It's tempting to think the coronavirus pandemic is almost over, since vaccines are being distributed at a record rate and cities are opening up—but be careful out there, warned Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, this morning. He spoke with Margaret Brennan on CBS's Face the Nation about why the rising infection rate is a danger to you, no matter where you live, and what you can do in the next few weeks to stay safe. Read on for 5 essential points he wants you to hear, as cases rise—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss this urgent news: Here's How You Can Catch COVID Even If You're Vaccinated. 1 Dr. Fauci Warned That We Have to Do These Two Things or You Might Get COVID "When will the infection rate come down?" asked Brennan of the numbers, which are going in the wrong direction. "I think it's going to come down as soon as we do two things," answered Dr. Fauci. "One that I'm sure we'll be able to do is to continue the really very fine rate of vaccination, where we're vaccinating between 3 and 4 million people per day, but the other wildcard—and this has to be making sure that until we get to that point, we don't pull back on public health measures because we're having between 60 and 70,000 new infections per day. And it would really I think not be prudent at all to declare victory prematurely and pull back without a doubt as we continue every single day to get more and more people vaccinated, that rate will go down. If we don't give the virus the opportunity to essentially surge and by giving the virus the opportunity." Keep reading to see which vaccines he thinks are safe. 2 Dr. Fauci Said You May Need to Get Booster Shots—and Could Get COVID After Your Vaccine Will boosters be needed so we can be protected from new variants—or if the current vaccine efficacy fades? "You know, we're going to find that out soon," said Dr. Fauci, "because you determine whether a booster is needed to the particular virus that you're dealing with. Like the standard virus—if you get a level of immunity, which is measured generally by antibodies, it's a correlate of immunity. When that level starts to fade down to a certain critical level, then it's a good indication you'll need a boost. Or if you start to see breakthrough infections"—that's when you get COVID-19 after your vaccination—"either with the original virus or with the variant, and if it's with the variants, even though a person's vaccinated, you might want to boost with a very specific boost, as opposed to just the boost to the regular. So we'll know sometime I believe by the end of the summer, but at the beginning of the fall, likely by the end of the summer, whether or not we're going to have to boost people." 3 Dr. Fauci Said the Moderna and Pfizer Vaccines Were Very Safe, and We'll Know More About J&J This Friday Fauci was asked if he'd still recommend the Johnson&Johnson vaccine, given that it has been "paused" due to six people having blood clots. "From a standpoint of efficacy, no doubt" the J&J vaccine works, said Dr. Fauci. "We're dealing with three highly efficacious vaccines. The issue of safety now is being examined. We'll know a lot more about that by Friday"—when the CDC will meet to discuss next steps—"but the one thing we should emphasize when you're dealing with safety, people should not extrapolate a pause with one vaccine to the other vaccines. For example, the same surveillance system that picked up the six women in the J&J was the same surveillance system that the CDC and the FDA uses with the Moderna product and with the Pfizer product. And thus far, there have been no red flags of that—even though tens and tens and tens of millions of people have been vaccinated with those vaccines. So one of the things you can take away from all of this is that when the surveillance system, the CDC and the FDA say that something is safe, you can be sure that it's safe." 4 Dr. Fauci Said When We'd Get Back to Normal So when will we finally get back to the way things were before the pandemic? "If we do those two things simultaneously—continue to vaccinate at the same time as we just hang in there a bit longer—well, I believe we will be okay. We will reach the point where we will be able to get back to doing things the way we did before, but we're going to have to make sure that we get as many people vaccinated as we possibly can." RELATED: 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID 5 How to Get Through the End of This Pandemic Safely Follow Fauci's fundamentals and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live—wear a face mask that fits snugly and is double layered, don't travel, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't miss these Signs Your Illness is Actually Coronavirus in Disguise.

