D.C. Lifts Indoor Mask Mandate With Eye On COVID-19 Response Revisions
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Tom Williams / Getty Officials in Washington D.C. under the direction of Mayor Muriel Bowser have made the decision to lift the city’s indoor mask mandate, leaving residents and visitors, and workers to follow present guidelines and still requiring masks to be worn in public spaces and other settings where people gather to protect against the spreading of COVID-19. The decision, announced in a statement by Mayor Bowser on Tuesday (November 16th), means that the mask mandate will cease on Monday, November 22nd. Masks will still be required, regardless of vaccination for those riding public transportation and for those using rideshare vehicles. They also will be required inside child care facilities, schools, nursing homes, correctional facilities, and shel...
Eric Clapton Talks Anti-Vax Nonsense with Anti-Vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Former rock icon and current loony Eric Clapton doubled down on his COVID-19 trutherism in a conversation with noted anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on the latter’s podcast, The Defender. As Clapton explained, holding anti-science beliefs has taken a toll on his mental health. “I thought I was going crazy,” he said, though he rationalized it with an acronym he found on the internet. “I think everybody I know has got, what do they call it? CAS [Covid Anxiety Syndrome], everybody I know is unsettled about it,” Clapton said. He added, “The lifesaving part of it was I’d found a group of people who were inviting me to talk about it because I couldn’t talk about it anywhere.” In fact, Clapton feels more committed to this cause than ever before. “It’s funny, because t...

Why Managed Services are the Data Solution that Africa Needs
Gerhard Fourie, Channel Lead at Commvault Africa. While the African market is by no means homogenous, there are certain common challenges faced across the region that make data management a challenging prospect. This includes access to technology and hardware, as well as access to the specialist skills required to effectively implement and manage this technology. Combined with the data explosion being experienced across the globe, this creates a difficult situation. Managed service providers (MSPs) are perfectly positioned to help address this need, offering shared platform services for a fraction of the cost of procuring hardware, as well as skills and value-added services that can help businesses in the region leverage real value from their data. A challenging technology environment Acce...

Taxxed: The NFL Fines KAaron Rodgers & the Green Bay Packers For COVID Jig
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Christian Petersen / Getty The National Football League is clamping down on how their teams are moving during the pandemic. They have fined Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers for violating Covid-19 guidelines. As spotted on The New York Times the all-star quarterback fumbled a big play earlier this summer and now is paying for it. During a question and answer session with local media the Chico, California native was asked if he was vaccinated and he responded “I’m immunized”. His answer was largely received by the public that he was vaccinated but he was not. Where he got in trouble with the league was by attending a Halloween party with fellow teammate Allen Lazard as the NFL prohibits unvaccinated players from gathering outside of team facilit...
Two Puppets Feud as Ted Cruz Attacks Big Bird Over COVID-19 Vaccine
Big Bird, a bird-like puppet, got his COVID-19 vaccine over the weekend, leading Senator Ted Cruz, a human-like puppet, to attack the Sesame Street institution as, “Government propaganda… for your five year old!” “I got the COVID-19 vaccine today!” Big Bird tweeted on Saturday, November 6th. “My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.” The decision to inoculate the eight-foot anthropomorphic canary is unlikely to be controversial with the vast majority of the population, considering that 67% of Americans of all ages, and 78% of those 12 and up, have received at least their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccines. Besides that, health experts agree that the vaccines are safe for children (Big Bird is canonically...
Van Morrison Sued by Northern Ireland Health Minister Over COVID-19 Criticism
Northern Ireland Health Minister Robin Swann is suing Northern Irish songwriter Van Morrison for defamation over his “bizarre and irresponsible” COVID-19 criticisms, the Associated Press reports. Morrison has been ruining his legacy chafing at pandemic restrictions ever since they began, referring to socially-distanced concerts as “pseudo-science” and even releasing an anti-lockdown song series. He publicly criticized Swann on at least three occasions, calling him “a fraud” and “very dangerous.” Swann first fought back in an op-ed in Rolling Stone, writing that Morrison’s “words will give great comfort to the conspiracy theorists – the tin foil hat brigade who crusade against masks and vaccines.” Advertisement Related Video Now, he’s bringing the bat...

Offsides: Green Bay Packer QB Aaron Rodgers Never Got Vaccinated
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Christian Petersen / Getty Fake news is still a thing even after Donald Trump got shown the exit door. Come to find out Green Bay Packer Aaron Rodgers never got his shot even though multiple outlets reported he did. Various reports have revealed that the NFL superstar has tested positive for Covid-19. As per the league guidelines, he will have to sit out their next game against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, November 7. While he isn’t the first high-profile player to contract the virus, and probably not the last, his story is pretty interesting.
