Larry David says he was relieved to be uninvited from Barack Obamas controversial 60th birthday party – Fox News

Larry David says he was nothing short of relieved to be uninvited to Barack Obama’s lavish 60th birthday party last weekend.  The former president held a star-studded bash on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts to celebrate another trip around the sun. Although celebrities such as Don Cheadle, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Beyonce and more were in attendance, the large and highly criticized bash was actually scaled back significantly due to concerns over large gatherings posed by the coronavirus.   One person who was apparently thrilled to have his invite taken away was the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star. In a statement to The New York Times’ opinion columnist Maureen Dowd, the 74-year-old, who has a home on the island, explained that he feared he would be asked to perform comedy at the eve...

The US health care system is breaking, expert says as Covid-19 hospitalizations for people in their 30s hit new high – CNN

The rate of new Covid-19 hospitalizations among people in their 30s increased by nearly 300% over the past month, according to an analysis of data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New Covid-19 hospital admissions among people between the ages of 30 and 39 are now the highest since the pandemic began, eclipsing the prior record seen in January, according to the data. The alarming uptick is stretching health resources thin as many hospitals struggle to meet the demand of those who need crucial medical care.

Top Pick The White Lotus (HBO, 9 p.m.): For a quick recap, may we suggest re-reading “The Lotos-Eaters,” by Alfred Lord Tennyson, which was featured in last week’s episode: Why are we weigh’d upon with heaviness, And utterly consumed with sharp distress,While all things else have rest from weariness?…Hateful is the dark-blue sky,Vaulted o’er the dark-blue sea.Death is the end of life; ah, whyShould life all labour be?Let us alone.
