Why Ken Burns will never make a documentary for the streaming giants – Yahoo Finance

The conservatorship of Britney Spears, the college admissions fraud scandal, the accusation of sexual abuse against Woody Allen — all of these stories came back atop headlines in recent weeks after new documentaries offered fresh insight.  The films appeared on streaming platforms Hulu (DIS), Netflix (NFLX), and HBO Max (T) to feed a growing appetite for nonfiction. Still, legendary documentary filmmaker Ken Burns says in a new interview he'll never make a movie for the streaming giants. Rather, he plans to keep his longtime partnership with PBS that affords him total creative control and a lengthy production timeline, he says. "I've been with public television my entire thing and I'm staying with them," says Burns, whose new three-part film "Hemingway" premieres on April 5. "They have on...

He was totally normal: Tooele County boy recovering from syndrome caused by COVID-19 – KSL.com

GRANTSVILLE – Meghan McCormick said one day her son was fine, and then the very next day he had a high fever, was exhausted and sick with a syndrome that is caused by COVID-19 — except no one knew he had the coronavirus. It was a confusing time, even for their pediatrician who didn't even suspect it had anything to do with COVID-19. Ask 7-year-old Easton McCormick how it went, and he will not mince words. "Poo-poo," he exclaimed. It wasn't good. We're talking about Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, also known as MIS-C. It's a rare condition that can make children really sick after they get COVID-19. "He woke up with a fever of 104, so yeah, that was really high," Meghan McCormick said. They had no idea her son, or really anyone else in the house, had COVID-19. "We didn't know...

Meghan Markle appeared to lead a normal life during her time as a royal, biographer claims – Daily Mail

Meghan Markle appeared to lead a 'normal life' during her time as a royal - despite the bombshell revelations she made during the tell-all Oprah Winfrey interview, Princess Diana's biographer claimed. Andrew Morton, who famously penned Princess Diana's blockbuster biography in 1992, claimed friends told him they saw the Duchess of Sussex, 39, out and about with friends during her time in the Royal Family. In the extraordinary interview watched by tens of millions of people around the world, Meghan claimed she only left the house twice in four months when she was living at the palace and alleged that officials took her 'passport, my driving licence, my keys.'  Speaking on Royally Obsessed podcast, the royal biographer was asked whether Meghan's situation was similar to that experienced by ...

Israels dilemma: Can the unvaccinated return to workplaces? – Associated Press

JERUSALEM (AP) — After spending much of the past year in lockdown, Tel Aviv makeup artist Artyom Kavnatsky was ready to get back to work. But when he showed up for a recent photo shoot, his employer turned him away. The reason? He had not been vaccinated against the coronavirus. “He didn’t take me because I didn’t get vaccinated,” Kavnatsky said. “It’s discrimination, and it’s not all right.” The breakneck pace of Israel’s vaccination drive has made it one of the few countries able to return to much of its pre-pandemic routine. Bars and businesses, hotels and health clubs have all sprung back to life in Israel, where some 80% of the adult population is fully vaccinated and new infections and COVID-19 deaths have plummeted. While Israel provides a glimpse of what may be possible with high...

Readers say laminating your COVID-19 vaccination card may not be best idea: Heres why – Detroit Free Press

On second thought, maybe laminating your COVID-19 vaccine card isn't the greatest idea.  Sure, laminating your original vaccination card will preserve it, but is it safe? "We were advised NOT to laminate our vaccination cards in case we need a booster shot to add to the other two vaccinations," said snowbird Leah Bisel from West Bloomfield. Bisel, who lives part of the year in Boynton Beach, Florida, and got vaccinated in Florida, said she made copies of her vaccination card and will keep the original in a "safe place." However, she will likely laminate a copy of the card.  Scam:Why you don't want to post a selfie with your vaccine card Vaccinating Michigan:Tracking the progress of the state's COVID-19 vaccine rollout Other folks are seeing issues with the ink used on vaccination cards.
