His hair is perfect, washed daily, and he knows the "people who do the dishes" even though he's never done one himself! Ever. He doesn't even eat off dishes.

State Of Pandemic Disaster: Melbourne Moves To Stage Four
Being in control of a sinking ship is not enviable. Regulations previously passed have a museum feel to them, distinctly obsolete. Directions, once dictated with confidence, lack timbre.

How Game Theory Can Help With the Shortage of PPE for Medical Workers
*Anna Nagurney* *Health, * Until there is a centralized authority that would allocate medical supplies such as PPE effectively, efficiently, equitably and cost-wise, game theory will remain a powerful tool to identify who wins and who loses. The world continues to reel from the pandemic and, among many other things, the shortage of medical supplies that has resulted. Yes, the world has experienced natural disasters, but they are typically limited in time duration and location. The coronavirus pandemic has severely impacted the globe for many months. Critical medical product supp... more »
Netflix' "Cursed" Retells Arthurian Legend, Emphasizing the Role of Women
*Marta Cobb* *Entertainment, World* [image: Reuters] What is perhaps most compelling about Cursed is its emphasis on female power and agency. Netflix’s new series Cursed, based on the illustrated novel by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler, is a retelling of the Arthurian legend – but like none you have seen before. The central character is not the young man destined to rule over Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table, the narrative that has come down through the centuries. In this version of the legends, the main character is a woman called Nimue. In other tellings of the Arthuri... more »
How a Cheap Antibiotic-Resistance Test Could Save Lives
*Lara Marks, Ankur Mutreja* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] The threat of AMR is now so severe that many fear it could soon wipe out many of the advances medicine has made over the last century. With the world’s attention focused on combating COVID-19, it is easy to forget the other significant threat to public health and the global economy – the rapid rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Yet the problem has not disappeared. Indeed, the pandemic is probably accelerating it. Predicted to cause 10 million deaths a year by 2050 if left unchecked, AMR occurs where microorg... more »
Your Cat Could Get Coronavirus (But Don't Panic)
*Willie Weir* *Coronavirus, World* [image: Reuters] It’s very unlikely your cat has coronavirus, and if it does, it probably won’t be involved in spreading it any further. Since the outset of the coronavirus pandemic, the potential role of animals in catching and spreading the disease has been closely examined by scientists. This is because the virus that causes COVID-19 belongs to the family of coronaviruses that cause disease in a variety of mammals. The evidence suggests that this virus arose in bats and my colleagues at the University of Glasgow have recently determined that ... more »

Queensland Rape Law "Loophole" Could Remain Open
*Jonathan Crowe* *Law, Oceania* [image: Reuters] The legal profession’s preference for the status quo seems to have prevailed over survivors’ calls for reform. The Queensland government has quietly released the state Law Reform Commission’s long-awaited report on reforming the state’s controversial sexual consent laws. After much lobbying by survivors of sexual assault for comprehensive changes to the law, the recommendations are a huge disappointment.

Why Nazi Germany Lost World War II: Hitler As Leader?
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Hitler's mistakes cost his country dearly. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Both Hitler and Roosevelt believed that war was inevitable, and they were both probably right.

"Maybe..."
"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be a human. Maybe, we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe, we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate." - "Grey's Anatomy"

There hasn't been any public polling from Nevada available lately. The last one I found was a Fox poll in January that showed Trump down by 8 points (47-39%). Unless Nevada is entirely in its own universe, that chasm is much wider now. In 2016, Hillary beat Trump 539,260 (47.92) to 512,058 (46.50%), kind of close. However, since Trump was inaugurated, had already decreased by 21 points in February, 54% disapproving and 43% approving.

*Jake M. Robertson* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] Urban dwellers are far less exposed to a diversity of health-promoting microbes. By 2050, 70% of the world’s population is expected to live in towns and cities. Urban living brings many benefits, but city dwellers worldwide are seeing a rapid increase in noncommunicable health problems, such as asthma and inflammatory bowel disease.

The rate at which different species go extinct is currently a thou... more »
