http://youtu.be/iLPHEb1sPhU Aaron Judge’s girlfriend Samantha Bracksieck name-dropped the famous Yankees slugger to try to get out of her DUI arrest, sobbing, “This is going to be so bad.” Bracksieck, 26, wept to cops in Scottsdale, Arizona, over the bad p.r. she believed her arrest would bring for the famous right fielder, body camera footage obtained by The Post shows. “Do you know who my boyfriend is? This is going to be bad for me. I’m just saying that right now,” Bracksieck tells cops on Feb. 25 after she was pulled over for not having her headlights on and failing to maintain her lane. As an officer processes her information, Bracksieck asks if her arrest would be made “public.” “He’s a public figure,” she tells the officer, referring to Judge. “So, like, me being arrested for, ...

http://youtu.be/7B5dKMAKMco They have high hopes for a coronavirus breakthrough. A team of Canadian scientists believes it has found strong strains of cannabis that could help prevent or treat coronavirus infections, according to interviews and a study. Researchers from the University of Lethbridge said a study in April showed at least 13 cannabis plants were high in CBD that appeared to affect the ACE2 pathways that the bug uses to access the body. #Cannabis #Coronavirus The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/ML9BFqYAd1E The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service said they will begin to send millions of economic stimulus payments to Americans this week by way of prepaid debit cards instead of checks. The cards, issued through the IRS’ financial agent MetaBank, will allow recipients to withdraw funds at in-network ATMs, make purchases and transfer funds to their bank accounts without incurring any fees, the Treasury Department announced on Monday. “Treasury and the IRS have been working with unprecedented speed to issue Economic Impact Payments to American families. Prepaid debit cards are secure, easy to use, and allow us to deliver Americans their money quickly,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. “Recipients can immediately activate and use...

http://youtu.be/7lA3oOo1oZc Leaked phone conversations between Joe Biden and then-Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko have been made public by a Ukrainian lawmaker. Edited recordings of the calls were played at a news conference Tuesday in Kiev by Andriy Derkach, who has claimed he has proof showing that Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas company that employed Biden’s son Hunter Biden, paid then-Vice President Joe Biden $900,000 in lobbying fees. #JoeBiden #PetroPoroshenko The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/8awOVexMcEU A Turkish soccer player has admitted to smothering his 5-year-old son to death while the child was in the hospital for coronavirus, telling cops he killed him because he “didn’t love him,” according to reports. Cevher Toktas, who plays for Bursa Yildirimspor in the Turkish Regional Amateur League, told police he killed his son Kasim at a hospital in the province of Bursa because he never felt that he loved him “since he was born,” the Sun and Turkish outlet Demiroren News Agency (DNA) reported. The 32-year-old brought his ailing son with a fever and cough April 23 to the hospital, where they were isolated together out of fear that they both had the virus, according to the Sun. Later in the day, the father alerted doctors that his son was struggling to breath...

http://youtu.be/-04PDgL6y1o The mother of an unarmed black man shot dead while jogging says she can’t bring herself to watch a video of his slaying — and the family is demanding answers for the “modern lynching,” according to its lawyer. Wanda Cooper-Jones, whose son, Ahmaud Arbery, was shot and killed by two white men while out of a run in southern Georgia in February, said she’s still struggling to cope with his tragic and senseless death, she told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday. “I don’t think I’ll ever be in a mental state where I can actually watch the video,” Cooper-Jones said. “I had others that watched it that shared what they saw and that just was enough.” #AhmaudArbery The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertain...

http://youtu.be/moSk7GMTkGs Federal germ warfare researchers have designed a “game-changer” coronavirus test that quickly identifies carriers of the deadly bug — before they become infectious, according to a new report. The test, which emerged from a project set up by the US military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency aimed at rapid diagnosis of germ or chemical warfare poisoning, was quickly repurposed when the pandemic broke out — and now may be able to detect the virus’ presence as early as 24 hours after infection, the Guardian reported. That’s several days before a carrier is considered capable of spreading the disease to others, according to the report. It’s also about four days before existing tests can detect COVID-19. The breakthrough test is expected to be presented ...

