Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey recently took part in a game of virtual bingo for residents of a senior living facility in Texas.
According to Matthew McConaughey, there is no "greater" thing in life than fatherhood.
A new study reveals a COVID-19 vaccine under development in England safely promotes an immune response against the virus. According to UPI, the vaccine is in Phase 2 of clinical trials with Astra Zeneca, and is particularly effective in elderly recipients who are over age 70. Researchers say the finding of the 'robust' responses in older people in their study is both significant and encouraging. The populations at greatest risk of serious COVID-19 disease include people with existing health conditions and older adults. The so-called "Oxford vaccine," formally known as ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, is one of more than 120 being evaluated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, 48 of these vaccines have gotten into clinical trials to assess their safety and efficacy.
In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper airing Friday, the actor spoke about building on the lessons from his father and other stories from his new memoir, "Greenlights." McConaughey said his father didn't blink when the future Oscar-winner told him he'd rather attend film school than law school, which had always been the plan. His father just had some advice for him: Don't half-a** it. "Not only did he approve that I could switch up my course pattern and not go to law school, but I could go to film school, but he gave me a kick in the backside and launched me out and basically said within 10 seconds of hearing the new news," McConaughey recalled to Cooper.
Just when people are getting more comfortable flying during the pandemic, CNN reports a woman died due to COVID-19 while on a flight to Arizona. CNN reports a county official said the Dallas-area woman was in her 30s and had 'underlying high-risk health conditions.' The woman died in late July on the tarmac at a New Mexico airport. The Dallas County HHS first reported her death in the news release Sunday. No other details were made available because of medical privacy reasons. Johns Hopkins University says more than 220,000 have died and more than 8.2 million COVID-19 cases have been reported nationwide as of Tuesday afternoon. The Transportation Security Administration says it screened more than 1 million passengers Sunday. That's the highest number of passengers since March 16.
