The Swamp remains undrained in this trailer for HBOs new political documentary – The A.V. Club

Screenshot: HBO Get Me Roger Stone was one of the most revealing and infuriating documentaries of the last several years, with filmmakers Daniel DiMauro and Morgan Pehme unpacking how its subject’s history of “dirty tricks” are as effective in the political sphere as they are immoral. Now the duo’s using their access to infiltrate Congress, as their upcoming HBO documentary The Swamp focuses specifically on three Republican Congressmen and their individual views on what it means to “drain the swamp.” Thomas Massie (R-KY), Ken Buck (R-CO), and the Quagmire-like Matt Gaetz (R-FL) serve as the vessels for the film’s year-long dig into how the American political system “rewards fundraising above all else.” And, per one talking head, “Politics of hate is the most productive technique fo...

Its too late for masks alone to turn the tide on coronavirus. Why the U.S. needs to lock down hot spots right away. – Yahoo News

LOS ANGELES — Masks are necessary to combat America’s resurgent coronavirus pandemic. But at this point, they may no longer be enough.  Patterns that have emerged in countries that are faring much better than the United States suggest we won’t bring the virus to heel until we start locking down hot spots as well. On Wednesday, Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tweeted: “I believe if everyone, including #Millenials and #GenZ, wear[s] a cloth face covering for the next 4 to 6 weeks, we can get the #COVID19 epidemic under control.” Redfield’s comments went viral. See? the signal boosters seemed to say. If the rest of you would just behave yourselves, this thing could be over by Labor Day.  In response, Carl Bergstrom, a professor of biology at t...

Newsom reopened California before meeting testing standards – Los Angeles Times

A month into his stay-at-home order and under pressure to lift restrictions, Gov. Gavin Newsom drew a line in the sand: In order to safely reopen and suppress the coronavirus, California needed to be able to test everyone with COVID-19 symptoms and trace the contacts of confirmed cases. “The most important framework is our capacity to expand our testing to appropriately address the tracing and tracking of individuals, the isolation and the quarantine of individuals,” the governor said of his thresholds for reopening at an April 14 news conference. But three weeks later, Newsom began reopening businesses before meeting his own benchmarks. Now, the governor has once again ordered closures as California surpasses 350,000 COVID-19 cases. Hospitalizations have more than doubled and deaths h...

Inside Johnson & Johnson’s Nonstop Hunt for a Coronavirus Vaccine – The New York Times

Each workday morning in March, Noe Mercado drove through the desolate streets of Boston to a tall glass building on Blackfan Circle, in the heart of the city’s biotech hub. Most residents had gone into hiding from the coronavirus, but Mr. Mercado had an essential job: searching for a vaccine against this new, devastating pathogen. Parking in the underground lot, he put on a mask and rode the empty elevator to the tenth floor, joining a skeleton crew at the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Day after day, Mr. Mercado sat at his lab bench, searching for signs of the virus in nasal swabs taken from dozens of monkeys. The animals had been injected with experimental vaccines Mr. Mercado had helped create. The monkeys then had been exposed to the...
