New trailers: The Harder They Fall, Ted Lasso, The Suicide Squad, and more – The Verge

Since it was one of the top picks on Netflix and everyone’s talking about it, I started watching Manifest and got five episodes in before I realized it was basically a version of Lost with a few wacky twists and I am not falling for THAT again. But the deeply weird and wonderful The Good Fight is back, and the pilot had Christine Baranski and Audra McDonald at their best, so I can’t wait to see what happens this season (although we said goodbye to two of the show’s best characters, boo). Also can we talk about Loki? We probably can’t without giving away spoilers but episode three gave us a LOT, most of which I suspect were attempts at misdirection. I got so engrossed in writing last Sunday’s trailers post that I totally missed the new Ted Lasso trailer that dropped that day. Derp. ...

Gottlieb says parts of U.S. could see “very dense outbreaks” as Delta variant spreads – CBS News

Washington — As the U.S. continues to navigate its way through the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said areas of the country could experience "very dense outbreaks" with the concerning Delta variant continuing to circulate.  "It's going to be hyper-regionalized, where there are certain pockets of the country [where] we can have very dense outbreaks," Gottlieb said Sunday on CBS News' "Face the Nation."   The most vulnerable areas continue to be those with low vaccination rates and low rates of immunity from prior infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, many southern states have vaccination rates that lag behind the national average. "I think as you look across the United States, if...

Anatomy of a health conundrum: The racial gap in vaccinations – The Washington Post

A 16-year-old came in to get STD testing, and she said, “I don’t want anyone sticking any needles in me. Hospitals give you covid that way.” Her uncle told her that the hospitals were the ones injecting covid into patients. The same uncle said covid was fake and manufactured by the hospitals and that for a vaccine to work, they have to make one individual vaccine for each person. Crazy stuff. I kindly explained to her how viruses work, and I explained to her how vaccines work. By the end of it, she was like, “Okay,” so I hope that I made some headway with her. I stayed in that room for way too long for someone who came in to be checked for STDs, but she didn’t really understand. She was very scared. Nwakanma
