Fauci Says U.S. Doing Well on Vaccinations, Concerned About Level of Covid-19 Infections – The Wall Street Journal

Top health officials warned that vaccine hesitancy posed a risk to getting enough Americans inoculated to stop the spread of Covid-19, and they encouraged individuals to get vaccinated. “If we’re going to be able to put Covid-19 behind us, we need to have all Americans take part in getting us to that point,” Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” President Biden’s chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said separately that the U.S. has made good progress on vaccinations overall but that the level of infections remains precarious at an average of nearly 60,000 daily cases in the past week as of Friday. “We don’t want that to go up,” Dr. Fauci said on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephan...

PHOTOS: Cast Members Evacuated From Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Ahead of Reopening at Magic Kingdom – wdwnt.com

Disney announced that, after over a year of being closed, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom would reopen this weekend—although operating hours have been posted beginning Monday, April 26th. After it didn’t reopen on Saturday, we’ve been keeping an eye on the attraction today and Cast Members even told us it would probably open “around noon.” A rainstorm delayed the possible noon opening and guests took refuge beneath the PeopleMover track. The rainstorm passed and Cast Members who don’t work on the PeopleMover were invited to ride before guests. Unfortunately, technical issues stopped the attraction about half an hour later. The Cast Members riding were then evacuated. PeopleMover Cast Members walked the track to assist with the rid...

Elon Musk says bunch of people will probably die during Mars mission – New York Post

Elon Musk has admitted that “a bunch of people will probably die” in the race to get to Mars. The SpaceX pioneer made his blunt prediction as he laughed at how his planned Mars mission was being seen as “some escape hatch for rich people.” “You might die, it’s going to be uncomfortable and probably won’t have good food,” Musk told Peter Diamandis, the founder and chairman of the X Prize Foundation for scientific discovery. Advertisements for the journey should note how it will be an “arduous and dangerous journey where you may not come back alive,” Musk said with a chuckle. “Honestly, a bunch of people will probably die in the beginning,” he said, while insisting it will also be “a glorious adventure and it will be an amazing experience.” It’s ...

Walt Disney World Cancelling Park Pass Reservations Not Connected to Theme Park Admission – wdwnt.com

Walt Disney World Resort will be implementing a new policy in order to free up some Theme Park Reservations that may be held on Guests’ accounts without valid admission. Although Park Passes must be reserved with a valid ticket, sometimes Guests may change the dates on their tickets but not the dates of their Park Pass reservations. Walt Disney World is attempting to curb the holding of Park Pass Reservations when they’re not connected to valid theme park admission, allowing more availability for other Guests. Theme Park Reservation cancellation emails will be sent to Guests 48 hours prior to the day on which the Park Pass reservation isn’t connected to theme park admission. If the Guest does not cancel the reservation, it will be automatically canceled after those 48 hours have ...

Alber Elbaz, Fashion Designer, Dies of Covid at 59 – The New York Times

Survivors include a brother and two sisters as well as his partner, Alex Koo. In New York, Mr. Elbaz became the assistant designer of Geoffrey Beene. He then moved to Paris in 1996 to become the head of prêt-à-porter design at Guy Laroche — until two years later Yves Saint Laurent himself chose Mr. Elbaz to take over as his heir, designing the women’s Rive Gauche ready-to-wear collections for YSL. That dream, however, was short-lived, as Gucci Group bought the brand in 1999 and Mr. Elbaz was soon fired in favor of Tom Ford. It was a crushing blow for the designer and started him on his journey questioning fashion. In 2001, however, he met Shaw-Lan Wang, a Taiwan-based Chinese-born former media mogul, who was part of a consortium that had purchased Lanvin, and he convinced her, he said, to...
