A Parent’s Toughest Call: In-Person Schooling or Not? – The New York Times

All summer, as information about how the coronavirus affects children has trickled in, I’ve been updating a balance sheet in my head. Every study I read, every expert I talked to, was filling in columns on this sheet: reasons for and against sending my children back to school come September. Into the con column went a study from Chicago that found children carry large amounts of virus in their noses and throats, maybe even more than adults do. Also in the con column: two South Korean studies, flawed as they were, which suggested children can spread the virus to others — and made me wonder whether my sixth-grader, at least, should stay home. Reports from Europe hinting that it was possible to reopen schools safely dribbled onto the pro side of my ledger. But could we match those countries...

Fauci debunks theories of low CDC coronavirus death toll: There are 180,000 plus deaths in U.S. – CNBC

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing on efforts to get back to work and school during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Washington, D.C., June 30, 2020. Al Drago | Reuters White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci debunked online theories promoted by President Donald Trump that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has changed its guidance for tallying coronavirus deaths, showing a fraction of total Covid-19 fatalities.  On Sunday, Twitter removed a post retweeted by Trump that claimed the CDC had "quietly" updated its guidance to indicate only 6% of the country's coronavirus death toll — roughly 9,000 deat...

Loretta Lynn and Kid Rock married and she explains it – CNN

"It was beautiful and everything it should be," the caption read. "Marriage isn't always easy -- heck it's not even always pretty, but love holds you together and you push through the bad days to enjoy the good ones." The 88-year old singer said she was proud of her son and his wife Crystal and wished them happiness. Then, she stirred a bit of a tizzy about herself and 49-year-old Kid Rock. "Things got crazy then -- my boy @kidrock was there and we've always teased about getting ourselves married," the caption read. "Well, the preacher was already there so we had some fun with it. Sorry girls, he's taken now!" Photos showed the rocker on one knee in front of a seated Lynn, and in one frame, she's wearing a veil. Naturally, the internet went wild. But Lynn offered an explanation in a po...

Niecy Nash marries Jessica Betts in surprise ceremony: #LoveWins – AOL

Niecy Nash began this week with some happy news, as she revealed that she’d married musician Jessica Betts. She posted the message, “Mrs. Carol Denise Betts,” referencing her real name. The Claws star also tagged her new wife, @jessicabettsmusic, and added the hashtag, “#LoveWins.” Betts shared the same photo with the caption, “I got a whole Wife.” Both look ecstatic in the photograph, which appears to have been taken in the moment after they exchanged vows. Nash, 50, hadn’t said publicly that she was engaged, so her wedding came as a surprise. She referred to the big event as a “plot twist” in her Instagram Stories. On the same platform, she mentioned a plot twist in an inspirational quote that she shared in June: “It’s your story, babe. Feel f...

No, the CDC did not ‘quietly adjust’ US coronavirus deaths – Detroit Free Press

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump shared two posts that falsely claimed COVID-19 deaths are not as high as previously thought.  The posts claimed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its COVID-19 death numbers to show that only 9,210 Americans have died from the virus. Twitter removed the first tweet for violating its rules. Another post from Jenna Ellis, a senior legal adviser for the Trump campaign, linked to a story from the Gateway Pundit, a conservative news site. That tweet was still up as of publication. The tweets misconstrue federal data on COVID-19 victims. As of Aug. 31, the CDC reported that 182,622 Americans have died since the start of the pandemic — and some estimates put the death toll even higher. The agency told us that the vast majority o...