http://youtu.be/aOhJmXh4rrw Two suspected shoplifters were caught in a wild brawl with staffers at a besieged Yonkers supermarket that says it has already lost $34,000 to thieves this year. The almost 11-minute clip from Shop Fair supermarket in Getty Square on Monday started with one of the accused already being pinned to the floor in one of the aisles as another was held back. “Look what they doing! Look what they doing to my brother!” yelled the second man, wearing a blue, white and red jacket. After counting down from five, he waded in, appearing to throw at least one punch — with staffers leaping on him and exchanging blows. #Yonkers #Shoplifting The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, cultur...

http://youtu.be/LCGVmNXRWSA The first medical doctor to play in the NFL has returned to medicine to tackle the coronavirus. Offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif scrambled to the front lines just three months after helping the Kansas City Chiefs’ first Super Bowl victory in 50 years. “My first day back in the hospital was April 24,” the 29-year-old guard wrote in Sports Illustrated of Friday’s first shift at a long-term care facility about an hour outside Montreal in Canada. “I felt nervous the night before, but a good nervous, like before a game,” he said, adding the work left him “drained.” “It’s wild to think that just 10 weeks earlier I played in the biggest game in sports.” #SuperBowl #LaurentDuvernayTardif The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New ...

http://youtu.be/AV8udwg2Vzk The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer said Tuesday that a new coronavirus vaccine could be tested as early as next week — with the potential for emergency use by fall, a report said Tuesday. “This is a crisis right now, and a solution is desperately needed by all,” Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla told the Wall Street Journal. Pfizer is working with German-based BioNtech to deliver the possible vaccine. Clinical trials on human volunteers in Germany have already started. Health regulators in the US may approve testing the vaccine on humans by next week, Bourla told the paper. #Coronavirus #Vaccine The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/ROtY2PH1x40 Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is getting advice from White House hopeful Joe Biden amid the coronavirus pandemic, saying the former vice president is “regularly checking in” with her. Whitmer, 48, praised Biden for his “counsel and friendship” in the ongoing public health crisis during an interview Monday with Politico. “We’re cut from a similar cloth — he loves people,” Whitmer told Politico. “He is, you know, regularly checking in with me about what’s going on here in Michigan, what do we need … I have gotten some counsel from him in terms of, you know, just trying to communicate to people what we’re really confronting, the seriousness of it, and the hope that we need to have, but also trying to connect in a way that people really understand.” #JoeBiden #...

http://youtu.be/kn7GyWkFSDM The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its list of symptoms for the coronavirus, adding six new possible indicators of the deadly bug. The CDC now recognizes chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and new loss of taste or smell as possible symptoms of COVID-19. Previously, the public health institute associated the symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath or difficulty breathing with the disease. “People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported — ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness,” the CDC says on its website, noting that the symptoms “may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus.” #Coronavirus #COVID19Symptoms The New York Post is your source for breaking news,...

http://youtu.be/IeBt54CyW54 With rumors swirling about North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a state-run newspaper tried to prove the despot is alive and well by reporting that he has sent a thank-you letter to builders in a seaside resort. The Rodong Sinmun outlet claimed Monday that Kim penned the message to builders working on a tourism project in Wonsan, where South Korea believes the leader has been staying since April 13, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency. “Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un has sent his appreciation to the workers who devoted themselves to building the Wonsan-Kalma tourist zone,” the Rodong Sinmun reported. #NorthKorea #KimJongUn The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, cultur...

http://youtu.be/igZvO8n5hCc Tighten your tinfoil hat. Ever since the coronavirus was discovered, misinformation has spread as quickly as the deadly disease. Wack-a-doo theories are causing people to destroy cellular towers and risk infection by joining protests. One Ohio man called the pandemic a “political ploy” and railed against stay-at-home orders, only to contract the disease and die. Cooped-up Americans are spending too much time online falling for pseudoscience and conspiratorial speculation when it comes to COVID-19. Some bad actors are even trying to make a buck off the conjecture, peddling bogus cures such as black cat “paste” or $4,000 COVID “treatment packs.” As yet, there is no cure for the coronavirus. But while there are a lot of unknowns about the highly contagious vir...

