Breaking Down Episode 4 of ‘Succession’ – The Ringer

Television’s most miserable wealthy family is back to fight over control of Waystar Royco, and The Ringer will be following their scheming every step of the way. Each week, we’ll break down the biggest developments, track who’s leading the literal line of succession, and catalog each episode’s most savage burns, best Cousin Greg–isms, and more. Let’s continue with the fourth episode, “Lion in the Meadow.” Succession’s Line of Succession, Week 4 The Waystar shareholder meeting looms large over Succession’s third season—with each passing episode, it draws nearer. While it’s unclear how much time has elapsed this season—seriously, how many weeks has it been since Kendall’s bombshell press conference?—the FBI raid of the Waystar premises couldn’t have come at a worse time for the co...

Pregnant women with COVID-19 face higher rates of severe illness and preterm birth. Why are so few vaccinated? – The Boston Globe

The 31-year-old Waltham mother trusted her doctor but succumbed to pressure from others. She declined the shot. “There was not one supportive person, other than the doctor,” she said. Piantedosi regrets her decision — but it was far from unusual. At the time, last spring, fewer than 1 in 10 pregnant women in the United States received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. As of Oct. 30, the rate had climbed to 1 in 4, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among expectant Black women, the rate is 16 percent, up from 11 percent in August. In contrast, 58 percent of the US population is fully vaccinated. Massachusetts health officials do not track vaccinations in pregnancy. With a higher vaccination rate overall in the state — 70 percent — the numbers might be h...

NBA to players, coaches, refs: Booster shots are recommended – NBA.com

MIAMI (AP) — The NBA told its players, coaches and referees on Sunday that they should receive booster shots against the coronavirus, with particular urgency for those who received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The league and the National Basketball Players Association — working jointly based on guidance from the NBA’s public health and infectious disease experts — said those who received Johnson & Johnson shots more than two months ago should get a booster. The booster recommendation also was made for those who received the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine at least six months ago. The league recommendations, which were obtained by The Associated Press, called for those who got Johnson & Johnson vaccines originally to seek a Pfizer or Moderna booster. Those who got ...

She Died With Long Covid. Should Her Organs Have Been Donated? – The New York Times

Covid-19 ravaged Heidi Ferrer’s body and soul for over a year, and in May the “Dawson’s Creek” screenwriter killed herself in Los Angeles. She had lost all hope. “I’m so sorry,” she said in a goodbye video to her husband and son. “I would never do this if I was well. Please understand. Please forgive me.” Her husband, Nick Guthe, a writer and director, wanted to donate her body to science. But the hospital said it was not his decision to make because Ms. Ferrer, 50, had signed up to be an organ donor. So specialists recovered several organs from the body before disconnecting her from a ventilator. Mr. Guthe worried that following his wife’s lengthy illness, her organs may not have been safe to donate to other patients. “I thought that they would kill the people they gave these organs to,...
