“There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes),” the agency stated. “In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk.”

Emmys 2020: 14 things to know, from Zendaya’s historic win to a record-breaking ‘Schitt’s Creek’ sweep – The Washington Post

1. Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue and a brief fire Kimmel set the tone for the “Pandemmys” right up front: This is all super weird. “The big question I guess we should answer is, why would you have an award show in the middle of a pandemic?” he asked. “No seriously, I’m asking: Why would you have an award show in the middle of a pandemic?!” However, he noted that even though the show is “frivolous and unnecessary” in a year of misery (“division, injustice, disease, Zoom school, disaster and death”), it might be fun to have a distraction. Kimmel briefly tried to trick the viewers into thinking there were hundreds of celebrities in the crowd before quickly showing producers were just splicing in past scenes of award shows. He reassured everyone the virtual show was completely safe: “This isn’t ...

The Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie Set for Posthumous Album Release ‘Away Is Mine’ – Billboard

Gord Downie, late frontman of The Tragically Hip, will be immortalized with a special double album of his last recorded works. Entitled Away Is Mine, the posthumous release is “a contemplation on Gord’s life, written with his deft hand and forever inscrutable sense of humor, even as he locked eyes with the Great Inevitability,” reads a statement announcing the new album. Downie recorded the ten songs in July 2017 at The Tragically Hip’s studio in Bath, Ontario, shaped by guitarist and co-writer Josh Finlayson and with Bathouse in-house engineer Nyles Spencer at the mixing desk. Sadly, these sessions were Downie's last. “This won’t be his last release, but these are the final ten songs Gord sang before he passed away. The last time he ever sang into a mic,” brother Patrick Do...

The CDC says coronavirus is airborne and spread by aerosols, warns of badly ventilated spaces – The Washington Post

“There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes),” the agency stated. “In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk.” “It’s a major change,” Jose-Luis Jimenez, a chemistry professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder who studies how aerosols spread the virus, told The Washington Post. “This is a good thing, if we can reduce transmission because more people understand how it is spreading and know what to do to stop it.” The CDC shifted its guidelines on Friday, but the change was not widely noticed until a CNN report on Sunday. Where the agency previously warned t...

Jenny Berz was infected with the coronavirus in March after returning from a trip in Hawaii.

She also had asthma attacks, lost her sense of smell and had a burning sensation in her arms, also known as neuropathy. “Somewhere a...

Petee’s Pie Commandments

Petra Paredez grew up in a pie family. As she writes in a new cookbook, Pie for Everyone, her parents started Mom’s Apple Pie Company in 1981, as “two destitute hippies” living in Virginia on a struggling farm. To make ends meet, the solution was pie. Lots of pie. And to their surprise, Mom’s Apple Pie became a statewide success and a thriving business. When kids came along, the whole family would use vacations as opportunities to rank and dissect other pies, from piemakers far and wide. These would become formative experiences for Petra, and before long, her standards for what really constituted a good pie—a rich, flaky crust and fresh ingredients that don’t need heaps of sugar added to taste good—were ingrained. Instead of joining her mom and d...
