Double mutant COVID-19 strain emerges in California – New York Post

A new “double mutant” variant of the coronavirus has been discovered in California, with scientists worrying the strain could be more infectious. The Stanford Clinical Virology Lab identified and confirmed one case of the variant — which first emerged in India — in the Bay Area, Stanford Health Care spokesperson Lisa Kim told the San Francisco Chronicle Sunday. Seven other presumptive cases are also being screened by Stanford. The emerging strain is called the “double mutant” because it carries two mutations in the virus that helps it latch onto cells, the news outlet reported. The “double mutant” variant has been found in 20 percent of cases sequenced from India’s hard-hit state of Maharashtra, where coronavirus cases have surged more than 50 perce...

How Dr. Scott Gottlieb protects his young kids on playdates before they can get Covid shots – CNBC

Dr. Scott Gottlieb on Monday explained how he's trying to keep his three young daughters safe from Covid-19 while still allowing them to visit friends before their age groups can get vaccinated. Gottlieb detailed his approach on "Squawk Box," after co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin asked the former FDA chief for his thoughts on indoor playdates for kids if their parents are fully vaccinated. "I'm reintroducing activities with my children, but I'm doing it, I hope, in a prudent way where I'm still keeping the social network somewhat defined. I'm being mindful about how many people they're interacting with and who they're interacting with," said Gottlieb, who led the Food and Drug Administration in the Trump administration from 2017 to 2019. He's now on the board of Pfizer, which ma...

What to know about new virus detected in India thats in SF Bay Area – SF Gate

One case of a new virus first detected in India was identified in the San Francisco Bay Area last week and seven other cases are expected. The Clinic Virology Lab at Stanford Health Care detected the variant and believes it is the first instance identified in the United States, according to KRON. The variant found in India features a combination of two mutations in the spiky protein that have been identified in other variants: the L452R mutation first detected in California that is believed to be 20% more transmissible, and the E484Q that's dominant in Brazil. The virus has been mutating throughout the pandemic. Most mutations are trivial, but scientists have been investigating which ones might make the virus spread more easily or make people sicker. Vari...

‘The Nevers’ Can’t Muster Enough Magic to Erase Joss Whedon – Rolling Stone

The Nevers should be a triumphant TV homecoming for Joss Whedon. It’s the first series in more than a decade solely created by the man responsible for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly. (He co-created Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. back in 2013 with brother Jed Whedon and sister-in-law Maurissa Tancharoen, and wasn’t really involved past the pilot episode.) It is his first dance with premium cable, after spending the earlier phase of his career working for broadcast networks with either low budgets or minimal faith in his ideas. After he spent much of the last 10 years directing comic-book movies, it’s a return to the medium that made him a creative superstar, with a premise — a host of superhuman women cause a stir in Victorian England — hearkening back to the familiar Buffy theme...

Loki’s new trailer sends him on a sci-fi tour of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – Polygon

The Marvel Universe is broken, and it’s up to Loki to fix it, according to the latest trailer for his upcoming series on Disney Plus. Marvel released the trailer for Loki on Monday, and it seems like the show will send Loki from one famous Marvel movie moment to another. The trailer starts out by reminding us where Loki is and how he got there. In Avengers: Endgame, Loki picked up the Tesseract and almost immediately got arrested by the extremely goofy Time Variance Authority (TVA). According to TVA officer Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson), when Loki picked up the Tesseract, he accidentally broke time, and now he’s got to fix it. And as it turns out, fixing time means traveling back through famous MCU moments in what looks like a sci-fi, reality-hopping, heist series. ...

Massachusetts has highest P.1 coronavirus variant case count in US – Fox News

Massachusetts now accounts for about a quarter of the P.1 coronavirus variant cases detected in the U.S., surpassing Florida’s 55 with 58. According to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Bay State’s total is currently highest in the U.S. A review of data conducted by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard traced the sudden rise in variant cases to clusters in Cape Cod. The state announced the first case of the P.1 variant, which was originally detected in Brazil and is more transmissible than the original strain, on March 16, and said it was identified in a Barnstable County woman in her 30s. She first tested positive for the virus in late February, and at the time officials said there was no information available pertaining to her travel history...
