Maryland-Ohio State Game Canceled Due to COVID-19

Posted: November 11, 2020

Saturday’s Maryland-Ohio State game, which was canceled and won’t be made up. Maryland paused all team activities on Wednesday after eight players have tested positive for the virus over the past week.

“There is nothing more important than the health and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches and staff,” Maryland athletic director Damon Evans said in a statement. “We realize that this news is disappointing to all of the Maryland fans out there who were looking forward to the Terps taking on an outstanding Ohio State team, but the responsible thing for us to do is pause football activities, given the number of positive cases currently in our program.”

2020 Election and the COVID-19 Pandemic Are Over

Posted: November 7, 2020

Over the past eight months, CNN has become the go-to network for alarmist coverage of the coronavirus outbreak, but the anti-Trump channel sang a different tune on Saturday as thousands gathered in cities across the country to celebrate Joe Biden’s election victory.

However, the network’s concerns about the possible spread of the virus were virtually non-existent Saturday.

And suddenly people gathering in large crowds and not social distancing is no longer considered irresponsible by the media https://t.co/JisiiJJr78

The pandemic is over! Media has stopped calling gatherings “superspreader events!” https://t.co/WYuOHEgRkV

How the media shifted so abruptly from "anyone going to a spacious beach is a super-spreading monster killing Grandma" to "these mass, densely populated protests with people screaming on top of each other are so inspiring" was one of 2020's most credibility-destroying media acts: https://t.co/8f0ZGe00iq

This is all perfectly fine because, as we’ve learned, covid is a politically enlightened virus that spares those with the correct ideological leanings https://t.co/groESOv51h

Wondering how media is going to explain away COVID spikes with no Trump rallies anymore. Excited to find out! https://t.co/rSKA97mFb5

Japanese Howling ‘Monster Wolf’ Robots

Posted: November 6, 2020

A wolf robot that can roar and flash its eyes red to scare off brown bears entering populated areas has been introduced in this city in Japan’s northernmost prefecture after a steep rise in sightings of the animals in residential parts of the city.

The “monster wolf” developed by a firm in the Hokkaido town of Naie and others was installed by the Takikawa Municipal Government in September in a bid to “avoid friction between residents and bears.” The initiative marks the first time for the mechanical wolf to be deployed in front of general housing, and since its arrival on the scene, there have been no eyewitness reports of bears. An individual connected to its installation said reassuringly, “At the very least it’s effective in making residents feel at ease.”
