76 coronavirus cases have been linked to one Michigan bar – CBS News

People who went to a bar in Michigan at any point during a recent 9-day period have been asked to self-quarantine after dozens who visited the establishment contracted the coronavirus. So far, 76 COVID-19 cases have been linked to the bar, Harper's Restaurant & Brewpub in East Lansing, the Ingham County Health Department said in a tweet on Friday. The number of cases connected to the bar has rapidly climbed. Thirty-four cases were linked to it on Wednesday — a number that has now more than doubled and is likely to rise again, according to officials. On Wednesday, the health department urged anyone who visited the establishment between June 12 and June 20 to self-quarantine for 14 days from the day of their visit. All of those who had tested positive as of Wednesday's announcement ...

Actual Coronavirus Infections Vastly Undercounted, C.D.C. Data Shows – The New York Times

The number of coronavirus infections in many parts of the United States is more than 10 times higher than the reported rate, according to data released on Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The analysis is part of a wide-ranging set of surveys started by the C.D.C. to estimate how widely the virus has spread. Similar studies, sponsored by universities, national governments and the World Health Organization, are continuing all over the world. The C.D.C. study found, for instance, that in South Florida, just under 2 percent of the population had been exposed to the virus as of April 10, but the proportion is likely to be higher now given the surge of infections in the state. The prevalence was highest in New York City at nearly 7 percent as of April 1. “This study un...

Rocket Science

Sports & Fitness Why and when did you decide to venture into the food retail business? I pursued a Master of Science degree in nutrition and exercise physiology from Columbia University because this is something I’ve always been passionate about — I was a student athlete and loved working out. I also grew up with disordered eating, which is different from eating disorders. I was very uncomfortable around food, and I think a lot of women will be able to relate to that. Let’s just say that we are not always able to make decisions about food in a very neutral way. What’s cool about the programme is its liberal arts approach to nutrition, which is not a yes or no thing. Nutrition is a behaviour, an...

Gucci Comes Full Circle With Its First-Ever Sustainable Campaign, Off The Grid

Luxury & Brands Text by Sadaf Shaikh Before Alessandro Michele came on as creative director in 2015, Gucci was part of an elite brands’ club, speaking to a tiny percentage of ‘the haves’, in the lofty way that most fashion houses are known to communicate with their target audience. Michele, however, turned out to be Gucci’s Noah — the messiah who salvaged the elements which contributed to the brand’s success while allowing anything that was archaic to metaphorically sink to the bottom — and paved the way for a new system of existing in the fashion realm. In the last few years, luxury brands have been forced to interact with consumers in more meaningful ways and few have managed to go mainstream as effortlessly as Gucci has. Michele...

Switching Gears

Travel All Images by EFly Tours Team My presumably garden-variety tourist persona falls squarely between the overachieving hyperactives and the mellow leisure seekers. As much as I take pleasure in checking off every item on an itinerary, I also find it intensely frustrating that this triumph seems to be preconditioned by the tensions of racing against the clock. From the time-crunched tourist’s perspective today, Hampi could strike one as having been sadistically engineered to set in motion that dreaded FOMO. As the transcendent ruins of its ancient empires fan out over almost 42 square kilometres from the central Virupaksha Temple, to organise a three-day trip there requires considerable premeditation and a fair grasp of the art of e...

Notes to Self

Columns Illustrations by Kashmira Sarode IN THE MIND OF A TIGERJanaki Lenin This story is loosely based on the real-life misadventures of a tiger that walked from Nagarhole to Bandipur in 2019. I was afraid it would come to this. That I would become a captive. At least I didn’t get killed. That’s all that matters. I’m fed on time, and none of the humans seems to bear any ill will considering everything that’s happened. I’ve heard some crazy stories about me, so let me set the record straight since I have all the time in the world now. First of all, my rival, that puffed-up two-faced gib, did not chase me away. I was merely bored with the tedium. Every day, walk the same path, s...

Bouquet Garni Recipe

What is Bouquet Garni and How to Use It In Your Recipes When I hear a recipe call for bouquet garni, I immediately think of a bouquet of flowers. I know what it is, use it often when preparing soups and stews, but often get comments from readers asking more about it. The term bouquet garni is French for “garnished bouquet” and consists of a variety of herbs that can be tied into a bundle especially when fresh or placed in some cheesecloth and tied with some kitchen twine. I even bought little cheesecloth pouches especially made for bouquet garni. Pronunciation of Bouquet Garni This is one of those terms that you may or may not be familiar with but is fun to say.

Summer Pork Loin Chops Recipe

How to Cook Those Pork Chops You Found at the Bottom of Your Freezer By Meg Jones - wife, mother,professional, contributor When our youngest daughter was born 10 weeks early, we invested in a deep freezer for storing breast milk. Over time, the inventory of breast milk diminished and the supply of who-knows-what took over. Between trips to Costco and our Foodsaver that vacuum-seals anything and everything, sometimes our freezer becomes a bit of a mess. So when we first started quarantining, my once little preemie, now 20, and I teamed up to create an inventory of what was in the freezer for our meal planning. I was surprised at how many pork loin chops we were storing in our freezer, since we are not big pork eaters (the exception being bacon). When I was a ...

Chocolate Three Layer Cake Recipe

Birthday Chocolate 3-Layer Cake For My Husband By Meg Jones - wife, mother,professional, contributor The Reluctant Gourmet is not much of a dessert person, but he does have two favorites: key lime pie and pineapple upside down cake. So for his birthday recently, we made him a chocolate three layer cake (!). “What were we thinking?” you ask. We were thinking that we, the makers and bakers of the dessert, prefer chocolate. So that was the deciding factor that tilted the scale toward what ended up being quite a journey. Maddie found a recipe that she thought was pretty interesting and I thought was a lot of effort. I tend to shy away from making layer cakes, mostly because the icing never ends up looking the way I think it should. Past Attempts My other ...
