Oscars 2022 Predictions: House of Gucci, Being the Ricardos, Encanto – Variety

With the 2021 Oscars in the rearview, Variety looks ahead to what could be a very packed and condensed year with the Awards Circuit Draft for Oscars 2022. A tradition for the past 16 years, I’ve always thrown shots in the dark in the week immediately following the Academy Awards. For the first time, my year-in-advance top pick, Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland,” won picture and director. Can lightning strike twice? The last two years have included thoughts that 2019’s “Harriet” from Kasi Lemmons would have a big Academy debut, with top spots for eventual nominee Cynthia Erivo, but the love ending there. In 2018, I suspected “The Irishman” from Martin Scorsese would arrive in time, but alas, it was pushed to 2019. Other past choices have included 2017’s “Phantom Thread” (then unt...

The Latest: Brazils COVID-19 death toll tops 400000 – The Associated Press

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state is changing the way it allocates coronavirus vaccine as demand for the shots declines in some places. Previously the state doled out supplies to counties proportionate to their populations. But Gov. Jay Inslee said Thursday that the amounts now will be based on requests from health care providers. Inslee said: “It is a terrible thing to think we would have vaccine to save people’s lives and not see it in people’s arms.” All state residents over age 16 have be eligible for a coronavirus vaccination since April 15. As of Thursday, more than 5.2 million doses of vaccine have been administered and nearly 30% of the state’s residents have been fully vaccinated. ___ THE VIRUS OUTBREAK: — US recovery from pandemic recession is showing momentum — Indians turn ...

CDC: Michigan taxidermist may have caught COVID-19 from infected mink – Detroit Free Press

Derek Kravitz and Bianca Fortis, Brown Institute for Media Innovation; Miriam Marini, Detroit Free Press A Michigan taxidermist who got infected with COVID-19 is at the center of a medical mystery that borders on the bizarre: Did he get infected by a mink — the animal susceptible to the virus and farmed for its fur — or a human? Medical experts have, so far, been unable to answer that question, though records obtained in a joint Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state and county health investigation show a potential link to a nearby mink farm. In early February, a taxidermist living in Eaton County, became infected with COVID-19. A sample from his positive test result was sent to the state lab to be genetically sequenced — and came back as connected to a mutation of the viru...

Plague wasnt the only disease that afflicted medieval Britons. Cancer did, too – CNN

This is, in part, down to longer life expectancies, habits like smoking, and exposure to tumor-inducing chemicals post-industrial revolution. However, new research published in the journal Cancer on medieval skeletons has suggested that cancer was more widespread than previously realized -- although still less common than today. In the first study of its kind, researchers from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom analyzed 143 skeletons from six cemeteries from the Cambridge area that were dated to between the sixth and 16th centuries. To detect malignant lesions, the team focused on three areas most likely to contain secondary malignant growth in people with cancer -- the spinal column, pelvis and thigh bone. The scientists visually inspected the bones and used radiographs...
