While talking about how to protect the high-risk members of society, some have offered medical advice. There is hope that multiple rounds of vaccine and the emergence of pre-exposure prophylaxis and monoclonal antibody regimens can afford protections, but this is still speculative—and in limited supply. While scientific advancements improve the outlook, the current status is that many people—an estimated 1 in 37 adults—are still at extreme risk. Missing from the narrative on “protecting the vulnerable” is exactly how to help the immunocompromised with functions of daily living....

Protesters have been camping out for months to prevent the eviction of the Kinney family but on Tuesday morning, tensions escalated and protesters used fences and barricades set up by law enforcement officials to surround the home, which has been named the “Red House on Mississippi” due to it’s location on Mississippi Ave. in North Portland. Zane Sparling of the Portland Tribune shared photos and videos on Twitter of the autonomous zone set up around the home....

His massive daily task list includes building democracy in what by all accounts was a failed state, reasserting control over two secessionist regions supported by neighboring Russia, rescuing the economy from Moscow’s trade embargo and reorienting his country toward NATO and the West. If that weren’t enough, he has also been conducting the world’s most radical experiment in economic reform. Last week, Saakashvili’s juggling act came crashing to the ground....

The demonstrations follow civil unrest earlier this month and large-scale protests that broke out last summer as frustration grows with the ruling Communist Party. Residents assembled in the streets on Monday night, according to reports, to chant their demands, crying out: “Freedom! Freedom!” The entire country was plunged into darkness for days after it was battered by Hurricane Ian on September 27, with residents blaming the government for the infrastructure’s collapse and accusing officials of responding too slowly to fix it....

Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 crashed shortly after leaving Imam Khomeini International Airport in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Wednesday. It came days after President Donald Trump ordered a drone strike in Iraq to kill Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, on January 3, escalating tensions between the countries.

Pedro: Perfect Costa happy at Chelsea He sparked a storm ahead of an away date with Leicester City when reports emerged of an apparent big-money offer from China and a training ground bust-up with fitness coach Julio Tous. Costa played no part against the Foxes, but claims of a back complaint laying him low did little to curb the rumours surrounding his future....

Due to the shelter-in-place/shelter-at-home orders and strained economic circumstances, the petition argues that the streaming giants should drop their monthly charges. This way, Americans can remain occupied while isolating without worrying about the added stress of membership fees. “During a worldwide viral pandemic, social distancing and personal quarantine is vitally important to stem the risk of spreading disease,” the petition, created by Philip Kolas, read. “Many people are turning to their streaming services to alleviate their monotony....

It’s no secret that the cornerstone of Kentucky Fried Chicken’s success is its elusive 11 herbs and spices, supposedly crafted by the Colonel himself. The KFC’s website claims the colonel, aka Harland Sanders, “perfected” the unique blend in 1939, where it’s remained a closely guarded secret ever since. But it seems whoever is running their official Twitter account has taken a novel approach to the secretive seasoning mix, as TikToker Mitchell Coombs pointed out....

A council report on the vote discusses a number of times throughout history that people have protested against standing for the anthem—after World War I, during World War II “and every war thereafter.” “During the 1968 summer Olympics awards ceremony, Black US athletes raised their gloved fist as a political statement against racism. In 2016, professional football athletes began kneeling and sitting during the playing of the national anthem as a means of protesting police brutality,” the report says....

Patrick Almonor, deputy mayor of Cap-Haïtien, told the Associated Press that officials believe the accident happened because the truck was trying not to hit a motorcycle. This is the latest in a string of nationwide hardships, including a fuel shortage spiking up gas prices and causing some gas stations, schools and other businesses to temporarily close. The BBC also reported that Haiti’s fuel shortage is also attributed to powerful gangs seizing control of the fuel distribution around the country....

One potential blind spot: How seemingly neutral interventions overlook and even undermine women’s essential needs. As we now scramble to enforce extreme adjustments to ensure our collective health, from curfews to closures, it is women who absorb the most collateral harm—who are least likely to weather an uncertain economy and most likely to bear the burden of caring for others, children and the elderly alike. It is not an understatement to say that this pandemic will have a grave impact on the women of America....

This information—laid out in a study published recently in the Journal of Environmental Management—may be particularly beneficial to skywatchers who want to find the best viewing spots for the spectacular Perseid meteor shower, which is currently in full swing. According to the study, the pristine skies are mostly found in rural parts of the western U.S. and Alaska, The Washington Post reported. However, some regions in the far north of the country also boast pristine skies—such as parts of Maine, Minnesota and Michigan—in addition to large areas off Hawaii....

Each year, PETA spokesperson Moira Colley told Newsweek, the group “receives literally hundreds of furs from people who didn’t realize how cruel and violent this industry is. But now, they want to do something, instead of putting their fur back in storage.” While PETA is squarely against the fur industry or any other that relies on harm to animals, including the leather industry, Colley said the fact is that “we can’t bring back the rabbits and the foxes that have already been caged and electrocuted for their fur....

“The ultimate amplifier on this kind of hate is the bully pulpit of the White House,” Buttigieg, who is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said on MSNBC news on Sunday. “This is a question of leadership,” he continued. “Will the president of the United States leave his golf resort, go back to Washington, address the nation, condemn—in no uncertain terms—white nationalism as an evil ideology that is inspiring some people to commit murder?...