Coronavirus restrictions are still in effect, even for fully vaccinated Americans, and "some vaccinated Americans may want to travel, eat indoors at restaurants. So what is the scientific reason that it isn't safe for vaccinated Americans to do those things?" That's the question on the minds of many Americans, and it was asked this morning by CNN's State of the Union host Dana Bash to guest Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the President and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Read on to see what Dr. Fauci said—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss this urgent news: Here's How You Can Catch COVID Even If You're Vaccinated. 1 Dr. Fauci Said You Needed to Practice Caution After Vaccination Because You Could Get COVID Yes, it is possible to get COVID after your vaccination, although rare—the CDC recently estimated about 5,800 breakthrough infections, out of estimated 77 million people vaccinated. "Although they're unusual, we are seeing breakthrough infections," said Dr. Fauci. How could that happen to you? There may be a primary vaccine failure, "when the body actually doesn't mount adequate immune response for a number of reasons," he explained, listing them as "immune status, health status, age medications you're on, or something wrong with the vaccine storage delivery composition." It's another reason to keep wearing a mask and social distancing after your vaccine. Keep reading for more reasons. 2 Dr. Fauci Said You Needed to Practice Caution After Vaccination Because You Could Spread COVID "The first thing you got to realize is that when you get vaccinated, your risk of getting infected dramatically diminishes and is very low. So then the obvious question is why are there any restrictions there?" asked Dr. Fauci on CNN, ready to answer his own question: "Because in a certain situation, one can get vaccinated, have no clinical disease at all, but get infected and not even know it and have replication of virus in your nasopharynx and inadvertently transmit it to somebody else who might actually be unvaccinated and get ill. That's the reason why you want to wear a mask." 3 Dr. Fauci Said You Needed to Practice Caution After Vaccination Because There are Variants Spreading "Then the other reason for wearing a mask is that there are variants that are circulating." Fauci calls these variants "a bit disturbing….Fortunately for us, the 1.1.7, which is the variant that was originating in the UK, our vaccines are effective against them." but others may be more precarious. 4 So What are the Exact Risks Then? Dr. Fauci Weighed In. Is it "safe" to do things after vaccination? "The issue is it depends on what you mean by safe and its relative risks," said Dr. Fauci. "So when people say, well, why can't I go [here or there]? You can travel. Your risk is really very low." So why does the CDC discourage travel? "What the CDC is saying is that it depends on what your level of risk that you want to take. The one thing you want to do is be careful that you don't inadvertently infect someone else or that given the fact that we have 70,000, 60 to 70,000 new infections in the community, that is a precarious situation. That's the point. So we don't want people to think that you don't dramatically diminish your risk when you get vaccinated, you absolutely do. The risk is very low and people will make decisions about what they want to do, and it will be a relative risk. What risk am I willing to take?"RELATED: 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID 5 How to Stay Your Safest During This Pandemic Follow Fauci's fundamentals and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live—wear a face mask that fits snugly and is double layered, don't travel, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't miss these Signs Your Illness is Actually Coronavirus in Disguise.

On a weekend where the film industry is still grappling with the closure of Pacific Theaters and ArcLight Cinemas, the box office slowed down again as the theaters that have reopened await new releases. For now, fellow Warner title “Godzilla vs. Kong” will stay No. 1 with $7.7 million in its third weekend in 3,001 locations, giving it a domestic total of $80.5 million. Globally, the film now has a total of $390.5 million, as a combination of steadily reopening U.S. theaters and significantly recovered markets in China, Australia, Mexico and Taiwan have pushed the film past the $363.6 million total earned by “Tenet” last fall. This week, “Godzilla vs. Kong” will become the first Hollywood blockbuster since “Bad Boys for Life” 15 months ago to gross over $400 million worldwide. Universal’s “Nobody” stays in second with $2.5 million in its fourth weekend from 2,405 locations. The film was made available as a premium on-demand title thanks to Universal’s theatrical window deal with AMC and Cinemark, but has held consistently in the $2 million range over the past three weekends as it has quietly accumulated a total of $19 million domestic and $34.5 million internationally. Sony/Screen Gems’ “The Unholy” and Disney’s “Raya and the Last Dragon” are in a narrow race for third with “Unholy” holding an edge with $2.06 million from 2,057 locations in its third weekend and a $9.5 million total. “Raya” earned $1.9 million from 1,945 locations in its seventh weekend for a domestic total of $37.6 million. Warner Bros.’ “Tom & Jerry” completes the top 5 with $1.09 million from 2,028 screens in its eighth weekend for a $42.5 million domestic total. On the independent side, IFC Films released the romance film “Monday” starring Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough in 54 theaters along with on-demand availability, grossing $22,000 for a per theater average of $407. The release comes as indie distribution struggles to get back on its feet with cities critical to the box office subset like New York still placing 25% capacity limits on theaters. Even the 50% limit set on Los Angeles and San Francisco, while a relief for studios with wide releases, is still a major problem for films with limited release that rely on sellout screenings. ArcLight Theaters made a significant amount of its profit from having an exclusivity period on major limited releases in Los Angeles, including on four-screen platform releases in L.A. and New York. With indie films trying to work around capacity limits by releasing initially in 50 screens or greater — and in the case of some films like “Monday,” also opening day-and-date — sources have told TheWrap that is unclear whether ArcLight would be able to have theatrical exclusivity in 2021. ArcLight Cinemas, along with sister company Pacific Theaters, announced that it would not reopen this past week, shuttering 300 theaters in California.

