California Goes From Worst to First in Virus Infections – NBC Bay Area

Just a few months ago, California was the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. Hospitals in Los Angeles were drowning in patients, and ambulances were idling outside with people struggling to breathe, waiting for beds to open. The death count was staggering — so many that morgues filled and refrigerated trucks were brought in to handle the overflow. Now as cases spike in other parts of the country, California has gone from worst to first with the lowest infection rate in the U.S. even as it has moved quickly to reopen more businesses with greater customer counts and allow larger gatherings. A scramble to get COVID-19 vaccinations has given way to an open invite in many places. Where people lined up hours and counties struggled to get doses, there ...

State quarantines N.J. property after cases of equine herpes – NJ.com

The New Jersey Department of Agriculture said Friday it has quarantined a Morris County property after two horses developed the highly infectious equine herpes myeloencephalopathy, marking the state’s first reported cases this year of the fast-spreading virus. The horses — 17-year-old and 20-year-old Quarter Horse geldings — showed clinical signs of the illness April 18, according to state officials. The horses received medical treatment and were reported to be improving. “The Department took swift action in an effort to prevent the disease from spreading to other horses by enacting a quarantine, which stops movement of horses in and out of the properties and puts in place preventive measures to contain the virus,” New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher said in a stateme...

Vaccine hesitancy in Hinds County, Mississippi, is a story shared elsewhere – CNN

But on a recent day at a mass Covid-19 vaccination site at the university in Jackson, Mississippi, getting a shot was a snap. People wanting to be vaccinated just trickled in, and the staff at the site sat bored in the meantime. "Today it's quiet, but it hasn't been like that all the time," Atehortua said. At a drive-thru site in Jackson that can handle up to 1,200 appointments in a day, only 275 people had signed up Thursday -- and some of those didn't bother to show up, workers there said. Experts worry the drop-off suggests a lot of people don't want the vaccine and fear what's happening here could jeopardize reaching herd immunity, which doctors say won't be achieved until at least 70% of population is vaccinated. Public health officials fight misinformation Campaigns encouraging ...

‘Kavalier & Clay’ Author Michael Chabon Apologizes For Scott Rudin Collaboration: “I Knew Enough” – Deadline

Michael Chabon, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his 2000 novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and worked for years with producer Scott Rudin on an unrealized film adaptation, has written a lengthy mea culpa – titled Apology of a Rudin Apologist – in which he expresses shame and regret for “enabling Scott Rudin’s abuse.” In a nearly 1,400-word essay posted today on Medium, Chabon writes of both witnessing and receiving the producer’s abuse. “I heard stories of Scott’s tantrums and vindictiveness, but not of smashed hands and people pushed out of moving cars,” writes Chabon, whose first screenplay was optioned by Rudin in 1994. “But I knew enough. I regularly, even routinely, heard him treat his staff, from the new kid doing the coffee run to the guy just under Scott ...
