WWE SummerSlam 2020 Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights – Bleacher Report

Credit: WWE.com In the second emotionally-charged match of the night, Dominik Mysterio sought to repay the torment, physical and emotional agony dealt his family by the “Monday Night Messiah,” Seth Rollins, in a Street Fight. Rollins, always taunting, sported tights similar to the Phantom design worn by Rey at the 1997 Halloween Havoc pay-per-view against Eddie Guerrero. A spurt of lucha libre-style offense from Dominik gave way to a no-nonsense barrage by Rollins, who then introduced a kendo stick to the match. A dropkick by the second-generation allowed Mysterio to grab the weapon but he failed to connect with it.  Rollins wrestled control of the match, never ceasing his taunting of Rey at ringside. Dominik capitalized on the lack of focus, sending Rollins into a chair with a drop t...

Blood pressure drugs may protect against Covid-19 effects – Telegraph.co.uk

Medication for high blood pressure lowers the risk of becoming seriously ill or dying from Covid-19 by one third, a study suggests.  Researchers from the University of East Anglia studied 28,000 patients taking antihypertensives, a class of drugs used to treat high blood pressure.  They found that the risk of severe Covid-19 illness and death fell by one third for people taking Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) . Lead researcher Dr Vassilios Vassiliou, from the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School, said: “We found that there was a significantly lower risk of death and critical outcomes, so they might in fact have a protective role, particularly in patients with hypertension. “Covid-19 patients with high blood pre...

BTS is the first to rack up 100 million YouTube views in 24 hours – Engadget

Like with Blackpink’s achievement, this should represent real, organic views. YouTube stopped counting paid ad views toward 24-hour tallies in September 2019, reducing the chances that labels will artificially inflate figures. This probably won’t end the quest for short-term YouTube domination. Labels like to brag about 24-hour view counts, and there will likely be more ways to drum up hype for a new music video. However, the achievement does show that YouTube still has plenty of room to grow — even if it’s limited to South Korean megastars.

Returning from overseas or out of state? The CDC removes its 14-day quarantine recommendation – USA TODAY

Travelers returning from a trip outside the country or their state no longer face recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to self-quarantine for 14 days upon return.  The CDC updated its travel requirements online Friday, advising travelers to "follow state, territorial, tribal and local recommendations or requirements after travel." Previous guidelines recommended a 14-day quarantine for those returning from international destinations or areas with a high concentration of coronavirus cases.  Though it still notes that those exposed to the coronavirus pose a risk of infecting others for 14 days, the CDC's page on traveling amid the pandemic recommends that travelers, "regardless of where you traveled or what you did during your trip," follow social distancing g...
