Dr. Mark Pochapin, the Vice-Chair for Clinical Affairs at NYU Langone, is one of the many healthcare professionals around the country who are on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak. In a new interview with Katie Couric, part of a video series with TIME, he describes how medical workers are struggling to adapt and banding together in the face of a pandemic. Up until recently, Pochapin says he was responsible for gathering physicians from different areas of expertise to help and care for patients that have COVID-19, a disease that he says “we’re learning about in real-time.” “To me that’s the most difficult part of the whole thing,” Dr. Pochapin tells Couric. “We spend our entire careers as physicians studying, learning, understanding and here, we’re trying to get the information i...

The Bladed Staff is a weapon for Aerith.

The biggest draw, however, is its unique ability, Lustrous Shield. This is a perfect ability for Aerith, as it enables her to stay put on her Arcane Ward a bit easier.  As mentioned earlier, the Bladed Staff is very easy to miss, especially if you don't take care to Assess every enemy you come across. The only way to get the Bladed Staff is to steal it off the  Chapter 11 - Haunted final boss, Eligor. You'll encounter Eligor right after the main scenario "Clear the Way." You'll see a bench and a vending machine, so take that as your cue to get ready. Of course, ...

Anthony Fauci told Telemundo's "Un Nuevo Dia" Monday he thought Brad Pitt "did great" in his portrayal of him in the second "SNL at Home" cold open that skewered President Trump's response to the novel coronavirus. What he's saying: "I think he showed that he is really a classy guy when at the end he took off his hair and thanked me and all of the health care workers," Fauci said. "So not only is he a really great actor, but he is actually a classy person." Driving the news: In a CNN interview this month, Fauci was asked what were the chances of someone portraying him on "Saturday Night Live." "I have no idea," Fauci said. "I hope not." But after a few big names were suggested, including the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ...
