Live updates: Trump says Republicans will pull convention from Charlotte; U.S. coronavirus cases pass 1.8 million
Trump tweeted late Thursday that the Republican Party was being “forced to seek” alternatives to Charlotte, though most of the convention’s official business will still take place there due to contractual obligations. High-profile events, such as Trump’s televised acceptance speech, will likely take place elsewhere, with Orlando, Nashville, Las Vegas and Jacksonville, Fla., being floated as possibilities. Here are some significant developments:Iran, which was one of the first countries besides China to be hit hard by the coronavirus, appears to be facing a second wave of infections. Government health officials reported close to 3,000 new cases on Monday, the highest single-day rise in two months.Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Tuesday that he was “cautiously optimistic” about Moderna’s potential vaccine, which is entering its second round of clinical trials. A new survey shows 70 percent of Americans would get
Architect of lockdown policy admits Sweden achieved similar outcomes without lockdown – TheBlaze
The scientist architect behind the lockdown policy to stop the spread of coronavirus admitted that Sweden, which rejected the lockdown model, had similar results to those nations with lockdowns. Imperial College London scientist Neil Ferguson made the startling comments in his first public address since he was caught violating his own social distancing guidelines in order to continue an affair with a married woman. "It is interesting that adopting a policy which is short of a full lockdown – they have closed secondary schools and universities and there is a significant amount of social distancing, but it's not a full lockdown – they have got quite a long way to the same effect," said Ferguson of Sweden. His extreme social distancing policies have come under fire from those arguing that the cure might have become worse than the disease. Ferguson was asked to explain why there had been far fewer deaths from the coronavirus in Sweden than he had predicted. "I think it's

Controversial Republican congressman Steve King ousted in Iowa primary
(Reuters) - Firebrand U.S. congressman Steve King, who was called out by his colleagues last year for using hateful rhetoric, lost his bid for reelection on Tuesday as a Republican rival defeated him for their party’s nomination in an Iowa primary election. Randy Feenstra, a state senator who had the backing of several major Republican organizations, was projected by several news organizations as the winner in Iowa’s 4th congressional district. His victory increases the odds that Republicans will hold onto the seat in November. Voters in the district had returned King to Congress before despite his incendiary comments, often directed against immigrants. Tuesday’s vote came at a particularly charged moment, as major cities have seen widespread protests over the killing by Minneapolis police of George Floyd last week. The House last year overwhelmingly voted to repudiate King’s comments questioning why “white supremacy” is offensive, with King himself joining in that vote. Th
Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy Features A Really Unusual Sample
EntertainmentClaire ReidLast updated 3:33 PM, Tuesday January 28 2020 GMTPlenty of pop songs have been built around unusual sounds, but Billie Eilish's award-winning hit 'Bad Guy' might just take the prize for the strangest sample of all - it contains the sound of an Australian pedestrian crossing. Does this sound familiar?The 18-year-old was in Sydney where she heard the noise emitting from an Aussie pedestrian crossing and was so pleased with the sound she recorded it on a voicenote on her phone.She told Rolling Stone: "My mum and I went for a walk in Sydney. We were like across the street from the hotel and the crosswalk is this little - you press it and it's like 'doop, doop'. And I was like, 'That's hard!' That's the sound that it makes when you have to wait." Her brother Finneas O'Connell then cut it up, altered the pitch and sped it up before it made its way into the very catchy chorus of 'Bad Guy'. Weird, eh? What makes the whole thing even better is the reaction from Eilish
