Spread of the Delta variant may make it even harder to reach herd immunity, expert says – CNN

"We don't exactly know what the herd immunity percentage would be for Covid-19. It would be different for the Delta variant, and higher, because it is more transmissible," Dr. Rachel Levine told CNN's Ana Cabrera on Friday. "But we know ... that people who are vaccinated are protected against this Delta variant. And they're extremely unlikely to get sick and it's virtually impossible for them to require hospitalizations," said Levine, who is the assistant secretary at the US Department of Health and Human Services. Estimates vary on how much of the population needs to have immunity to reach that goal. Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has said herd immunity might be reached if 70-85% of people are immune. Variant accounting for greate...

Kevin Smiths new Masters Of The Universe trailer has the power of looking pretty kickass – The A.V. Club

Masters Of The Universe: RevelationImage: Netflix We first got a glimpse of Kevin Smith’s new Masters Of The Universe series, Revelation, back in June, when Netflix released a teaser trailer for the show—which picks up several years after the original ’80s cartoon, in a world where Teela (Sarah Michelle Gellar) has to get the band back together after a climactic battle between He-Man (Chris Wood) and Skeletor (Mark Hamill) came very close to blowing up Eternia for good. From that teaser, we could confirm that, yes, He-Man is still looking buff, cars that look like sharks still kick ass, and no one can resist the effects of a Bonnie Tyler/Jim Steinman power ballad. Now, though, the streamer has released a more full trailer for the series, which is set to debut its first five episodes o...

COVID-19 cases rising in California, health officals report – KSBY San Luis Obispo News

The California Department of Public Health released new numbers this week showing higher rates of COVID-19. Central Coast doctors say many people contracting COVID-19 are not vaccinated. “In the last couple of weeks, I’ve definitely seen people with COVID complaints and their tests are coming out positive,” said Twin Cities Community Hospital Emergency Room Chair, Cinnamon Redd. As of July 1, the seven-day positivity rate for COVID-19 is at 1.4% in California. Just two weeks prior, it was 0.7%. “Fortunately, a lot of them are young people who tend to do well from COVID. We actually have had a few hospitalizations as well,” said Redd. And as of July 1, over 41 million vaccine doses have been administered statewide. Others who choose not to get the vaccine have been seen recently with risin...

When Zola becomes “@Stefani”: The filmmakers and Zola herself explain the unforgettable scene – The A.V. Club

As far as adaptations go, Zola is remarkably faithful to its source material, the 148-tweet thread known as #TheStory. When director Janicza Bravo and her co-writer Jeremy O. Harris came on board to translate the words of A’Ziah “Zola” King to the screen, they set out to preserve her voice, her agency, in the too-wild-to-be-true odyssey she initially shared with the world. (King also served as an executive producer on the film.) Clearly enamored with King as a person and a storyteller, Bravo and Harris treat #TheStory as scripture, and Zola is the stylish vessel for her hallowed words. In doing so, Zola’s “Zola” (Taylour Paige) operates as both author and audience surrogate—the film almost never leaves her side as we watch her process the events that are spiraling out of control around ...

Cop tried to use a Taylor Swift song to keep protestor video off YouTube – Engadget

It seems more and more law enforcement agents are trying to use online platforms' copyright-takedown measures to prevent videos that show them in a bad light from being shared online. A California police officer has tried to use the tactic on a BLM protestor at the Alameda Country courthouse by playing Taylor Swift's Blank Space, as reported by The Washington Post and Variety. His attempt failed, though, and it even backfired spectacularly: The video has almost 800,000 views on Twitter as of this writing, as well as 300,000 views on YouTube.  The protestor was at the courthouse for the pretrial hearing of Jason Fletcher, the police officer charged with voluntary manslaughter for killing Steven Taylor, a Black man, inside a Walmart. In the video posted by the Anti Police-Terror Projec...
