Colin Kaepernick Signs First-Look Deal With Walt Disney – Variety

Colin Kaepernick’s journey from San Francisco 49ers quarterback to civil-rights activist will be chronicled in a documentary series developed by ESPN Films as part of a first-look deal between Walt Disney and Kapernick’s Ra Vision Media production company. Under terms of the pact, announced Monday, Disney and Ra Vision will emphasize scripted and unscripted stories that deal with race, social injustice and the quest for equity, and work to showcase directors and producers of color. Disney said the agreement would extend across its units, including Walt Disney Television, ESPN, Hulu, Pixar and The Undefeated, an ESPN venue that focuses on matters of race in sports. Kaepernick is slated to work closely with The Undefeated, which Disney said would expand its portfolio across the co...

Immunity to the coronavirus is fragile and short-lived, immunologist warns – CNBC

It is not a "safe bet" to rely on immunity to Covid-19 as a strategy for coping with the pandemic, one expert has warned, adding that herd immunity strategies were "probably never going to work." Speaking Monday on CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe," Danny Altmann, professor of immunology at Imperial College London, said that in towns and cities where there had been coronavirus infections, only 10% to 15% of the population was likely to be immune. "And immunity to this thing looks rather fragile — it looks like some people might have antibodies for a few months and then it might wane, so it's not looking like a safe bet," he said. "It's a very deceitful virus and immunity to it is very confusing and rather short-lived." He also raised questions about the likely success of so-call...

No COVID-19 resurgence in New York yet, officials say, but if you were at a protest, go get a test, please – USA TODAY

So far, New York has dodged a COVID-19 surge following police-brutality protests last month, but concerns remain that the massive rallies seeded clusters of outbreaks that could linger over coming weeks, experts said. While New York’s COVID-19 infection rate steadily declined since thousands of demonstrators took to the streets daily after George Floyd’s death on May 25, it remains unclear if there has been a coronavirus spread undetected among the mostly young people in the crowds. One key reason is many young people suffer milder or no symptoms of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, which complicates efforts to identify and contain the source of outbreaks, public health experts said. “All it takes is at least one asymptomatic case that could potentially be a super...

More than 70 countries at risk of running out of HIV drugs due to coronavirus pandemic, WHO says – CNBC

Luis Robayo | AFP | Getty Images More than 70 countries warned they are at risk of running out of HIV medication due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a survey conducted by the World Health Organization. Twenty-four countries said they have a "critically low" stock of antiretroviral medicine, or ARVs, largely used as a therapy to treat HIV, or have seen a disruption in their supply chain as a result of the pandemic, the WHO said.  "The findings of this survey are deeply concerning," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement. "Countries ...

U.S. is an “outlier” in global coronavirus fight, former CDC director says – CBS News

Calling the United States an "outlier" among nations that otherwise have been successful in curtailing the spread of the coronavirus, a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that it was a mistake to reopen public spaces, like bars, early, and that the country is paying for that mistake with dramatic spikes in cases and hospitalizations. Dr. Tom Frieden, the president and CEO of Resolve To Save Lives (an initiative that works to prevent epidemics), also responded on"CBS This Morning" to President Donald Trump's comments this weekend that 99 percent of coronavirus cases are "harmless," saying that complications from the virus are not fully understood. Former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden, president and CEO of Resolve to Save Live...

A Kitchen Full of Mac Salad and Mochiko Chicken

There is no singular Hawaiian mac salad recipe—and the same can be said about molded pucks of Spam musubi, cubed shoyu ahi poke, and pork laulau bundled in taro leaves. Tackling the complex cuisines and varied culinary traditions of Hawaii is no easy feat, but the Maui-born, Los Angeles–based author Alana Kysar leaves it up to your interpretation in her influential cookbook, Aloha Kitchen. Bound by the spirit of aloha as a way of life, Kysar notes that many of the iconic dishes we associate with Hawaii’s local cuisine vary from island to island and household to household. As she puts it, “You can’t just assign one ethnic group to local Hawai’i food; it’s the combination that makes it what it is.” The identity of the islands is a complicated one—t...

Psych star Dulé Hill on Hollywood diversity and the legacy of The West Wing – NBC News

In the age of gritty cable TV, “Psych” was an anomaly: a bright and breezy detective comedy with a running gag about pineapples. But the eight-season series enjoyed solid ratings and cultivated a loyal fan base: the “PsychOs.” Dulé Hill, who co-starred as straight-laced sidekick Burton “Gus” Guster, isn't surprised by the show's under-the-radar staying power. “Psych,” he said in a recent Zoom call from his home in Los Angeles, is above all else an “escape” from reality. Hill, 45, has twice returned to the part since the show ended in 2014, first in a 2017 made-for-TV movie and again in a sequel film that debuts July 15 on the Peacock streaming service. (Peacock is a product of NBC News' parent company, NBCUniversal.) The sequel, “Psych 2: Lassie Comes Home,” also marks the triumphant re...

Tom Hanks says it’s a ‘heartbreak’ that his war movie Greyhound is on Apple TV+ – 9to5Mac

Actor Tom Hanks has said that it’s “an absolute heartbreak” that his new war movie, Greyhound, is appearing on Apple TV+ instead of in movie theaters … He made the comment in an interview with the Guardian. Hanks and I are talking through screens, and he is promoting a film that will be streamed on Apple TV+ instead of released in cinemas. Greyhound tells the story of Capt Ernie Krause (Hanks, natch) on his first wartime mission in the Battle of the Atlantic […] Hanks doesn’t just star in Greyhound, he also produced it and wrote the screenplay, adapting it from C S Forester’s novel The Good Shepherd. “My ego has run rampant, Hadley, and it’s all over the picture!” he hoots. Hanks has written films before – the 1996 paean to 60s bands, That Thing You Do!, and 2011’s Larry C...
