Bryan Cranston, Star of ‘Breaking Bad,’ Says He’s Recovered from the Coronavirus – The New York Times

The “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston revealed on Thursday that he had recovered from the coronavirus and shared a video of himself donating plasma at a Los Angeles blood bank.

Investigation underway into death of 2 Mission Foods workers who tested positive for COVID-19 – KABC-TV

COMMERCE, Calif. (KABC) -- An investigation is underway following the death of two employees of Mission Foods, one of three food-processing facilities in Los Angeles County ordered to temporarily shut down after outbreaks of COVID-19. Alisha Alvarez had identified one of the workers who died as her 67-year-old father, Jose Alvarez. He was one of more than 40 workers who tested positive for the virus at the Commerce facility. In late June, he told his family and employer that he felt ill and ended up going to the hospital. "We were scared for him in particular because he had diabetes, because he had high blood pressure and he assured us that he was making sure he himself was safe," his daughter said. "You know, he always had his mask on, he always had his gloves on." On July 5, his daugh...

A coronavirus outbreak has hit USC’s fraternity row, where about 40 people tested positive for COVID-19, USC Student Health’s chief health officer Dr. Sarah Van Orman told the Los Angeles Times. “A significant number of the cases were associated with four fraternity houses,” Van Orman said.

Over some simple chord changes from a vintage soft synth, Eilish begins the song in a quiet, museful mode. This is AMSR Billie — but also jazz Billie, moving beyond teen sta...
