    Report: Bruce Willis asked to leave store for refusing to wear mask

    upload_2021-1-13_5-23-35.png
    Bruce Willis was kicked out of a Los Angeles Rite Aid over the weekend after refusing to wear a face covering, new reports allege.

    The claims seems to be backed up by photos, which show Bruce, 65, inside the store maskless.

    WHO team arrives in Wuhan to search for pandemic origins

    WUHAN, China (AP) — A global team of researchers arrived Thursday in the Chinese city where the coronavirus pandemic was first detected to conduct a politically sensitive investigation into its origins amid uncertainty about whether Beijing might try to prevent embarrassing discoveries.

    The 10-member team sent to Wuhan by the World Health Organization was approved by President Xi Jinping's government after months of diplomatic wrangling that prompted an unusual public complaint by the head of the WHO. They arrived Thursday, state media CGTN reported on Thursday.

    Chinese ice cream contaminated with COVID-19, report says

    During routine government testing recently, three samples from a northern China ice cream company came back positive for COVID-19.

    Officials now believe that 4,836 boxes of the ice cream may have been contaminated — more than half of which had already been distributed for sale when the test results came back, Sky News reported Friday.

    Only 2,089 boxes of ice cream could be confiscated in time, the report said.

    I also heard her say that the charts presented were not the ones she created... which leads me to ask why didn't she just quit knowing she was being used as a tool? Must have been some BIG paycheck for her, eh?

    6.5 million people have been vaccinated since Joe Biden took office, exceeding his goal of reaching 100,000,000 doses by the end of his first 100 days in office.

    Daily Covid Toll in U.S. Remains Enormous, but Cases Are Falling

    The past few weeks in the United States have been the deadliest of the coronavirus pandemic, and residents in a majority of counties remain at an extremely high risk of contracting the virus.
    At the same time, transmission seems to be slowing throughout the country, with the number of new average cases 40 percent lower on Jan. 29 than at the U.S. peak three weeks earlier.

    Other indicators reinforce the current downward trend in cases. Hospitalizations are down significantly from record highs in early January. The number of tests per day has also decreased,
    which can obscure the virus’s true toll, but the positivity rate of those tests has also gone down, indicating the slowed spread is real. Still, the average reported daily death rate over the past seven days remains above 3,000,
    compared with less than 1,000 per day in September and October.

    Wisconsin pharmacist who 'destroyed Moderna vials' is flat-Earther

    A Wisconsin pharmacist accused of deliberately destroying vials of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine is a flat-Earther and 'very engaged in conspiracy theories', say colleagues.

    Steven Brandenburg, 46, allegedly told a co-worker at Advocate Aurora Health Systems that the sky 'is a shield put up by the Government to prevent individuals from seeing God.'

    He was arrested by officers with the Grafton Police Department on December 31 and he has since been investigated by the FBI, according to a warrant application obtained by Daily Beast.

    While the city of Ottawa's take on Wu-Tang Clan's iconic "W" wasn't the worst variation we had ever seen on a T-shirt,
    Canada has now been forced to address an order of parody shirts with the words "Wu-Han" inside the iconic rap crew's logo following online backlash.

    As the Globe and Mail reports, images of the "Wu-Han" shirt logo (seen above) began circulating on Chinese social media last month.
    Shared images included shots of a shipping sticker with Canadian Embassy's address in Beijing, with Canadian diplomat Chad Hensler as the intended recipient.

    Perhaps unaware that "Wu-Tang Is Forever," viewers felt the "W" logo most resembled a bat, and took Canada to task online. The coronavirus pandemic is said to have spread from a wet market in the city of Wuhan,
    and while scientists have found bats to be a natural reservoir for the virus, the animal's link has often been at the centre of xenophobic, racist remarks concerning the pandemic

    AstraZeneca’s Vaccine Does Not Work Well Against Virus Variant in South Africa

    The vaccine, developed with Oxford, was found not to prevent the virus variant rampant in South Africa from causing mild or moderate disease. In the U.S., Super Bowl parties raise worries about new surges.

    South Africa has halted use of the AstraZeneca-Oxford coronavirus vaccine after evidence emerged that the vaccine did not protect clinical-trial participants from mild or moderate illness caused by the more contagious virus variant that was first seen in the country.

    The findings were a devastating blow to the country’s efforts to combat the pandemic.

    Scientists in South Africa said on Sunday that a similar problem held among people who had been infected by earlier versions of the coronavirus: The immunity they acquired naturally did not appear to protect them from mild or moderate cases when reinfected by the variant, known as B.1.351.

    They haven't fallen off yet and doesn't grasp the concept of gravety.

    Sad thing about Covid is here they've stoped treating people for other illneses/deceases/sickness, So now people are dieing from cancer because they can't get treated for it because it isn't covid and that is the te only thing that matters....it is in its self sickening
