The CDC should have updated its surface-cleaning guidelines much sooner, Dr. Ashish Jha says – CNBC

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should have updated its guidelines on cleaning household surfaces well before this week, the dean of Brown University's School of Public Health said Tuesday. "It's incredibly frustrating," Dr. Ashish Jha told CNBC's "The News with Shepard Smith." "I think I was starting to say by last April and May, many of us in public health, stop wiping down surfaces." "I don't understand, actually, what took CDC so long to really be clear about this. This virus is spread through the air," Jha said. The CDC said Monday that a thorough soap-and-water scrub is adequate to keep Covid-19 from spreading in the home. Using disinfectants, however, is recommended in indoor-setting schools and homes where there has been a suspected or confirmed vi...

Nasim Pedrad finds her inner boy as “Chad”: “Its such a universal notion to just want to belong” – Salon

The idea of the new high school-centered comedy "Chad" is almost as old as the title character himself. Created by and starring "Saturday Night Live," "Scream Queens" and "New Girl" alum Nasim Pedrad, the show was first announced back in the winter of 2016. Following a string of fits and starts and network shifts, the series is finally debuting on TBS. "Chad" follows the misadventures of an awkward Iranian-American teenager navigating an eternal quest to climb the social ladder. And the lying, crying boy at the center of the action is played by the 39-year-old Pedrad herself. The writer, actor, director and producer appeared on "Salon Talks" recently to discuss the long road to the show's arrival, and how she found her inner Chad.

While it's unclear if Milo is aware of the buzz surrounding his gym get-up, he previously revealed he was "not uncomfortable" being called a sex symbol.
