President Trump has a chummy July 4 chat with the queen as his calls to world leaders come under fire – USA TODAY

Queen Elizabeth II is still tops in President Donald Trump's estimation, judging from their latest exchange.  The president and the one woman world leader he seems to admire most spoke by phone Tuesday, according to the White House and Buckingham Palace, although neither was clear about who called whom.  It seems she wanted to chat ahead of the July 4 holiday, as part of a series of calls she's been making to other world leaders by phone. He wanted to wish her a belated happy birthday. They talked about what British and American leaders always talk about – their countries' long-hailed "special relationship" – and about their cooperation in fighting coronavirus and reopening the world economy devastated by the pandemic. By both accounts it was a friendly and polite exchange. The queen ...

Be Careful, You Might Be Watching the Liam Hemsworth of Extraction Movies on Netflix – Gizmodo

Image: Netflix/Lionsgate Fellow film streamers, should you find yourself looking for something to stream amid the muck of the overwhelmingly mediocre titles available on Netflix, I strongly advise against relying solely on the algorithmically driven top 10 trending carousels to inform your viewing options. If you do, you may find yourself confusing the seemingly okay Netflix original Extraction with a 2015 title by the same name which has rocketed to the 9th position on Netflix’s Top 10 Movies in the United States. The older Extraction that is currently trending among the top 10 movies on Netflix at the moment, as noted by Business Insider, stars Bruce Willis and Kellan Lutz and appears to have landed on Netflix this week. Based on my limited research, the film centers on the kidnap...

Sex and the City Star Jason Lewis Debuts Rugged New Look: See His Transformation! – E! NEWS

A transformation that would make Samantha Jones swoon! Today, actor Jason Lewis stopped by Channel Seven's The Morning Show on Australian television to discuss his charitable partnership with Best Buddies. However, as Lewis discussed his breakout role on Sex and the City, we could not help but notice the 49-year-old's rugged transformation. As fans of the show surely know, Lewis, who played Kim Cattrall's character's love interest and client Smith Jerrod in the series and films, was best known for his gorgeous, long blond locks and piercing blue eyes. Yet, today, Lewis donned a far more clean-cut and brunette look. On top of some dark scruff and a mustache, Lewis rocked a shorter, darker hairdo. Although his new look is different, it's safe to say it's equally handsome. Smith Jerrod, who?...

New testing can detect COVID-19 in 45 minutes using saliva, blood or urine, Michigan hospital says – MLive.com

An adapted testing method could eliminate the need for uncomfortable nasal passage swabs, reduce costs and increase mobility of testing used to detect the coronavirus, says Metro Detroit’s Beaumont Health, whose researchers developed the testing methods. Beaumont Health researchers Dr. Laura Lamb and Dr. Michael Chancellor developed a testing technique to detect COVID-19 in under 45 minutes using urine, blood, saliva or mouth-swab samples, Royal Oak’s Beaumont Health said in a statement issued Wednesday, July 1. The doctors developed technology for rapid testing of the Zika virus nearly three years ago and applied the methods for use in COVID-19 testing. “Compared to existing technology,” study results using the methods have been “highly accurate” and are “relatively inexpensive to dev...

Cases spike in Sunbelt, other states back off on reopening – WRAL.com

By JAKE COYLE and JONATHAN J. COOPER, Associated Press PHOENIX — California closed bars, theaters and indoor restaurant dining all over again across most of the state Wednesday, and Arizona's outbreak grew more severe by nearly every measure as the surging coronavirus crisis across the South and West sent a shudder through the country. The run-up in confirmed cases has been blamed in part on what's been called "knucklehead behavior” by Americans not wearing masks or obeying social-distancing rules as economies reopened from coast to coast over the past two months. “The bottom line is the spread of this virus continues at a rate that is particularly concerning,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in dramatically expanding th...

138 coronavirus (COVID-19) cases now linked to outbreak at East Lansing bar – WDIV ClickOnDetroit

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Health officials have now linked 138 cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) to an outbreak at a bar in East Lansing. On June 23, officials said more than a dozen people who visited Harper’s Restaurant and Brew Pub has tested positive for COVID-19. In just eight days, that number has ballooned by more than 100 confirmed cases. The Harper’s coronavirus outbreak has greatly contributed to the entire Lansing Region -- which includes Clinton, Eaton, Gratiot, Ingham and Shiawassee counties -- being moved to the “high risk” category of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s MI Safe Start Map. The seven-day average of cases per million population rose from 4.9 on June 13 to over 50 last weekend. Of the 138 people who have tested positive, 119 of them visited Harper’s, officials said. The age...

NY county subpoenas people who wont talk to contact tracers – Fox News

Officials in New York are threatening fines and said subpoenas are being issued to a group of partygoers to compel them to speak with health officials about a gathering that could be responsible for a cluster of coronavirus infections.
