The Idea of a Live-Action Lilo & Stitch Frightens Me and I Dont Want It – Gizmodo

Lilo and Stitch, dancing like cuties. Image: Disney I think there’s one thing we, as a society, need to come together and agree on: no one wants to see a “realistic” CGI version of Stitch, the little blue gremlin of death and friendship that stars in the Disney animated movie Lilo & Stitch. Put it on the next election ballot as a referendum, get some data. Because we need to lay down the law, and we need to lay it down now. Because we’re running out of time. To wit: the Hollywood Reporter shared yesterday that Jon M. Chu, director of Crazy Rich Asians, is in talks with Disney to direct the still-in-process live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. The film is being produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of Rideback, which produced the Aladdin remake. Currently, Disney’s also l...

Chris Randone Says He Feels “Truly Broken” Over Ex-Wife Krystal Nielsons Pregnancy – E! NEWS

As Bachelor Nation fans will recall, Chris and Krystal met on season five of Bachelor in Paradise in 2018. Like The Bachelorette and The Bachelor, the two found themselves engaged by the end of Paradise and tied the knot during a televised wedding a year later. But by February 2020, the couple announced they were officially calling it quits. "It hurts to announce that at this moment, we have mutually decided to separate," the duo said in a joint statement at the time. "Never did we imagine this scenario, but we've come to a point where we both need to work on ourselves." They both filed for divorce in August. "I wouldn't say this marriage was a failure because we evolved into better versions of ourselves," Chris shared on Instagram Stories. "I'll always wish things turned out differ...

These scientists pour cold water on one seemingly critical similarity between COVID-19 and 1918 ‘Spanish flu’ – MarketWatch

“Cytokine storms” were a common feature of the 1918 influenza, historians and health professionals say. But how large a part do potentially fatal immune responses play in the coronavirus pandemic? Some 500 million people, or one-third of the world’s population, became infected with the 1918 Spanish flu. An estimated 50 million people died worldwide, with about 675,000 deaths occurring in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Saturday, 56.7 million people worldwide contracted COVID-19, with 1.3 million deaths, 244,987 of which were in the U.S. These scientists aimed to find out. Most adults with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 have a suppressed viral immune response when compared to those suffering from influenza, according to research published ...

Lessons learned in COVID-19s first wave benefiting French patients, doctors say – New York Post

With Paris locked down for a surging second wave of the coronavirus, doctors say they are now better equipped to save lives after learning valuable lessons in treating the disease’s first wave earlier this year. Philippe Montravers and the 150 doctors and nurses he leads at the Bichat Hospital, which was the first facility outside China to record a COVID-19 related death in February, said they have now become experts at treating the virus. “In the first wave, people didn’t dare come to the hospital,” he said “They were scared, scared of being infected, When they arrived, they were on their last legs, exhausted, unable to move, and so — hop! — we intubated and ventilated them.” Now the hospital relies less on the invasive treatment and uses steroids to treat patients — a ther...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, first infected humans after crossing species lines from an unknown animal. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), scientists speculate that this animal was a bat, because the SARS-CoV-2 genome is closely related to coronaviruses observed in horseshoe bats in China. Until recently, this was believed to be the only incident of an animal infecting a human being with the novel coronavirus. Now, for the first time since that original transmission, we know that one more animal can transmit the coronavirus to humans: mink.