http://youtu.be/11rsw1JmBA8 President Trump on Friday signed a nearly half-trillion-dollar coronavirus relief bill that replenishes money for small-business loans to prevent layoffs. The $484 billion bill is the fourth large coronavirus deal and revives the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, which ran out of funds last week. The bill also has $75 billion for hospitals and $25 billion for COVID-19 testing. Trump hailed the bill as “great for small businesses, great for the workers” and said it would “extend relief to thousands of African American and Hispanic American business owners.” #Trump #SmallBusinesses The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and mo...

http://youtu.be/nKjR1SvE9kY How do COVID-19 patients say goodbye to their families? With an iPad. Nurse Jenna Greco knows this all too well. As a critical care RN at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, she is fighting on the front lines — and helping sick patients in the ICU as they FaceTime with loved ones who can’t be there in person. On top of the heartache, this nurse’s own life is at risk. Because of the PPE shortage, Greco admits that she’s had to use the same face mask for seven shifts straight. “It gets gross. It’s not effective after a certain amount of time,” she told The Post.

http://youtu.be/LO6Xxguzp7c South Dakota’s governor said her “unconventional” decision to keep the state open during the coronavirus pandemic is working — proving that “we’re much better on offense.” Gov. Kristi Noem said she does not need the stay-at-home orders issued in most states because she values citizens’ “freedoms and liberties” and believes they will take the right steps without government intervention. “I trust my people,” she told Breitbart News on Wednesday, conceding it was “unconventional” and “something that would not be widely embraced across the country.” “I took an oath to uphold our state Constitution,” she said, suggesting other leaders “take too much power in a time of crisis.” #KristiNoem #Coronavirus The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news abo...

http://youtu.be/FpoqOYJWMKM A growing number of recovered coronavirus patients in China continue to test positive for the deadly bug, according to reports. Doctors in Wuhan, where the outbreak emerged in December, say the patients all tested negative for COVID-19 at some point during their recovery — but then began testing positive again without showing symptoms as much as 70 days after being cleared. Chinese officials have not released numbers on how many coronavirus patients are part of the phenomenon, but data from Chinese hospitals obtained by Reuters and other media outlets suggest there are at least dozens. #Wuhan #Coronavirus The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more...

http://youtu.be/s37NcZek9Tw Antibody tests are flooding the market, but only four so far are FDA-approved. Dr. Mike, a family medicine physician, says we still don't have enough information to be able to confirm whether or not someone is immune to COVID-19 —even if the person has tested positive for and subsequently cleared coronavirus. Unlike the measles or chicken pox vaccine, which ensure long-lasting immunity, the length of time for COVID-19 immunity is still a big unknown. "There exists an assumption where people think that if they test positive for antibodies, meaning that they have antibodies in their bloodstream, that they're automatically immune to COVID-19. And while that's decent thinking, it's not 100-percent accurate," he explained. Moving forward, Dr. Mike Varshavski, w...

http://youtu.be/WMyAxivxzUk The smell may be hell but the mist could leave you pissed. Two Australian doctors are weighing in about the spread of the coronavirus “down under” — whether it can be spread through farts, that is. During Friday’s episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Coronacast” podcast, producer and host Dr. Norman Swan made a cautionary suggestion when it comes to particles of feces set adrift within a fart and the spread of COVID-19. “No bare-bottom farting,” Swan advised about posterior pandemic panic, in a measured, mildly amused tone. “Luckily, we wear a mask, which covers our farts all the time,” Swan said, referring to the protective aspects of pants, shorts, dresses, underwear and other garments. “I think that what we should do in terms of social d...

http://youtu.be/Xc06BglzqTA White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci is urging caution about relying on coronavirus antibody tests to determine whether someone who has recovered from the illness is immune. Fauci said on “Good Morning America” that “we still have a way to go” with antibody, or serology, tests, which check for proteins in the immune system through a blood sample. The presence of proteins means a person was exposed to the coronavirus and developed antibodies against it, which may mean they have at least some immunity. Health officials suggested that tests could be used as a way to help determine when to reopen communities. “The problem is that these are tests that need to be validated and calibrated, and many of the tests out there don’t do that. So ev...
