About
three hundred teens were exposed to the Coronavirus during a recent
“pong fest” in Texas, during which several of them were awaiting
test results, with some having since been found to be infected. The
Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the high school students
attended the party near Lakeway in Travis County on June 20th while a
number of them had not yet received their COVID-19 test results.
Several later found out they tested positive. Lakeway Mayor Sandy Cox
predicted the mass gathering will lead to more cases in a state hit
with record-breaking hospitalizations. “Unfortunately, our caseload
is probably going to increase, and it’s because there was a very
large party this past Saturday,” Cox said in a Facebook video.
Everyone who attended the event has been instructed to
self-quarantine for fourteen days. Additionally, anyone who has come
into contact with those who went to the party must isolate themselves
for two weeks. (https://bit.ly/2NVSiWZ)

Want to live longer? Walk faster. Researchers in the UK collected data from nearly 475,000 people, measuring factors like their walking habits, body mass index, waist circumference and body fat percentage. People who reported a brisk walking pace lived longer across all body types; those who reported slower walking paces had a shorter life expectancy.
The number of farmers now using drones at least weekly has surpassed 90 percent.
Illinois is one of the few states that’s coming out of COVID-19 pretty well. The state locked down in late March and its governor told residents to wear masks early on. Despite Illinois’ better-than-average situation, some residents aren’t happy and are planning — ready for this? — a Millions Unmasked March on July 25.
A Nebraska farmer draining a pond on his property for maintenance made a surprising and unusual discovery. Wynn Hall (of Exeter, Nebraska) said he started the process of draining the pond, which is used for pumping waters off his fields, and checked on it the following morning. Hall said he initially thought an object stuck in the mud was a household appliance. It turned out to be an ATM.

has a lower acceptance rate than Harvard. Harvard might be hard to
get into with a 4.5 percent admittance rate, but try this on for
size: only 2.6 percent of Walmart applicants are accepted. How 'bout
them apples? Now, we realize that this comparison isn't exactly
flawless, but you have to admit that it's a fun fact.

A man was captured on video being removed from a Florida-bound flight at LaGuardia Airport Friday for not wearing a face mask. The tense standoff unfolded when a man, whose name was not known, “took his face covering off and refused to put it back on,” a spokesman for Spirit Airlines said. A video from inside the plane shows part of an exchange between a Port Authority cop and the man, in which the officer asks the passenger to get off the plane and the man argues with him. “I don’t want to force you, I’m asking you,” the cop can be heard saying while asking the man to get off the fight. A spokesman for the airline said the man eventually agreed to “deplane on his own instead of risking legal consequences.” (https://bit.ly/2VGMrcj)
