More than 80 nursing homes in Massachusetts have recorded at least 20 coronavirus deaths among residents — a grim tally advocates say sheds light not only on the pandemic’s devastating toll in long-term care facilities but on issues with staffing and infection control that existed long before COVID-19.

The 4,123 deaths at nursing and rest homes account for 62% of the 6,640 coronavirus fatalities in the state, and reports of staggering tolls have emerged from facility after facility for weeks as families struggle to get updates on their loved ones. But despite their pleas — and those from lawmakers and advocates — the state Department of Public Health did not publicly release the exact toll at each facility until Wednesday.

Gov. Charlie Baker said Thursday the state has “seen the positive test rate in the nursing homes go down and we’ve also seen a decline in the death rates,” calling the pandemic’s ravaging of nursing homes “terribly difficult.”

Yet dozens of people continue to die of the coronavirus in Massachusetts nursing homes each day, according to state data. Among those with the highest overall tolls: the Julian J. Leavitt Family Nursing Home in Longmeadow, where 66 people have died; Mary Immaculate Nursing and Restorative Center in Lawrence with 64; Courtyard Nursing Care Center in Medford with 60; Belmont Manor Nursing Home with 55; and Katzman Family Center for Living in Chelsea with 52.

The Holyoke Soldiers’ Home, where 76 veterans have died in an outbreak now under state and federal investigation, and the Chelsea Soldiers’ Home, where 31 residents have died, are reported separately.

A Delaware man was busted for allegedly tying up at least three ponies and sexually assaulting or injuring them at a horse-riding center, according to reports Friday.

Michael Riego, 31, was spotted sneaking into the stables at the New Castle County Carousel Park and Equestrian Center in Wilmington and tying up a small horse’s hind legs Thursday, police told CBS News.

The accused pony perv was also caught on camera having his way with at least two other equine victims, beginning last year, the officers said.

Footage from the first incident shows the alleged serial predator walking into the barn after midnight in September 2019 and tying up a 20-year-old mare above her hooves before molesting her, according to the report.


In another disturbing attack, reported April 20, Riego allegedly entered the stables carrying a bucket of horse feed, peeled off his clothes and sexually assaulted a 31-year-old brown mare, the station reported. Cops said they couldn’t see his face at the time because it was covered by a piece of clothing.

In a third case, the date of which was not reported, a 17-year-old black and white mare was found injured and had difficulty breathing.

Riego was charged with two counts of felony bestiality and two counts of felony burglary, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

All of the ponies were treated for injuries and have since resumed their riding routines.

The Deparment of Commerce has released additions to a U.S. military security threat list, including several Chinese universities.
One of these universities claims ties to nine major U.S. colleges.

Several Chinese universities were added Friday to a U.S. government security risk list. One of the colleges claims to have ties to nine U.S. universities. Now the website for one of those universities is gone.

The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security added twenty-four “governmental and commercial organizations to the Entity List for engaging in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States,” including several Chinese universities and institutes.

Harbin Engineering University was added as a sanctioned organization, but the university was not always known by this name. HEU began as a department of the People's Liberation Army Military Engineering Institute, which was founded in 1953 following instructions from Chairman Mao Zedong.

In 1994, the institute was renamed to Harbin Engineering University. Two years later, HEU was characterized as “one of the key universities being enhanced by the first batch of the 211 Project, which was established by the Chinese government to “facilitate the development of higher education in the context of the country's advancement in social and economic fields.”

tl;dr: killed herself because of online trolls
>TOKYO - Hana Kimura, a pro wrestler and star of the popular Netflix reality TV show "Terrace House," has died at 22, news that shocked her many fans and raised immediate questions about cyberbullying and the ethics of subjecting young people to the harsh glare of reality television.

>World Wonder Wing Stardom, a wrestling league Kimura was signed to, announced the news Saturday.

>"Please be respectful and allow some time for things to process, and keep your thoughts and prayers with her family and friends," it wrote on Twitter. "We appreciate your support during this difficult time."

>Kimura was a current cast member of "Terrace House Tokyo," a show where six young people are thrown together in a house, their lives, interactions and attempts to date one another constantly filmed, scrutinized and judged by a panel of studio commentators and an army of online fans.

>It makes for compelling television, but it is clear that some cast members occasionally struggle with those pressures.

>Kimura's last Instagram post showed a photo of herself with eyes downcast, with her cat.

>"I love you, have a long, happy life. I'm sorry," she wrote.

>Several now deleted Twitter messages also showed images of slashed wrists, referring to hate messages on social media and saying she didn't want to "be a human" anymore.

>"Nearly 100 frank opinions every day. I couldn't deny that I was hurt. I'm dead," she wrote. "Thank you to everyone who supported me. I love it. I'm weak, I'm sorry."

>Kimura, with her pink hair and bubby personality, had been a star of the latest season of the popular show. Fearsome in the wrestling ring, she was innocent and charming off it, once holding a cushion in front of her face while talking to a fellow cast member she had a crush on.
