While we’re at it, let’s admit something more basic. The system would be failing even under a halfway competent president. The dirty little secret, which will soon become apparent to all, is that there is no real public health system in the United States. The ad hoc response fashioned late Friday by House Democrats and the White House may help a bit, although it’s skimpy, as I’ll explain. As the coronavirus outbreak in the United States follows the same grim exponential growth path first displayed in Wuhan, China, before herculean measures were put in place to slow its spread there, America is waking up to the fact that it has almost no public capacity to deal with it....

Ozil trolls ’experts' The club hope to be included in Football Federation Australia’s next A-League expansion, though they are also prepared to play in a second-tier competition first. And, such is their commitment to moving forward, they have appointed the Brazil legend. “My idea would be to come here and keep winning and continue that mentality and keep winning things," Carlos said at Lakeside Stadium on Monday. “If I go to a club and marry a project, I go to win....

Moreno is expected to sign an initial contract until the end of this season with an option to extend his stay by another year. His first task will be to take the club back into contention for Champions League qualification. Monaco sacked Jardim after just 11 months into his second stint at Stade Louis II. The decision came due to the Ligue 1 side’s poor showing this season, as they are 17 points behind the leaders PSG....

Meanwhile other users say that “the entire game is lagging” and that there are serious framerate drops as well, with Rock Band 4 going as high as 60 FPS (frames per second) only to drop back down to 20 FPS and it’s “very noticeable.” Rock Band 4 players are also reporting problems with the game’s accessories as well. Earlier this week, the game’s co-publisher Mad Catz did apologize for the lack of Rock Band 4 instruments and legacy adapters available, but on top of that, it seems that those who have been lucky enough to get their hands on the instrument bundles are experiencing problems too....

But its success doesn’t just come from brand names and aesthetics. Rocket League hits the ideal of easy to learn but hard to master, with an intuitive game system that gives players plenty of fine control. RELATED: Rocket League: How To Trade It’s no surprise that Rocket League has a free-to-play mobile spinoff. Rocket League Sideswipe seems simpler than its big brother at first, stuck on a 2D plane and lacking Rocket League’s 3 vs 3 matches, but this little game hides its own tech, like its version of the iconic air roll....

Blackmon, leading off the frame with Colorado down three, had gone hitless in his first four plate appearances of the night. After Meals deemed a cutter high and outside to be a third strike, the left-hander turned and berated the veteran umpire. The Rockies’ broadcast picked up the full extent of his word choices, and the many expletives involved. MORE: Behind former phenom Tim Melville’s long-awaited first win Blackmon did have reason to be upset....

The Rockies ace was demoted to Triple-A Albuquerque after posting a 2-6 record with a 7.13 ERA in 12 starts this season. Freeland was particularly bad in May, posting a 10.17 ERA in six starts while allowing 29 earned runs and 11 homers. This comes one year after Freeland was fantastic in Colorado posting a 17-7 record with a 2.85 ERA and finishing fourth in the National League Cy Young voting....

He slammed his bat over his right knee, splitting it in half after a strikeout with the potential tying run at third base in the seventh inning. Connecting with the ball? Not so much. It was the same old story for the Colorado Rockies in Game 2 of the NL Division Series: Their power-laden lineup couldn’t score runs. No wonder they’re down 2-0 in the series following a 4-0 loss on Friday at Miller Park....

While rumors have been circulating for years, GTA 6 was only officially confirmed to be in the works via a Tweet in February 2022 - though current Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier reports that it has been in development since 2014. Even with all that time in development, not a lot is currently known about the game. So far, it’s suspected that GTA 6 will take place in the Grand Theft Auto universe’s fictionalized version of Miami, known as Vice City....

John Needham, Global Head of esports at Riot Games, revealed a bunch of new information to kick start the second decade of League of Legends esports. He claims that the 2021 Season is set to be the biggest and most eventful season in the history of League of Legends. Additionally, Riot’s Global Head of Esports also revealed that Wild Rift Open Beta’s massive success guarantees a bright future in esports for the handheld title....

