WWE Raw results, recap, reactions (July 6, 2020): The workhorses of WWE – Cageside Seats

Bayley and Sasha were the real start to Raw, as the show really began with their presence in the ring. Bayley said that they’re changing the game one show at a time because they never sleep and when you’re a once-in-a-generation talent like they are, everyone comes after you. They’re going to takeover WWE when they win all the titles. Asuka came out and laughed when Sasha called herself Two Belt Banks and said Bayley isn’t ready for Asuka. Bayley said Sasha is going to humiliate her and she’s ready for anyone and anything, so she asks what Asuka’s got for her? Asuka brings out Kairi Sane! Sasha and Bayley continued to prove why they are the workhorses of this company right now. And once again, Bayley put Sasha in a predicament. Okay yes, Sasha did it to Bayley last week, but it ...

Halle Berry apologizes and is no longer considering a transgender role in upcoming film – CNN

Berry apologized after discussing the role over the weekend in an Instagram Live video. "As a cisgender woman, I now understand that I should not have considered this role, and that the transgender community should undeniably have the opportunity to tell their own stories," she wrote on Twitter.

University of Utah researchers discover COVID-19s impact on blood can lead to clots, heart attack, stroke – KSL.com

SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah researchers said they have made an important discovery about how COVID-19 affects the blood of infected patients, potentially leading to dangerous strokes and heart attacks. They discovered COVID-19 triggers changes in blood platelets that could contribute to the onset of heart attacks, strokes and other complications. “I’ve always been interested in platelets, and how platelets change during infection,” said Dr. Robert Campbell, assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah. Campbell was focused on the changes in blood platelets in patients infected with COVID-19. Platelets are the cells that play a role in heart attacks and strokes. When a patient is infected with COVID-19, Campbell said the body has an inflammat...

Here’s one ‘remarkable’ difference between COVID-19 and the 1918 Spanish flu – MarketWatch

The 2020 coronavirus and 1918 Spanish influenza pandemics share many similarities, but they also diverge on one key point. “A major difference between Spanish flu and COVID-19 is the age distribution of fatalities,” according to Deutsche Bank DB, +4.40%. “For COVID-19, the elderly have been overwhelmingly the worst hit. For the Spanish flu of 1918, the young working-age population were severely affected too. In fact, the death rate from pneumonia and influenza that year among 25-34-year-olds in the United States was more than 50% higher than that for 65-74-year-olds. A remarkable difference to Covid-19.” Francis Yared, the global head of rates research at Deutsche Bank, said the overall mortality rate measured by weekly new deaths a...

A Florida teenager who died of the coronavirus attended a party at a church with 100 others just two weeks before her death, a report said Monday.

I May Destroy You doesnt have time for victim-blaming in its fifth episode – The A.V. Club

Weruche Opia (left), Michaela Coel, Paapa EssieduPhoto: Natalie Seery TV ReviewsAll of our TV reviews in one convenient place. Last week, I said Kwame’s attacker purposefully abused him in a way that wasn’t necessarily clear cut. For viewers who aren’t well-versed in the details of anal sex, it might not have been clear that Kwame wasn’t completely penetrated. He searches the internet for the phrase “non-consensual humping” to clear up any confusion for viewers. He tells the police officer that even he wasn’t entirely sure if he was penetrated. These details are uncomfortable, aren’t they? In the end, it shouldn’t matter to what extent Kwame was assaulted, his body was still invaded without his consent. I May Destroy You could gloss over those details, but it stands bravely in th...

Lin-Manuel Miranda responds online to criticism that his musical Hamilton glorifies slave owners – Daily Mail

Hamilton was a penniless orphan from the Caribbean who was so brilliant — and so good at self-promotion — that he rose through the ranks in the Revolutionary War to become George Washington's right-hand man.  In 1780, he married Elizabeth Schuyler, the daughter of a wealthy and influential New York landowner and military officer. The couple went on to have eight children. She was a source of loyalty and stability over the years.  Although it does not appear that Hamilton ever directly owned any slaves himself, he did marry into a prominent New York slaveholding family, and managed slave sales for his wife's family.    It's believed the Schuyler family owned between between 8 and 13 slaves at their Albany, New York estate over the years with a further 15 at the Saratoga, New York home. Th...

Dr. Anthony Fauci warns US is knee-deep in first wave of coronavirus cases and prognosis is really not good – USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Monday that the United States' handle on the coronavirus outbreak is “really not good” and that action is needed to curb the spread. In an interview via Facebook Live, the nation's top infectious disease expert said, "We are still knee-deep in the first wave of this. And I would say, this would not be considered a wave. It was a surge, or a resurgence of infections superimposed upon a baseline." New cases in the U.S. have reached record highs, climbing to around 50,000 a day. Nearly 3 million Americans have contracted the virus, with more than 130,000 deaths, according to data from John Hopkins University. Fauci, speaking online with the National Institutes of Health, linked som...
