According to KFOR, 47-year-old Brian Karnes, as well as his wife, Rebekah, and their five daughters, all tested positive for the virus in March. Within a week of getting sick, Brian was in the intensive care unit at INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City. “His lungs were failing, and oxygenation just wasn’t holding up,” Rebekah, a nurse practitioner, said. COVID-19 hindered Brian’s lungs from expanding and caused right-sided heart failure....

In the early evening of August 5, 2018, I was sitting in a Mexican restaurant with some friends in the town of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Lombok. We had just been on a sunset boat-trip together and were discussing what to do for the rest of the evening. But as we sat together, planning our next adventure, we heard an extremely loud rumbling noise. Initially, I just thought that someone had turned the bass up too high on the restaurant speakers....

Barcelona 19/20 to win La Liga Along with the South American duo, the Brazil star, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday for a world-record €222 million, formed one third of the famed ‘MSN’ offensive trio that is regarded as one of the best forward lines in the history of the game. Neymar is sad to have ended that relationship but is grateful for the time spent together. “Brothers, I wish you all the best....

In that first surge, Chicago where I work was hit pretty hard, but not as badly as places like New York or Detroit. Our hospital saw a huge number of patients sick with the virus, but we shut down nearly all elective procedures and essentially turned the whole hospital into a COVID-19 hospital—we tripled or quadrupled our intensive care unit (ICU) space. The fact that we scraped through without being totally overwhelmed was both close and only because of all the adjustments we made....

The issues couples come to therapy with are most often what I’ll call “Big P” reasons. The “P” here stands for problems, like an affair that just got uncovered, an addiction that is wreaking havoc or one person who wants to leave. These types of issues can be caused by underlying trauma but they can also cause trauma to one or both. The pandemic, in my mind, has been an example of this kind of “Big P” problem....

Shortly afterward, I went to school and told one of the Catholic nuns who taught me that I saw one of her loved ones passing away soon. I don’t remember how she reacted, but I know I was treated differently after that. I’m a fifth generation witch, which means I come from a long line of women who believe they harness the ability to practice magic. Because of my family history, my grandmother thought my predictions meant I had psychic and medium abilities....

And then we were recruited to go to Texas to do outreach work —not exactly missionary stuff, because we weren’t trying to convert anyone to Judaism; but rather to enrich the lives and strengthen the connection with people who are already Jewish. I was already involved in kosher certification before, so when I got to San Antonio I became head of the local kosher agency. I got most of my training and experience there, and when I left San Antonio for Houston, I started my own kosher agency....

Before the Group C match got underway in Prague some German fans were heard shouting alleged Nazi-era chants, while the Czech national anthem was also targeted. Germany 7/1 to beat Norway 1-0 Germany’s players opted not to applaud their travelling support after the 2-1 win because of the incidents, with match-winner Mats Hummels labelling those responsible as “hooligans”. Low rounded on the culprits on Sunday as he previewed Germany’s next qualifying match with Norway, condemning their actions and insisting they do not represent what the national team stands for....

The Reds bowed out of the competition on home soil on Wednesday, with the Saints completing a 2-0 aggregate success. Has Mourinho mocked Klopp? They will now face Manchester United at Wembley on February 26, with Jose Mourinho stating after his Red Devils edged out Hull City on Thursday: “Normally the stadium is windy and it’s difficult.” The Portuguese was assumed to be taking a sly dig at Klopp, but the Liverpool boss is sticking to his guns....

I left that company in 2002 and was suffering quite badly from depression, so a friend called Frank suggested I come and do a bit of driving for him to get me out of the house. I started doing fruit and vegetable delivery early in the morning, so when I finished around midday, I would pass by and see Matt. We’d go for a coffee and we became close friends....

So one day I decided to try it: a year of no garbage. I’m an author and I’ve attempted weird projects like this before, so my husband and two daughters were wary but not entirely surprised. They’d been through a Year of No Sugar when the kids were small and a Year of No Clutter as young teenagers, so what was one more bonkers life-changing experiment? Mind you, before this project began, I’d always thought of myself as environmentally self-aware....

Buijs fronted on Tuesday after arriving in Australia on Monday, with the 28-year-old embracing the pressure that comes with joining the undefeated A-League leaders. With temperatures barely getting above freezing in the Netherlands at the moment, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Buijs initially struggled playing in the heat of the Australian summer as many other foreign players have before him. But the former De Graafschap and NAC Breda centre-back claimed he is used to the heat after a short stint with Romanian club Pandurii Targu Jiu....

Mary Ellen Sucato, who told the Denver Post that she has lived in the neighborhood for almost 50 years, was surprised to see an enormous chunk of debris fall from the sky before nearly crashing into the home opposite hers. Sucato said she wondered if the town was bearing witness to extraterrestrial visitors. “At first, I thought it was part of a UFO,” she recalled, according to the Post. Earlier, the 81-year-old reportedly remembered questioning whether “we were under attack” in additional comments to the newspaper....

My uncles were charismatic and physically fit. Women liked them, and they liked women. They modeled that it was okay to date several at one time; in fact, that made you a man. Falling in love? Now that was weak. Trusting women? That was dangerous. My uncles defined masculinity for me. They taught me how to “man up.” And it took having my own son to begin to unlearn those lessons....

The 26-year-old’s contract with the Emirates side is up in the summer, and while the Gunners remain optimistic about securing the England man on a new long-term deal, he continues to be linked with a move away on a Bosman. The player fuelled that speculation by revealing that manager Arsene Wenger told him he was free to leave last summer. Among the leading pack for the player are the Toffees, with manager Allardyce doing little to quell speculation on Thursday....

Guardiola warns Barcelona doubters The Colombia international centre-back, 22, is close to agreeing terms with the Catalan side and is likely to join them in the summer – and the Brazilian has backed him to be a hit. “I have no doubt that he can succeed with Barcelona,” Cuca told Goal. “I don’t know if he’ll go there or not, but the way he is playing for Palmeiras is good enough for him to play at Barcelona or any other great European club....

A £47.5million signing from the Toffees, Stones has endured a tough start to life at City, coming under fire following a number of underwhelming performances. Explained: Man City’s FA charge After largely impressing during the opening weeks of his career at the Etihad Stadium, the 22-year-old ball-playing England international suffered a dip in form under manager Pep Guardiola amid stinging criticism. Stones, however, admits his performances were not up to scratch as the team struggled for results....

I would describe myself as a quiet person; I don’t go out very often because I don’t make much money. For the past 20 months I have been living in a one-bedroom apartment and although I know some of my neighbors, it is a quiet building. In the first week of May, I didn’t notice anything unusual at all, either in my apartment or in the building overall, although there was an strange smell....

The post, which was shared by u/moshpitb**ch on Tuesday, has received more than 13,000 votes and showed the alleged email that informed employees when they would not be able to take time off from work. Vacation blackout periods may be put in place if a company expects an increase in business, according to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). “While the blackout rules should be applied in a fair manner, in some instances, making reasonable accommodations for employees who have an urgent need for leave may be appropriate,” the organization said....

Cleveland is the place to be Tuesday if you are a sports fan. PHOTOS: Best images from Cleveland’s NBA championship parade After years of suffering, James and Co. will headline the championship ceremony before the season-opening game against the Knicks inside Quicken Loans Arena after guiding the Cavs to their first title. Across Gateway Plaza, the Indians set out to end their 68-year World Series drought. “It’s going to be great....
