Yep, it looks like Vin Diesel and F9 have saved the movies – The A.V. Club

Vin DieselPhoto: Rich Fury/Getty Images for CTAOP (Getty Images) Vin Diesel pledged to save movie theaters back in April, starring in a melodramatic F9 promotional video about the power of the movies and how there’s nothing like sitting in a theater with other people as the lights go down and some ridiculous Fast And Furious bullshit starts to happen, eventually landing on the idea that “nobody does a comeback like the movies.” It was a little much, to be honest, but also that’s Vin Diesel’s whole vibe, and you know what? The old bastard pulled it off. Vin Diesel saved the movies. It might be a little premature to say that, certainly, but F9 did open to a stunning $70 million this weekend (via Variety), which is higher than any other movie has gotten since the pandemic shut down the m...

The race-based adjustment for kidney functioning thats harming Black Americans. – Slate

Jordan Crowley was born with only one shrunken kidney to clean his blood. As he gets older, his one kidney gets sicker. Jordan is now 18, loves dogs, and is more interested in telling me about his college classes than the fact that he was recently hospitalized for seizures, a complication of his illness. He’ll need a kidney transplant soon. He would be closer to getting that kidney transplant, if only he were categorized as white. A patient’s level of kidney disease is judged by an estimation of glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR, which normally sits between 90 and 120 in a patient with two healthy kidneys. In the United States, patients can’t be listed for a kidney transplant until they’re deemed sick enough—until their eGFR dips below a threshold of 20. ...

Children are thought to make up a mere 1-2% of all cases of coronavirus infections.This month, four children were admitted separately to a hospital in the central Indian state of Maharashtra with symptoms of breathlessness and falling blood pressure. Their mothers had contracted Covid-19 more than a month ago. The children had developed no symptoms of the disease. At the 1,000-bed Kasturba Hospital in Sevagram, the young patients, however, were found to have antibodies to Covid-19, indicating past infection. Now they were battling a rare, inflammatory and potentially life threatening condition called multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). This condition usually develops four to six weeks after children and teenagers have recovered from Covid-19. At the Kasturba Hospital, two of the...
