Recent Idaho COVID cases largely attributed to people not fully vaccinated – KTVB.com

With the new more contagious COVID delta variant, Idaho health experts highly recommend every person eligible to get a vaccine. BOISE, Idaho — Despite a widely available vaccine, Idaho is seeing one of the lowest vaccine rates among adults in the country. “Idaho is currently just under 50% of our adult population being fully vaccinated which, admittedly, is 10% below the national average. We see higher vaccination rates among older adults than young adults and teens, and frankly it varies considerably by community,” said Deputy State Epidemiologist Dr. Kathryn Turner.    Dr. Turner says the...

The Monster Squad star Andre Gower suffers a near-fatal heart attack during a tennis match – Daily Mail

Actor Andre Gower, best known for playing Sean in the 1987 horror classic The Monster Squad, is on the mend after suffering a surprise and massive heart attack. The 48-year-old actor took to his Facebook to post a video update for fans, revealing his right coronary artery was 100% blocked and his live was saved by a matter of minutes. His family and friends also set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for medical costs, with over $46K of the $250K goal donated in just the first day alone. 'Yesterday, I apparently went and had a heart attack. Apparently, according to the info, it was a pretty decent one,' Gower began.

Scarlett Johansson is pregnant, expecting baby with Colin Jost – Page Six

Scarlett Johansson is pregnant! The Oscar-nominated actress is expecting her first child with husband Colin Jost, multiple sources tell Page Six. One source told us: “Scarlett is actually due soon, I know she and Colin are thrilled.” Another insider added: “Scarlett is pregnant but has been keeping it very quiet. She has been keeping a very low profile.” The “Avengers” star, 36, sparked pregnancy rumors in June after skipping out on several “Black Widow” events. “She hasn’t been doing many interviews or events to promote ‘Black Widow’ which is surprising since it is a huge Marvel/Disney release and she is both the star and an executive producer,” our source explained. Instead, she’s been carrying out promotional appearances via Zoom, appe...

AGT: Simon Cowell breaks shows rules so 9-year-old opera singer could make history – USA TODAY

If you thought you'd seen the last of the Golden Buzzer on "America's Got Talent" this season, think again. Though each judge typically gets one chance to smash the coveted buzzer and send an act straight to the live shows, 9-year-old singer Victory Brinker delivered a performance during Tuesday's episode that warranted a rule change. Though Brinker admitted feeling "exnervous" (excited plus nervous), the young contestant, hailing from Pennsylvania, was all smiles as she strutted onto the "AGT" stage. When judge Simon Cowell asked what she would do with the $1 million grand prize, Brinker offered a simple answer: buy Cowell "a rainbow shirt that has glitter on it." "You need some color," she told the judge, noting his somber, monochromatic wardrobe. When it was time for her to perform, Br...

(AP Photo/David Goldman, File) Video: Officials promise new tactics to convince vaccine hesitant Americans to take shots. TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating the death of a 13-year-old boy who died days after getting his second dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine in Michigan, according to reports.
