Disney delays Death On The Nile again, buying some time to figure out what to do about Armie Hammer – The A.V. Club

Armie Hammer and Gal Gadot in Death On The NilePhoto: Rob Youngson, Disney The release of The New Mutants seemed like it would be the last 20th Century Fox mess that Disney would have to clean up after consuming its former competitor’s film and TV branches, but it has also been sitting on another proverbial bomb: director Kenneth Branagh’s Death On The Nile, which happens to star Armie Hammer. Over the last few months, a number of horrible accusations have been made against Hammer, leading to one woman publicly accusing him of rape and the Los Angeles Police Department confirming that it had opened an investigation into Hammer earlier this month. He has now dropped out of multiple projects and lost his agent, but he had already filmed Death On The Nile long before any of this came to l...

Humboldt Will Open Vaccine Eligibility to Adults and Kids 16 and Over Along With the State, Says Public Health Officer in Todays Media Availability – Lost Coast Outpost

A bit of news in today’s media questions for Dr. Ian Hoffman, Humboldt County’s health officer — in response to a question from the Times-Standard, Hoffman says that the county has decided that it will expand age-based vaccine eligibility along with the rest of the state — 50 and over will be eligible on Thursday, and everyone over 16 starting April 15. In the past, Humboldt has been slower to expand eligibility than other areas of the state, while at the same time — as Hoffman acknowledges elsewhere today — local vaccine providers have often had their own ideas about who should be vaccinated first, often at odds with the guidelines Public Health has announced. Expect delays, Hoffman warned — with expanded eligibility there will likely be a rush on vaccine appointments. All that,...
