Public transportation numbers, cell phone data and on-the-ground interviews with taxi drivers and pedestrians analyzed by Reuters this week show social isolation orders are being widely dismissed across the country. Brazil, which this week became the first country in the southern hemisphere to surpass 1,000 coronavirus deaths, is led by Bolsonaro, who has reiterated his contempt for social distancing guidelines as more destructive than COVID-19 itself. Last month, Bolsonaro said the economic hardship caused by self-quarantine measures are absurd because “we’re all going to die one day....

Oddschecker, which aggregates betting data from dozens of bookmakers, gave Democrats odds of -111 and Republicans odds of +120 to secure the Sunshine State, a spokesman told Newsweek.

Charley was the first in a series of storms that hit the Florida coast in the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist and Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski described the year as a “nightmare” for the state in terms of tropical storms. The storm began in the Caribbean. The initial thought was that it would weaken over Cuba, but it instead, it tracked west, Kottlowski said. The storm was initially expected to make landfall in the highly populated Tampa Bay area, but a last-minute shift in the track caused the center of the storm to make landfall farther south near Charlotte Harbor....

— Justin Bieber is a jinx. — The Cleveland Browns are the team to beat in their division. So the Biebs can safely keep his unplanned trips to the Steelers’ pre-game Bible study to a minimum from now on.

United travel to The Emirates on the back of what has to be one of the lowest points of the season. Many of the United faithful are struggling to see a future with Moyes and some sections off the crowd booed the team after the match against Fulham. I suppose the only positive is that Arsenal took a beating at the hands of Liverpool on the weekend, so they may slightly fragile and vulnerable… we hope....

The German playmaker is having a difficult season, as he has been in and out of Unai Emery’s team due to underwhelming performances and supposedly not fitting into the coach’s tactical plans. He was a surprise omission from the squad for the EFL Cup quarter-final defeat to Tottenham 10 days ago, before returning for Premier League games against Burnley and Brighton and Hove Albion. It was against Brighton that Ozil is said to have picked up a knock to the knee, and he was subsequently left at home for Saturday’s trip to allow him to recover....

Arsenal are 10th in the Premier League with 29 points, 10 fewer than fourth-place Chelsea, leaving the Gunners in real danger of missing out on a Champions Leaguer return and perhaps European football altogether next season. Since new coach Arteta took over last month, Arsenal have been linked with numerous new players, particularly given their bad luck with injuries. Paris Saint-Germain’s Layvin Kurzawa, Thomas Lemar of Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng have all been mentioned as potential targets, with the former the most strongly linked....

With the introduction of a break in the Premier League schedule in 2019-20, Arsenal had been set for a four-day training camp ahead of the February 16 Premier League match against Newcastle United.

More than 7 million Americans have undergone some type of arthroplasty, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). Hip and knee arthroplasties are the two most commonly performed surgeries in the United States—estimates show that up to one million procedures are performed yearly.

A lot of techniques used in today’s media were once complicated and time-consuming to implement in previous generations. One fantastic example is DirectX 12 making ray-tracing possible in real time, a method of calculating light reflection and diffusion that used to involve hours of rendering time. What used to take artists hours to implement can now be done with a simple click and drag, thanks to tools like bone rigging, body morphs, and walking simulators....

None of that bothers the true Tony Believers, of course. The ceremony, on June 3 this year, is our moment to root for our favorite actors, our pet shows, the best lighting director-every corner of that fabulous invalid of an industry. And it’s been a good year to be a theater fan. There have been enough new plays and musicals to fill all the Tony categories, which spares the American Theatre Wing the embarrassment of having to nominate “Seussical” for best musical....

That’s not a popular opinion or one that’s readily accepted by those who influence what the average American thinks day by day. Those in positions to filter the flow of information before it reaches the masses have people so concerned about the possibility of dying of coronavirus, they’ve forgotten there’s more to life than just being alive. Think back to the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson didn’t cite “life” as our only unalienable right....
