The whole idea of going out for dinner to a restaurant with live music is out of the question these days. Or is it?

At Paragon—a restaurant on top of Queen Anne Hill that has a new chef, relatively new owners, and a stage for musicians to perform on—they are thinking boldly about meeting this moment, and they are onto something.

Last Saturday night at Paragon’s invitation, I tried out the Paragon Supper Club, which happens every other Saturday. The step-by-step story of my experience is below...

The spread in the states

Using criteria provided by the White House, analysts at Covidexitstrategy.org are tracking each state’s progress in reducing symptoms and case numbers and conducting testing.

The group of public health and crisis experts includes members from the U.S. Digital Response and Duke University’s Margolis Center for Health Policy and has built the website to track each state’s progress toward stopping the spread of COVID-19. Members of the team have experience working at the White House, Department of Health and Human Services and on the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, the website says.

The group says a downward trajectory of illness reported and of documented cases is critical. So far, not many states have a downward trend, but several are getting close.

Once a coronavirus vaccine is approved as safe and effective, Americans should have widespread access within a reasonable time, Dr. Anthony Fauci assured lawmakers Friday.

Appearing before a House panel investigating the nation’s response to the pandemic, Fauci expressed “cautious” optimism that a vaccine would be available, particularly by next year.

“I believe, ultimately, over a period of time in 2021, that Americans will be able to get it,” Fauci said, referring to the vaccine.

There will be a priority list for who gets early vaccinations. “I don’t think we will have everybody getting it immediately,” Fauci explained.

But “ultimately, within a reasonable time, the plans allow for any American who ne...

Gov. Inslee Says: Protests have not increased the spread of of COVID-19 in Seattle. This has nothing to do with how Inslee feels about the protests. It’s an observation backed by “strong evidence.” But why doesn’t COVID-19 spread as easily in a Black Lives Matter protest than does at, say, a Trump rally? Inslee guess is it’s the almost universal use of face masks by protesters. Nothing of the kind happened at the Tulsa Trump rally that likely killed that sorriest of black pizza businessmen, Herman Cain. (He may now be with the God of all Godfathers.) But why is mask use so prevalent at BLM protests? Because they are about democracy. The men and women on the streets are demanding the enhancement of black American rights.

This Means Two Things: one, it’s easier for a BLM protestor to acce...

We’ve known since early in the pandemic that age is a major risk factor for becoming severely ill or dying from COVID-19. Those disparities are becoming more stark as quarantine fatigue and economic reopening has spurred more infections in younger age groups, but the recent record spike in deaths is still spurred mostly by our elders.

This chart above clearly shows  that some of the younger adult age groups are infected more frequently than children or older adults, who make up a smaller portion of the population, but older adults are still the majority of deaths.

An astounding 8 out of 10 coronavirus deaths have been adults 65 and older, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data...

In Netflix’s new documentary series “Immigration Nation,” the filmmakers won unprecedented access to the inner workings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, showing how ICE agents do their jobs as well as the toll of their work on immigrant and refugee families.

The Ron Howard-directed “Rebuilding Paradise” from National Geographic Documentary Films tracks the devastating impact of the Camp Fire on Paradise, California as its residents struggle to recover over the year that followed that November 2018 wildfire.

“The Last Narc,” a four-part docuseries on Amazon Prime, tells the story of the 1985 murder of DEA Agent Kiki Camarena by the Guadalajara cartel, posing the disturbing question of what the CIA knew and did or did not about that crime.

Relief has turned to grief for theme park operators who anxiously awaited reopening this summer only to find themselves reducing hours, cutting back on weekly operating days and dropping reservation requirements even as they contend with state-mandated attendance caps.

Lower than expected attendance has forced regional theme parks across the United States to reassess their operating plans after reopening following extended coronavirus closures.

Which begs the obvious question: Are visitors ready to return to theme parks this summer?

جایگاه رستوران های سنتی در بین مردم

آیا تا به حال با خودتان فکر کرده اید که چرا رستوران های سنتی جایگاه ویژه ای را بین مردم دارند؟ یا اینکه چرا بسیاری از خانواده ها تمایل دارند در این رستوران ها غذاها سرو کنند؟  دلایل بسیاری در این زمینه وجود دارد اما مهم ترین آنها فضای گرم و دوستانه در این رستوران ها می باشد که تداعی کننده ی محیط گرم خانه و خانواده است. در محیط چنین رستوران هایی اغلب میز و صندلی نیست و افراد روی یک تخت دور سفره می نشینند...
