On Monday, Governor David Ige asked that visitors’ and residents’ travel be curtailed through the end of October, limiting it to only essential business because “it is a risky time to be traveling right now.” “I encourage everyone to restrict and curtail travel to Hawaii,” Ige said. “It’s not a good time to travel to the islands.” At a Monday’s press conference, he urged visitors to postpone travel as the state tries to manage the number of virus cases and keep its health care system from being overwhelmed....

As if that wasn’t enough, viewers were treated to more details over the ongoing farrago surrounding Antonio Brown’s helmet, as well as a debate over who is the biggest Canadian icon.

Although there were some spotlight-worthy quotes from the two biggest stars on Oakland’s marquee, coach Jon Gruden and wide receiver Antonio Brown, there were limited standout storylines elsewhere. But ever since NFL Films debuted “Hard Knocks” 18 years ago with the Ravens and rebooted it with the Chiefs in 2007, the show has never tried to force controversy that isn’t there. Instead, the goal has been to capture the intensity that comes with a one-month grind to prepare for the season....

Premiering Sept. 11, the 2 1/2 hour film starts off as a detective story. Its hero is Dr. Don Francis (Matthew Modine), a researcher for the Centers for Disease Control who finds himself assigned to a baffling mystery: something is killing small numbers of gay men in 1980 urban America. Suspecting a common fink, Francis, along with a few CDC colleagues, tirelessly digs out the histories of the victims–a kind of medical Columbo doing “basic shoe-leather epidemiology....

At first, McLaughlin didn’t have severe COVID-19 symptoms—she lost her sense of smell and taste—but her side effects changed over the following months and never went away.

His eye socket was broken in three places after he was thrown from the train after being repeatedly punched, also suffering a chipped jaw. The incident began when the NHS employee approached the group of two men and one woman to question why they were not wearing masks on public transport.

In many patients, heart involvement with COVID-19 is a relatively subtle condition, while in others it produces major and possibly fatal complications. While there are several potential causes of COVID-19-related heart muscle injury, the specific cause in a particular individual is often difficult to identify....
