Tom Hanks says coronavirus made his bones feel like soda crackers – New York Post

While promoting his new war flick “Greyhound” on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” Tuesday night, Tom Hanks revealed that he and wife Rita Wilson experienced vastly different symptoms during their much-publicized bout with the coronavirus in March. The pair had both tested positive during a break from shooting Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic in Australia, but have since recovered. During the virtual interview, the 64-year-old told host Stephen Colbert his bones “felt like they were made of soda crackers,” over the eight or nine day recuperation period. “Every time I moved around I felt like something was cracking inside,” described the Oscar Winner, who also reported feeling “bone-crushing fatigue” and soreness. Meanwhile, Wilson, 63, reportedly experienced a high f...

NBCs Peacock Is the Netflix Alternative I’ve Been Waiting For – Gizmodo

Photo: Sam Rutherford/Gizmodo I don’t know about you, but I’ve maxed out my capacity to care about late-to-the-party streaming services. New rollouts have debuted at a breakneck clip in the last year, leaving us with a dizzying number of subscription streaming options—many of which, to be frank, aren’t worth any amount of money. But with its fresh-faced streaming service Peacock, NBCUniversal has created the Netflix rival others have tried (and failed) to produce. Peacock is an easy-to-use, binge-worthy service that offers a free tier with plenty of high-quality content, in addition to premium tiers, one of which is a totally ad-free option. One of the best things about the new service is the fact that it leaves the overall experience up to the user. The free tier offers roughly ha...

Citing Educational Risks, Scientific Panel Urges That Schools Reopen – The New York Times

Wading into the contentious debate over reopening schools, an influential committee of scientists and educators on Wednesday recommended that, wherever possible, younger children and those with special needs should attend school in person. Their report — issued by the prestigious National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, which advises the nation on issues related to science — is less prescriptive for middle and high schools, but offered a framework for school districts to decide whether and how to open, with help from public health experts, families and teachers. The committee emphasized common-sense precautions, such as hand-washing, physical distancing and minimizing group activities, including lunch and recess. But the experts went further than guidelines issued by ...
