The Lost Husband is a perfectly bland but perfectly watchable movie that you’ll want to return to time and time again.
“The Lost Husband was actually released in April on VOD, before landing on the streaming service in August, and it probably can be most accurately described as perfectly pleasant.

It shows how star Liu Yifei brought her acting and martial arts talents to the project, and how Donnie Yen was so quick with a sword he needed to be shot in slow-mo.”

A new study is looking into how humidity, temperature, and dust affect the spread of the coronavirus.
“In early July, the world health organization acknowledged that the coronavirus might be airborne, or more specifically, spread by aerosols as opposed to just larger droplets. That move was the product of ongoing studies of droplet behavior and reports of people who gathered indoors and ended up sick. That work has proven invaluable in our understanding of the coronavirus.
