Some health experts are concerned about the switch. Speaking to The New York Times on Tuesday, various officials noted that requiring hospitals to report information to a government entity risks partisan manipulation of data. They also pointed out that the Health Department’s database, where hospitals will submit numbers related to COVID-19 patients, resources and capacities, is not publicly accessible. “Only the CDC has the expertise to collect data. I think any move to take responsibility away from the people who have the expertise is politicizing,” said Florida congresswoman and former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala in comments to the Times....

One of the top pitching prospects in the minors, Heaney took his game to a new level while pitching at Triple-A this season. The 23-year-old posted a 2.74 ERA with a 27-2 K-to-BB ratio in 23 innings for New Orleans and was even better at Double-A before his promotion. The talented lefthander doesn’t have a dominant pitch, but he has three above-average offerings and a smooth, repeatable delivery. Heaney’s stuff plays up because he has some deception and he is effective at locating to both sides of the plate....

Almost 35 million people will be affected by sweltering temperatures across the country, and heat advisories have been issued for many areas, CNN reported. The National Weather Service has also warned of high temperatures in nearly every part of the country. At the moment, the only states not expected to see searing temperatures are areas in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, and North Dakota. Parts of California, Texas and Georgia are even expected to reach triple digits in the coming days....

Boston’s run was stopped at 16 consecutive wins as the Heat brought the Celtics back down to earth following a memorable unbeaten sequence. Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said Boston’s winning streak would not continue if they did not get better. He was completely right. Boston dug themselves in a hole once again midweek, only this time they were unable to get out of it. The Celtics were down 27-16 after the first quarter and spent most of the game trailing by double-digits....

The former Champion has been relegated to the mid-card on WWE TV throughout his career, despite being part of successful factions including The Nexus and 3MB. In recent years, Slater has been the jobber at the same level as Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, which has meant that he hasn’t been afforded much TV time. Last night on Raw, R-Truth lost the 24/7 Championship to 2019 Nascar Cup Champion Kyle Busch, before he later regained it when the show went off the air to become a 24-time Champion....

Silverman, who has been leading the Sons of Orpheus since they were organized four years ago, occupies one of the fastest-growing job categories in California, hyphenated therapists. He is a drummer-therapist, which, as he likes to point out, until recently in most cultures amounted to the same thing. The drum was humanity’s first big advance in medical technology, a doorway to the spirit world’s healing powers. “A piccolo will get you there,” Silverman says, “but a drum will get you there quicker....

Strowman and Reigns are easily two of the biggest stars in the WWE today but at Hell in a Cell only one of them can have their hand raised. The shadow of The Shield will also be present throughout the match as the Hell in a Cell structure is no guarantee that they cannot get involved in the match. There are a lot of interesting ways that the WWE can book this match....

Though it is unfortunate that the free trial is no longer available, the decision makes fairly obvious financial sense. Allowing users to view big budget blockbusters on release day using a free trial was never going to fly, and now those who want to see Wonder Woman, or anything else on HBO Max, will have to pay for at least a month of HBO Max. That’s about $15 dollars, and all things considered, it’s not a bad price considering you get access to both the film and the rest of the HBO Max library for the whole month....

HC Bloemendaal – the oldest hockey club in the Netherlands – has been chosen as the venue for the semifinals of the upcoming Euro Hockey League’s KO16 event, which is scheduled to be held next month. According to the European Hockey Federation (EHF), the organizers of the event, the semifinals and the final would be a two-day affair – the two semifinals would be held on May 18th, while the third place play-off tie and the final showdown would be held on May 19....

This article will explain your options and what you need to know about maintaining health coverage until you can transition to Medicare. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made health insurance coverage when retiring before age 65 a much less challenging situation. This is especially true for people with medical conditions or limited finances—both of which could be obstacles for early retirees seeking coverage in the pre-ACA era. And the American Rescue Plan (ARP) has improved the ACA’s affordability provisions through the end of 2022....

Hearthstone’s seasonal system operates on a yearly release cycle, complete with its own set of fantasy horoscope animals.

Last week, we reported that Hillary Clinton–and by that we mean an intrepid staffer–had been blasting “Small Town” and “Our Country” by Indiana native John Mellencamp after her rallies ever since Barack Obama’s controversial comments about blue-collar “bitter”-ness went public the previous Friday. In theory, it was a smart move: signal your “heartland” origins, suggest a contrast with your “arugula-eating” opponent and show Hoosier State voters, who have the potential to decide the nomination on May 6, that you understand their “culture....

Temperatures soared in several areas in North America last weekend, as Washington saw the heat rise to well above 100F, and Portland, Oregon, recorded all-time highs for several days in a row, including 116F on Sunday.

Slater made his return on the opening segment of this week’s RAW and challenged Drew McIntyre to a match, one that the latter wasn’t willing to go forward with.
