Michigan reports about 2,000 more coronavirus cases – WOODTV.com

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Michigan has reported 1,992 more confirmed cases of coronavirus and 99 additional related deaths. Of the deaths announced Tuesday, 32 were discovered when public health workers went through the state’s death certificate database to find any that had not already been reported to the state. These checks happen three times per week. In all, Michigan has now counted 867,341 confirmed cases of the virus since it was first detected here in March 2020 and 18,338 related deaths. On Monday, labs tested 19,970 samples for the virus and 1,672 were positive, a rate of 8.37%. The number of positive tests is not the same as the number of new cases because people may be tested more than once. Additionally, testing numbers are from a single calendar ...

Greys Anatomy Season 18: Is Sandra Oh Returning as Cristina or Not? – TVLine

RELATED STORIES Grey’s Anatomy fans holding out hope for Sandra Oh to join the ranks of former cast members who have returned for a guest appearance can… well, stop. Though Cristina has checked in from abroad on the condition of her ailing “person,” Meredith — and last season sent her McWidow as a care package — Dr. Yang will not appear again on the long-running ABC drama, her portrayer tells the Los Angeles Times’ Asian Enough podcast. “I love it, though, and this is also why I really appreciate the show — that I still get asked” about coming back. Nonetheless, the Killing Eve star, who played Cristina for the first 10 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy, has no interest in scrubbing in, even for a cameo. “I left that show, my God, seven years ago almost. So in my mind, it’s gone. ...

LA County could see coronavirus herd immunity by July: health official – Fox News

Los Angeles County could reach coronavirus herd immunity by mid-to-late July if the current rate of vaccinations continues, according to Los Angeles County Health Director Barbara Ferrer. While the area was once an epicenter for the virus in the U.S., the county moved into the state’s least restrictive tier last week. According to government data, the seven-day average for test positivity is less than 1%. The figure is resting around record lows since the test positivity rate spiked at over 20% during a December surge, health officials previously noted. Ferrer said it’s unclear exactly what percentage of the population would need to have immunity from vaccination or prior infection, but suggested the figure is approximately 80%. During a briefing Monday, officials said nearly 60% of el...

UK teen died on school trip after teachers allegedly refused her pleas for a doctor – New York Post

A 17-year-old British girl died from sepsis during a school trip to the Big Apple — after her “history fanatic” teachers allegedly ignored her pleas to see a doctor and disrupt the trip. Ana Uglow, a student at Bristol Grammar School, was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai West hospital in December 2019 while on the US tour, which included stops in DC and Philly, an inquest heard, according to the Bristol Post. The teen’s parents told Avon Coroner’s Court on Monday that Ana wanted to see a doctor for what she thought was a chest infection, but that her teachers “refused” two days before she died. Ana had been out of school with cold-like symptoms for two days before her trip but felt better and left for Washington on Dec. 14. Her condition quickly deter...

Study: Over 99% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients were not vaccinated – Axios

The Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday released a study showing that 99.75% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 between Jan. 1 and April 13 were not fully vaccinated, according to data provided to Axios. Why it matters: Real-world evidence continues to show coronavirus vaccines are effective at keeping people from dying and out of hospitals. The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines have been found to be 95% and 94% effective, respectively, at preventing symptomatic infections. Details: The study also looked at 47,000 Cleveland Clinic employees who had received one shot, both shots or no shots at all. The Cleveland Clinic found that 99.7% of its employees who were infected with the coronavirus were not vaccinated, and 0.3% of infections occurred in those who were fully vaccinated. The study ...

It’s not just racism and sexism. The Golden Globes have been sunk by sheer stupidity – The Guardian

The HFPA is famed for having a bizarre voting membership of 87 people; some write for credible publications, but most are a hilarious ragbag of sub-Norma-Desmond has-beens with the most reactionary worldview outside Mar-a-Lago, including freelancers, part-time writers, bit-part actors, former beauty queens and bodybuilders who have lucked into LA’s juiciest club, which pays its committee members handsomely from the TV rights income, allowing them to get luxurious junkets and to “scalp” their assigned tickets to the awards ceremony itself for tens of thousands of dollars. It is really not a critical organisation, but the owner of what was recently a very lucrative TV franchise, developed over decades, shrewdly positioned as a curtain-raiser to the Academy Awards, fanatically protected and ...
