Adnkronos - ultimoratop: Cannes 2026, giorno 8: riflettori su Pedro Almodovar, presenta 'Amarga Navidad'news dalla nostra inviata

(Adnkronos) - Protagonista dell’ottava giornata del 79esimo Festival di Cannes è Pedro Almodóvar, che presenta in Concorso ‘Amarga Navidad’ insieme a un cast corale, dove figurano la sua musa Rossy de Palma, Barbara Lennie, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Aitana Sanchez-Gijon e Victoria Luengo. Il film intreccia due linee temporali - il 2004 e il 2026 - e attraverso il racconto di due storie si interroga sull’autofinzione, chiedendosi fino a che punto un autore possa spingersi nel racconto e se le vite degli altri siano un territorio proibito oppure una materia da cui attingere liberamente, anche quando tocca dolori altrui. La Croisette accoglie un altro grande ritorno: quello del regista russo Andreï Zvjagincev, che presenta in Concorso ‘Minotaur', il suo nuovo film a nove anni da ‘Loveless’. Un’assenza lunga e dolorosa, durante la quale è quasi morto a causa del Covid che lo ha costretto a passare molti mesi in una clinica in Germania, dovendo reimparare a muovere gli arti. E poi la guerra in Ucraina e la rottura con la Russia. E questo film, che lui definisce pacifista, si oppone alla guerra condotta dal regime di Putin attraverso il racconto delle conseguenze del conflitto attraverso la vita coniugale. A Cannes arriva anche l’attore e regista Andy Garcia con 'Diamond', da lui scritto e diretto. Il film è una dichiarazione d’amore a Los Angeles e un omaggio ai classici intramontabili del genere noir. Nel cast, oltre Garcia, Brendan Fraser, Dustin Hoffman, Bill Murray e Vicky Krieps.

Cannes 2026, Day 8: Spotlight on Pedro Almodóvar, presents ‘Bitter Streets’ news from our correspondent

(Adnkronos) – Pedro Almodóvar is the protagonist of the eighth day of the 79th Cannes Film Festival, presenting ‘Bitter Christmas’ in Competition alongside a choral cast, featuring his muse Rossy de Palma, Barbara Lennie, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Aitana Sanchez-Gijon and Victoria Luengo. The film intertwines two time lines – 2004 and 2026 – and through the telling of two stories, it questions autofiction, asking to what extent an author can push themselves in the narrative and whether the lives of others are a forbidden territory or a freely accessed material, even when touching on the pain of others. The Croisette welcomes another major return: that of Russian director Andrei Zvyagintsev, presenting ‘Minotaur’ in Competition, his new film nine years after ‘Loveless’. A long and painful absence, during which he almost died from Covid, which forced him to spend many months in a clinic in Germany, having to relearn how to move his limbs. And then the war in Ukraine and the rupture with Russia. And this film, which he defines as pacifist, opposes the war waged by the Putin regime through the telling of the consequences of the conflict through the lives of a couple. Andy Garcia also arrives in Cannes with ‘Diamond’, written and directed by him. The film is a declaration of love to Los Angeles and a tribute to the timeless classics of the noir genre. In the cast, in addition to Garcia, Brendan Fraser, Dustin Hoffman, Bill Murray and Vicky Krieps.

Does anyone on here know where to find this recent Swiss Re Institute Covid report? I don't see it on Swiss Re's site, nor do I see any recent news articles mentioning it.

#Covid #SwissRe

Alt...

Screenshot of a Twitter post from Mike Hoerger: The Swiss Re Institute suggests COVID will kill about 150,000 Americans this year (excess deaths), so it's more like a bad cancer than a bad flu. I would suggest talking to scientists who do Covid research and continue to take it seriously. My wife and I lead separate PhD programs. We homeschool so that our children do not experience the brain damage and other health problems from reinfections, which continue to pose a serious burden in 2026. It remains the most common chronic health condition in kids. A key reason why it might appear "milder" is that about 2 million Americans have died from COVlD (excess deaths). Wipe out 2 million people most vulnerable to any health problem, it will almost always appear acutely milder.

@mcnado I am looking at our PHO Bonnie Henry in British Columbia, doing a 'mild' presser over Hanta on a long holiday weekend (even jaded media caught that) - and if Ebola hits Canada she will turn to herd immunity

In baseball 3 strikes, you're out - she fucked SARS1, SARS2, now likely Hanta

and keeps failing upwards

Chise has a nice thread on bsky about a study published in the NEJM showing ensitrelvir, an antiviral, is an effective post exposure treatment for #COVID
#COVID19. It has already been approved in Japan and is currently under consideration in Europe and the US.

COVID and the Hantavirus.

Trump is a debilitating disease all his own so why does there have to be a pandemic every time he’s in the White House as well?

Before he joined the Trump administration last year, Christine was an Alabama-based urologist who specialized in penile implants. He has little public health experience and a history of far-right commentary and promoting conspiracy theories. He’s said the Covid pandemic led to a wider government plot to control people, compared the Biden administration to Nazi Germany and suggested the Covid vaccine had little effect in stopping the pandemic.

He once hosted a YouTube show called “Erection Connection,” a professional YouTube series on erectile dysfunction for fellow urologists.

I posted the OP as follower only & rather than redo the thread, here is the OP again. Broken into two posts. Please also read above posts made public.

If you liked, (or didn’t like) the podcast I posted on data wars you might like this where ~a year prior I predicted the inevitability of #covid & its relation to physical effects of Misinfo & Disinfo. Unreliable flows of info & mistrust in the environment, in the whole undivided interbeing…

Hi, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average hasn't been updated since 4/28, so I'm skipping it this week. The other two sites did get updated, and they follow this toot.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

Repubblica.it: A Tienanmen e al Tempio del cielo, insieme in una Pechino blindata:“Due pesci che devono coesistere”

La stampa locale sottolinea il bisogno di collaborare. La gente mostra entusiasmo ma non dimentica le polemiche sul Covid

At Tiananmen Square and the Temple of Heaven, together in a fortified Beijing: “Two fish that must coexist.”

The local press emphasizes the need for collaboration. People show enthusiasm but don’t forget the Covid controversies.

Hantavirusul este foarte diferit de 🦠#COVID. Iată de ce virusul nu va provoca următoarea pandemie.

@quarantegan.bsky.social @Scienceisnotopinions ** The video is a must watch. **
TK;DR — #HantaVirus spreads fast. It is easy to catch in just a few moments exposure. Be alert to what happens next.

One of the reporters got it exactly right. “What you just told us, doctor, is frankly terrifying.” The doctor, an expert, also explicitly said “the messaging” heard in the report from CDC et. al., is just plain wrong. He said people need the facts so they can protect their health appropriately. He was not alarmist, just straight.

I’m reminded of the December before the #COVID quarantine, when a few individuals in China had been hospitalized, and soon died, from an unknown virus. In two months it spread around the world. That’s where we are, now, again. As a society we can and must do a better job this time. #MaskUp friends.
