTechDaily

  Existing limited evidence suggests that wearing face coverings to protect against COVID-19 does not lead to a false sense of security and is unlikely to increase the risk of infection through wearers foregoing other behaviors such as good hand hygiene, say researchers from the University of Cambridge and King’s College London. Writing in BMJ Analysis, the researchers say that the concept of ‘risk compensation’ is itself the greater threat to public health as it may discourage policymakers from implementing potentially effective measures, such as wearing face coverings. Wearing face coverings, particularly in shared indoor spaces, is now mandated or recommended in more than 160 countries to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Worn correctly, face...

Obesity: Unhealthy buy one get one free deals targeted – BBC News

Image copyright Getty Images "Buy one get one free" deals on unhealthy food will be banned as part of the government's bid to tackle obesity in England. The plan will also include restrictions on where foods high in fat and sugar can be promoted in store and new rules for displaying calories on menus. A ban on junk food adverts before 21:00 has been confirmed - for the whole UK. Boris Johnson said the plans would help "reduce our health risks and protect ourselves against coronavirus". The prime minister will unveil the strategy later amid growing evidence of a link between obesity and an increased risk from Covid-19. Government statistics showed nearly 8% of critically ill pa...

COVID-19 testing at universities threatens to strain nationwide capacity | TheHill – The Hill

Demand for COVID-19 testing could soar in the fall with the reopening of some universities and schools, threatening to overburden an already strained system.  Many schools and universities are planning to regularly test students and staff in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 on their campuses. But public health officials and experts worry there is not enough capacity and supplies to test thousands of people who aren’t showing any symptoms of the disease. “I think what we're starting to recognize is that it really is not going to be feasible in probably most areas of the U.S. to try to put together some type of testing strategy where you're testing multiple times, especially if the results don't come back for a while,” said Dr. Tina Tan,  a member of the board of director...

This Is Why Coronavirus Is Killing More Men Than Women, New Study Says – MSN Money

As early as April, a strange pattern began to emerge in the data of coronavirus death rates: in some places, men appeared to be dying from COVID-19 at twice the rate of women. This fact has puzzled doctors and statisticians, inspiring research into the social and biological factors that might cause such a disparity. This week, a new study published in the medical journal JAMA suggests one possible explanation: men may be prone to more severe effects of COVID due to higher rates of genetic defects. The study probed the cases of four coronavirus patients—two sets of brothers from unrelated families in the Netherlands—who were all admitted to the ICU with severe symptoms of the virus. According to the researchers...