In the six years since 2009, Sri Lankans have almost forgotten that there was a war that had clambered onto the shoulders of its people. Life was suddenly peaceful, travels were idyllic, kites instead of war planes were in the sky and streets that once had bombs detonating regularly had middle stumps cartwheeling. Be that as it may, cricket in Sri Lanka was given a special place, during and after the war....

On Saturday at Shamrock FC 285 in Kansas City, you had a double knockout between Alan Vasquez and Axel Cazares. Then on the same day in Dagestan, in a fight between highly touted prospect Vladimir Mineev and Aziz Dzhumaniyazov, a riot nearly ensued. The round appeared to end when Dzhumaniyazov kicked Mineev. Not happy about what happened, Mineev punched Dzhumaniyazov to head. In something you couldn’t script, the fans in crowd rushed the ring and a brawl broke out....

Over the past three nights, Black Lives Matter protesters have gathered to bring attention to the incident, but violent events have continued during this time. People have been injured during these protests, and stores have been looted by those who are trying to take advantage of the situation. Just as many others, the gaming lounge in the town did not make it out of the chaos unscathed and used Facebook to left people know the extent of the damages....

All that’s about to change. Revolutionaries nowadays are about as popular as Fidel Castro, and Apple has fashioned a credo more suited to the times: “Fit in.” Determined to boost its too-slender share of the exploding market for home and business computers, the digital venues of tomorrow, top management is ready to commit what would once have been corporate apostasy. That’s to license Apple’s coveted operating system (the digital codes that tell your computer what to do) in hopes of creating a burgeoning new market of Mac “clones....

Cold Darkness Awakened will take Rise of the Tomb Raider’s fierce heroine to a decommissioned research base in Siberia that was operational during the Cold War, as Lara is tasked with shutting it down once more. Of course, doing so won’t be that easy for her, for she’s set to encounter “an army of nightmarish predators” intent on multiplying their numbers and inflicting violence in any way possible. As seen below, Rise of the Tomb Raider’s new DLC has also received a fresh trailer, and it gives gaming fans a taste of the action to come....

Rohit Sharma is now India’s white-ball captain, but he has been plagued by fitness issues for a few years now and isn’t a long-term all-format option. KL Rahul has been completely pedestrian with his captaincy both in the Indian Premier League and in the limited opportunities he has got for India, and it doesn’t seem like he can inspire this team to the heights it achieved under Kohli and MS Dhoni....

The 2016 Carolina Panthers would be an example of such a team. After going 15-1 in 2015 and advancing to the Super Bowl, Carolina entered the 2016 season as a favourite in the NFC, but they faltered badly, finishing 6-10 and missing the playoffs. Conversely, there always seems to be at least one club not expected to perform that winds up making a postseason push. Super Bowl-winning teams like the ‘81 San Francisco 49ers, ‘99 St Louis Rams and ‘01 New England Patriots are the best examples in the ‘worst-to-first’ club....

The incident occurred on the Danube river early on Saturday, between Romania’s Tulcea and Izmail in the Odessa region of Ukraine. The Prinzessin Isabella set off from Vienna on September 29 and was carrying 165 people at the time of the crash, tracking data shows. The riverboat, heading downstream, collided with a large cargo ship operating under the flag of Panama, known as the Blue Star 1, which had been traveling upstream from Piraeus in Greece to Galați....

Mahrez has long been linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium, following the club’s miraculous win of the Premier League title two seasons ago - a campaign that saw the Algerian score 17 league goals on his way to being named the PFA Player of the Year - and McClaren believes a move to a UEFA Champions’ League club is due, while suggesting that La Liga giants Barcelona could be a good fit for Mahrez....

In October, the RNC made two payments totaling $121,670 to the law firm of attorney Ronald Fischetti, who was hired by Trump in April amid investigations into the former president’s business dealings in New York. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who are both Democrats, have been investigating the Trump Organization and are probing some of the company’s property valuations. Trump retained Fischetti in light of the investigations....