Many parents know how seriously American schools have taken nut allergies in recent years. Today, medical experts report there's a new food allergy threat that's every bit as serious. Unfortunately, this has been a staple of the American diet for decades… and it might be a tougher food to eradicate from all the places children go.WebMD has reported that food-induced anaphylaxis (allergic reactions) led to a 25% increase in hospitalizations among children between 2006 and 2012, according to an analysis of pediatric hospital data performed in 2019. While for years, peanuts and some tree nuts were to blame more than other foods, cow's milk is now "the most common food allergy in children younger than five years," according to the WebMD report. Astoundingly, cow's milk is said to account "for about half of all food allergies in children younger than one."RELATED: Costco Foods You Should Always Avoid, According to NutritionistsIt's reported that in the U.K., cow's milk was the food allergy most likely to lead to death in school-aged children. Carla Davis, M.D., director of the food allergy program at the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston was quoted saying, "Cow's milk allergy is the most distressing of the food allergies. Many people are unaware that it can cause anaphylaxis that is so severe." Davis added: "People do not think about how much of this is in our food."The report explains that cow's milk has been a popular drink for children for its calcium, vitamins, and other nutrients, like protein. However, some of these same proteins are the very triggers that the body identifies as foreign and attacks, which produces the allergic reaction event. Some experts say all this is why it's so important to educate the public about the dangers of dairy today.If there's good news, it's that as children age, reports suggest that some outgrow the cow's milk allergy. In the meantime, if you're looking to clean up your kitchen, check out 22 tips to cut back on dairy, according to experts.Sign up for the Eat This, Not That! newsletter for the everyday nutrition news your family needs.
Liam Scarlett, a rising-star British dancer and choreographer until sexual harassment accusations surfaced two years ago, died on Friday at age 35. No cause of death has been disclosed. “It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic, untimely death of our beloved Liam,” his family said in a statement. “At this difficult time for all of our family, we would ask that you respect our privacy to enable us to grieve our loss.” His death came shortly after the Royal Danish Ballet canceled a production of his ballet “Frankenstein” that had been schedule for spring 2022 following accusations of misconduct toward members of the Royal Danish Ballet staff in 2018 and 2019. Also Read: Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2021 (Photos) Last year, the U.K.’s Royal Ballet severed ties with Scarlett even though a seven-month investigation into accusations into his behavior toward students at the Royal Ballet School found “no matters to pursue.” He also lost his position last spring as artistic associate at Australia’s Queensland Ballet. Prior to the accusations, Scarlett was seen as a precocious talent with a meteoric rise in the ballet world. He joined the Royal Ballet in 2006 as a dancer and choreographed his first work, 2010’s “Asphodel Meadows,” at age 24. He soon dedicated himself to choreography full-time, making his mark with his first full-length ballet, 2014’s “Frankenstein.” As an artist in residence with the Royal Ballet, he created many of the company’s major new productions, including a new staging of “Swan Lake” that debuted in 2018. He also choreographed the dance sequences in the 2018 Disney film “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,” featuring the dancers Misty Copeland and Sergei Polunin. The Royal Opera House tweeted in sympathy: “We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Liam Scarlett’s death. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this very sad time.“ The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK (8255) is a free, 24/7 confidential service that can provide people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress, or those around them, with support, information and local resources.

The liver is one of the body's most crucial organs, responsible for detoxifying the blood, metabolizing macronutrients, and producing chemicals that enable essential bodily processes. And during this pandemic, many of us are not treating it properly: "Although national figures are not available, admissions for alcoholic liver disease at Keck Hospital of the University of Southern California were up 30% in 2020 compared with 2019, said Dr. Brian Lee, a transplant hepatologist who treats the condition in alcoholics," reports Kaiser Health News. "There's been a tremendous influx," Dr. Haripriya Maddur, a hepatologist at Northwestern Medicine, told the website. Read on to see the #1 danger sign—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss this urgent news: Here's How You Can Catch COVID Even If You're Vaccinated.The #1 Danger Sign Your Liver Is in Trouble is Fluid RetentionIf your liver isn't functioning properly, it can cause serious, even fatal, health problems. So how does your liver let your body know it's in poor condition? According to the Cleveland Clinic, fluid retention is the most common symptom of liver disease. It's experienced by about 50% of people with cirrhosis, the most severe form of liver disease, when scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue. Fluid retention can show up as swelling in your legs or as a distended abdomen. It's caused when the liver no longer is able to produce albumin, a protein that prevents fluid from leaking out of the blood vessels and into tissue. Other symptoms of liver disease include: Jaundice, otherwise known as yellowing of the eyes or skin. This is caused when the liver is no longer able to process bilirubin, a natural chemical produced by red blood cells; instead, it builds up in the eyes or skin. This is a sign of more serious liver disease, suggesting liver failure. Bleeding, caused when scar tissue in the liver prevents it from processing as much blood as it used to. The blood then diverts to places like the esophagus and digestive tract. You may vomit blood or it may show up in your stool. Pale stools, which can indicate that the liver is having difficulty processing bile.Itchy skin, caused by extra bile salts collecting under the skin. Dark urine, caused by excess bilirubin being excreted through the kidneys.If you're having symptoms of liver disease, contact your healthcare provider right away. RELATED: Signs You're Getting One of the "Most Deadly" CancersHow to Protect Your LiverCirrhosis can be slowed but not reversed, so it's important to prevent your liver from reaching that deteriorated state. To keep your liver healthy, get regular exercise (at least five times a week for 30 minutes each day); maintain a healthy diet and weight; drink alcohol in moderation (meaning no more than one drink a day for women and two drinks for men); get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B if your doctor recommends it; and take medications carefully (take them as directed, and don't mix them with alcohol).
