Jamie Lee Curtis Proudly Shares That Her Daughter Is Transgender – HuffPost

Jamie Lee Curtis is joyfully announcing that her younger daughter is transgender.  The screen legend, who shares two children with husband Christopher Guest, revealed in an interview with AARP on Wednesday that she has “watched in wonder and pride as our son became our daughter Ruby.” Making sure to note that she received Ruby’s permission to share the news, Curtis said that the 25-year-old works as a computer gaming editor and is engaged to be married next year. “I will officiate,” Curtis added about the upcoming nuptials. The 62-year-old actor said her daughter’s transition helped challenge her past beliefs that gender identity and expression are fixed, explaining that this current stage of life is a “constant metamorphosis.” “I am somebody who sheds every day,” she told the...

As CDC reverses mask policy, Apple, Costco, Walmart and others have some soul-searching to do – MarketWatch

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reversed course on its masking guidance this week — and the move has important implications for retailers and other businesses. Some restaurants, for example, are already telling customers, “No vax, no service” as the delta variant spreads. The CDC now recommends that people, regardless of vaccination status, wear a mask indoors in areas where there’s “substantial and high transmission” of COVID-19, as well as in K-12 schools. In May, the agency relaxed face mask guidance, saying it was no longer necessary for fully vaccinated individuals to wear one indoors. Speaking to reporters this week, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky highlighted her concerns around the highly contagious delta variant and the considerable share of people...

Mississippi teen who died of COVID-19 had common medical issue, official says – Fox News

Health officials in Mississippi said a teenager with a "common" underlying health condition died from COVID-19 recently, marking the state’s fourth pediatric fatality related to the virus since the pandemic began.  CLICK HERE TO FIND A COVID-19 VACCINE NEAR YOU In a press conference held Wednesday, Dr. Thomas Dobbs, the state’s health officer, said Mississippi is seeing "a phenomenal increase" in COVID-19 cases, putting significant stress on the health system due to an increase in hospitalizations. Dobbs pinned the rise in cases on low vaccination numbers combined with rapid spread of the delta variant and an increase in activity among residents.  "We know that a majority of transmission is occurring among and from unvaccinated folks," he said, noting that about 95% of new cases are a...

In West Virginia, covid lockdowns fueled drug overdoses – The Washington Post

“Addiction makes you want to be alone. A large part of recovery is establishing a face-to-face connection — in person, not on a video,” Czaja, director of the Berkeley Day Report Center, later said in an interview. “For the large majority of this population, in my opinion, the covid restrictions — everything shutting down — is far more dangerous than covid.”

Ron Popeil, Inventor and Ubiquitous Infomercial Pitchman, Dies at 86 – The New York Times

After getting his start selling his father’s products, Mr. Popeil created his own company, Ronco, which he sold in 2005 for about $56 million. The company’s sales dropped 35 percent in the year that followed, and the company went bankrupt within two years before being revived in 2008. “The Popeil-Ronco story goes back to the old pitch traditions of when somebody used to stand up at a county fair or on a boardwalk and, through nuances of word, voice, gestures, could get somebody to stop in their tracks and buy something they would never consider buying,” Tim Samuelson, author of “But Wait! There’s More!,” a book about the Popeil family, said in 2008. After the company’s creditors forced it to be liquidated in 1984, Mr. Popeil bought its trademarks and inventory back for about $2 million. A...

Candace Cameron Bure apologizes for Bible video followers found seductive and weird – Fox News

Candace Cameron Bure issued an apology to her Instagram followers after a video she thought showed the power of the Holy Spirit was mistaken as "seductive" and "weird." On Wednesday, the "Fuller House" actress shared a TikTok lip-syncing video that she made on with her Instagram followers. The video in question shows her lip-syncing to the Lana Del Rey song "Jealous Girl." "Baby, I'm a gangster too and it takes two to tango/You don't wanna' dance with me, dance with me," she mouths while leaning over a table.  As she "sings" Bure picks up a copy of the Bible and holds it close to her chest with a smirk. CANDACE CAMERON BURE SAYS SHE'D RATHER 'SHARE JESUS WITH PEOPLE' THAN RETURN TO 'THE VIEW' "When they don't know the power of the Holy Spirit," she wrote over the video. C...

CDC yet to release COVID data behind mask reversal – Fox News

More than a day after issuing new guidance that vaccinated people should wear masks indoors – recommendations that are likely to affect millions of Americans in the form of private and public mask mandates – the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has yet to release the data behind its decision.  The lack of clarity on what exactly the agency is basing its decision on comes as states and cities across the country are working to vaccinate more of their citizens. And it's making some local officials reluctant to follow the CDC's advice on nearly universal masking. WHERE TO FIND COVID VACCINES "While the CDC issued their guidance yesterday at about 3 p.m., they have not yet released their scientific reports on the data that underlies their recommendation," New York City Health and...

Houston pediatrician warns parents to take COVID very seriously with childrens hospitals full – Houston Chronicle

Christina Propst is a pediatrician at a private practice in Houston, as well as a member of the American Association of Pediatrics’ Council on Children and Disasters, and of the Texas Pediatric Society Committee on Infectious Diseases and Immunizations. This week, she weighed in about what’s on her mind. With COVID rates rising, pediatricians and general practitioners are back on the healthcare frontlines. What are you seeing? We’re seeing, unfortunately, a convergence, a perfect storm of COVID plus a truly unprecedented rate of infection with RSV — respiratory syncytial virus. RSV is a common virus, normally a wintertime virus, and it tends to run in tandem with flu season. This winter, for whatever reason, we had very mild flu and RS...
