The Purpose of Puke Your body has evolved to protect you. One protective mechanism protects you from toxic things you might ingest. When you eat something toxic, several triggers give you nausea (the urge to vomit.) Taste and smell are two of the most powerful. If it smells or tastes nasty, your body may reject it as dangerous. Seeing, smelling, or hearing someone else vomit can make you vomit, too. Your body is programmed this way because if everyone in your group ate the same thing and it made someone sick, you could be next....

The immediate response from people was logical, saying it was pretty stupid to burn the jersey. Several people chimed in, including Celitcs player Jaylen Brown who tweeted, “This is pathetic.” James took the conversation one step further, and addressed more issues than just the jersey burning. He responded more as a whole to fans’ reactions when a player goes somewhere else, whether it be willingly through free agency or unwillingly via a trade....

Not that he’s going to try it. Besides, the formula de Mol has with “Big Brother” works just fine. It’s been a phenomenon in the Netherlands (where it was the most popular show of 1999), Germany (where it was almost banned for “violating the participants’ human dignity”) and Spain (where its ratings topped big-league soccer). It’ll be in 25 countries by next year. CBS is hoping “Big Brother” will be irresistible enough to lock in audiences for an unprecedented five shows a week for 18 weeks....

When the teams meet in Wednesday’s first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League semifinal, they may feel like they’re looking in a mirror: two teams with a strong defensive base but playing an exciting brand of soccer that results in plenty of goals. You can go deeper. Both teams are missing their best attacking player because of injury: Mauro Diaz of FC Dallas is recovering from an Achillies injury suffered toward the end of last year while Pachuca winger Hirving Lozano has an ankle problem keeping him out....

The data also found that people who are fully vaccinated and get infected can carry as much of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in their noses as those who are unvaccinated. As a result, they can spread the infection to others. The study, which was published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on July 30, detailed the July 2021 COVID-19 outbreak in Barnstable County, Massachusetts—specifically Provincetown. Several large public events in the area led to 469 COVID-19 cases in people who traveled to the area between July 3 and 17....

“Consistent and correct use of face masks is a public health strategy critical to reducing respiratory transmission of SARS-CoV-2 [the virus that causes COVID-19], particularly in light of estimates that approximately one-half of new infections are transmitted by persons who have no symptoms,” the CDC said in their latest report. Another recent CDC update also stated that masks help protect the wearer, as well as other people around them....

The new rules are expected to include recommendations for the activities fully vaccinated people can resume, including “unmasking outdoors,” a federal official told CNN. The language of the new “interim public health recommendations” is still being finalized and is also expected to include guidelines for health care settings, a federal official told CBS News. The CDC’s current guidelines for wearing masks outdoors states: “Masks may not be necessary when you are outside by yourself away from others, or with people who live in your household....

The report found that from March to May of 2020, rates for some pediatric vaccinations fell by over 60%. More children and teens received their shots between June and September, but overall vaccination rates were still well below 2018 and 2019 levels. This confirms CDC data from last year that raised the alarm over similar concerns. “As a pediatrician I’m very concerned about how many children have missed other important vaccines during the pandemic, including for diseases like measles and whooping cough which can be deadly,” Lisa Costello, MD, a pediatric hospitalist at West Virginia University Medicine Children’s Hospital, tells Verywell....

In a tweet, the CDC said five to 10 percent of COVID PCR tests are sent to labs for mapping “genomic sequencing.” Genomic sequencing is a process used to analyze the genetic makeup of viruses. However, the announcement made by the CDC has sparked human DNA privacy questions. “Its’ [PCR tests] being used by scientists all around the world to track the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants,” the CDC said in the video....

Twitter conversations on Tuesday centered on McConnell’s decision to block a vote that would quickly pass the decision to increase stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000. While this doesn’t mean the $2,000 checks won’t be voted on in the future, it means McConnell’s actions delayed the process of distributing another round of emergency relief. President Donald Trump was the first to halt the $600 stimulus checks by requesting that $2,000 be awarded to qualifying Americans instead....

A central reason for the region’s mass exodus stems from its struggle with gang violence....
