Summary List PlacementThe American Medical Association hit back on Friday after President Donald Trump falsely suggested doctors are inflating COVID-19 death counts for money, as cases continue to climb across the country. During a Michigan rally on Friday, the president lamented the increase in coronavirus cases, blaming it on an increase in testing, a claim his own testing czar has disputed. He then said doctors are improperly citing COVID-19 as a cause of death in some cases for monetary gain. "You know, our doctors get more money if someone dies from COVID. You know that, right?" Trump asked the crowd. He characterized US doctors on the frontlines of coronavirus as saying, "When in doubt, choose COVID," for the cause of death. "Our doctors get more money if someone dies from...

Summary List PlacementThe US hit a record number of new daily coronavirus cases with 97,080 on Friday, as case numbers continue to grow much faster than testing, according to data from The COVID Tracking Project. The Project counted nearly 1.4 million tests that same day, with nearly 47,000 people hospitalized for COVID-19 and a daily death count of 933. The data also showed that case numbers are rising much more sharply than the number of tests being administered, which The Project called "an indication of uncontrolled spread" of the virus. This contradicts President Donald Trump, who has said repeatedly in recent weeks that the number of coronavirus cases is growing due to increased testing. Case growth is far outpacing testing through the US, suggesting that current case surg...

Summary List PlacementExperts advising the Director of the Centers for Disease Control are looking at a measure that would widely distribute a COVID-19 vaccine first to the highest hit areas, usually, areas with a large percentage of people of color, The New York Times reported.  The CDC advisory group said it would be just and fair to set aside the limited supply for this group since that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.  "I see this as a seismic shift," Harald Schmidt, an assistant professor of medical ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania told The Times. "We can't go back to colorblind allocation." Business Insider previously reported that Black Americans and people of color have been infected with and have died from COVID-19 at a much higher...

There was offseason turnover at positions such as tight end and linebacker that will require UCLA to find new faces to fill the void this season.

It was a Monday, Nancy Fairley recalls, the first day she and her husband, Patrick, opened Scotland Yard Pub in Canoga Park in 1988 to a rousing business — one guy sitting alone at the end of the bar nursing a Budweiser. He was an odd man, Nancy says, just sitting there eyeing the woman tending bar, never saying a word. Maybe they should close early and get this guy out of there, she thought. It wasn’t like they were doing a great business. One customer, one beer all night. At this rate, she and Pat would be out of business and back in Scotland in no time. The guy at the end of the bar came back a few nights later, and did the same thing, but now the bar had a few more customers, and the he didn’t stand out as much. This went on a few more weeks, then he stopped coming in. A few weeks late
