Nothing says “Rebellion” quite like paying Disney $5,000 to sleep in a Star Wars theme hotel – The A.V. Club

Star Wars: Galaxy’s EdgePhoto: Gerardo Mora (Getty Images) If Star Wars has a higher point behind all the fun laser sword fights and last-name-based drama, it’s in the dreams that it’s inspired. Dreams like those of the hoteliers of the Disney company, who dared to ask if they could charge chumps $5,000 for a two-night hotel stay in a fake cruise boat that looks kind of like a spaceship. And reader? Those dreams came true. This is per THR, reporting on the release of a new trailer today for Galactic Starcruiser, Walt Disney World Resorts’ latest attempt to leverage the Star Wars brand for the greater galactic good of the Walt Disney Corporation. The “Oh, fuck this!” part comes early and obviously, when you dip into the pricing for packages for the 2-night vacation destination, which s...

If we do not all get vaccinated, the next Covid-19 variant is just around the corner, expert says – CNN

"The next variant is just around the corner, if we do not all get vaccinated," Adm. Brett Giroir, the former coronavirus testing czar under Pres. Trump, told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "I just beg the American people to understand that to defeat this virus, we have to get everybody's level of immunity up, and that's just the way it is," he added. In the coming weeks, surges will likely reach all across the US, not just areas with low vaccination rates, former CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said Wednesday. The outbreaks, however, will not be as explosive in areas with higher vaccination coverage, Frieden added. As cases increase, hospitalizations and deaths will likely rise as well, according to ensemble forecasts published Wednesday by the CDC. The forecast predicts a total of 624,000 to 642,0...

Can I get long COVID if Im infected after vaccination? – Associated Press

Can I get ‘long COVID’ if I’m infected after vaccination? It’s unclear, but researchers are studying the chances of long-term symptoms developing in anyone who might get infected after vaccination. The COVID-19 vaccines in use around the world are effective at preventing severe illness and death from the coronavirus, but some people do get infected after the shots. With such “breakthrough” cases, health experts say the vaccines should help lessen the severity of any illness people experience. But researchers are also looking at whether those breakthrough cases could lead to long COVID-19, which is when people experience persistent, returning or new symptoms a month or more after an infection. The condition can develop after severe initial infections or even in those who initially had mi...

Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts sitting out bands US tour – Fox News

Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, who has been with the band since 1963, is likely to miss their upcoming U.S. tour this fall, according to reports.  Watts turned 80 in June and is "unlikely to be available" for the band's upcoming "No Filter" tour of U.S. stadiums after undergoing an unspecified medical procedure, according to a Stones spokesperson.  "Charlie has had a procedure which was completely successful, but his doctors this week concluded that he now needs proper rest and recuperation," the spokesperson said, according to Variety. "With rehearsals starting in a couple of weeks it’s very disappointing to say the least, but it’s also fair to say no one saw this coming."

Royal Family news – Meghan takes swipe at firm in b-day video, newest royal member pictured and Queen s… – The US Sun

HOW DOES HBO’S THE PRINCE PORTRAY THE ROYAL FAMILY? The animated series is set from the prospective of 8-year-old Prince George, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge's eldest child, and the future heir to the British throne. Created by Gary Janetti, the show is based off of his meme page of the young Prince and pokes fun at the royals and mocks most of the family members. In the show, Prince George is portrayed as a sassy and effete royal commentator. Following the release of the show, it was met with both praise and criticism following the use of Prince George as their main character. "Bottom line, children are off limits," women's rights activist and author Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu said on Good Morning Britain. “Creating a parody to poke fun at an 8-year-old is...

Michigan bumps up to substantial community transmission for COVID-19 on CDC map – Detroit Free Press

Michigan joined the ranks of nearly a third of the states in the U.S. on Wednesday with substantial community transmission for COVID-19, with more than half of the state's 83 counties now falling into the categories of substantial or high levels of community transmission. Pretty much every county in southern Michigan was listed as having substantial community transmission for the virus, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID-19 tracker. Last week, the CDC updated its guidance that even vaccinated people in areas of substantial and high transmission should wear masks in indoor public spaces and be tested if they are exposed to someone with a suspected or confirmed case of the coronavirus. But, currently, there are no plans for a statewide mask requirement ...

COVID in Louisiana shows consequences of Delta variant, low vaccination rate – Reuters

NEW ORLEANS, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Low vaccination rates and the more infectious Delta variant are converging to create a new COVID-19 crisis for Louisiana as the United States and the world face the latest stage of the pandemic. Thomas Madden said his 13-year-old son, Gabriel, was fighting back. Madden brought Gabriel to the Lakeside Shopping Center in a New Orleans suburb this week for a vaccine at a site run by Ochsner Health System, Louisiana’s largest not-for-profit provider. “This Delta variant has freaked my wife out,” Madden said as he waited with Gabriel in the indoor mall just after he received his shot. “But it was really up to him - he wanted to get it as he was getting a little nervous about school starting soon.” Many people were wearing masks at Lakeside Shopping Center.
