Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: FDA Authorizes First Tests that Estimate a Patient's Antibodies from Past SARS-CoV-2 Infection - FDA.gov

tebagbagasi.blogspot.com
For Immediate Release:

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the first two COVID-19 serology tests that display an estimated quantity of antibodies present in the individual’s blood. Both tests from Siemens, the ADVIA Centaur COV2G and Attelica COV2G, are what are known as “semi-quantitative” tests, meaning that they do not display a precise measurement, but estimate the quantity of a patient’s antibodies produced against infection with the virus that causes COVID-19.

“Being able to measure a patient’s relative level of antibodies in response to a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection may be useful as we continue to learn more about the virus and what the existence of antibodies may mean,” said Tim Stenzel, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health in the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. “There are still many unknowns about what the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies may tell us about potential immunity, but today’s authorizations give us additional tools to evaluate those antibodies as we continue to research and study this virus. Patients should not interpret results as telling them they are immune, or have any level of immunity, from the virus.”

Due to these unknowns, the FDA cautions patients against using the results from these tests, or any serology test, as an indication that they can stop taking steps to protect themselves and others, such as stopping social distancing, discontinuing wearing masks or returning to work. The FDA also wants to remind patients that serology tests should not be used to diagnose an active infection, as they only detect antibodies the immune system develops in response to the virus – not the virus itself.

The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.

A Better Year for Trump’s Family Business (Last Year, That Is) - The New York Times

tebagbagasi.blogspot.com

Before the coronavirus ripped through the country, upending President Trump’s family business and the broader hospitality industry, the company last year showed modest gains, according to Mr. Trump’s annual financial disclosure report released late Friday.

The disclosure report, which offers the only official public detailing of the president’s personal finances, had been delayed for months after Mr. Trump received two extensions.

The delay came in part based on questions the Office of Government Ethics had raised about, among other issues, the value of pro bono legal work provided to the president by Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York mayor, according to people with knowledge of the delay.

As the United States economy was humming in 2019, the Trump Organization reported revenues of at least $446.3 million, up more than 2 percent from $434.9 million, in 2018. In 2017, he reported at least $452.6 million in revenues.

All told, the report shows that last year’s revenues, while an improvement over 2018, still reflect the toll Mr. Trump’s divisive presidency has taken on his brand.

The president reported assets worth at least $1.35 billion, down narrowly from 2018 and 2017.

In a statement, Eric Trump, the president’s son and a senior executive at the company, called it a “fantastic year for our country and one of the best years in the history of The Trump Organization.”

While providing no specific historic comparisons for the privately held company, he described the revenue as “strong” and noted that the company has “very low levels of debt.”

Over all, the company’s golf business performed well — a number of properties registered double-digit revenue gains — and Eric Trump emphasized that “our core businesses were up considerably year-over-year.”

The report also includes the unusual disclosure by the president that the Office of Government Ethics had pressed him to address the free legal services provided by Mr. Giuliani over the last two years. Some legal experts had argued Mr. Trump had potentially broken the rules by not disclosing the gift last year.

“Although we did not believe and do not believe that any pro bono publico counsel is reportable as a ‘gift,’ at the request of OGE, we note that as has been widely reported in the media, Rudy Giuliani provided such pro bono publico counsel in 2018 and 2019,” the report says, referring to pro bono legal services and the Office of Government Ethics.

Normally, if such a gift of free legal services has been provided, the federal government official is required to disclose the value of the gift. Mr. Trump declined to do so, with the disclosure report saying “Mr. Giuliani is not able to estimate the value” of the services, so “therefore, the value is unascertainable.”

The disclosure, required every year under federal ethics rules, was originally due on May 15. The White House blamed the delay on the coronavirus pandemic, but it also followed conversations between ethics officials and representatives for Mr. Trump about a draft of the filing, including the discussions over Mr. Giuliani’s free legal work, according to the people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly.

The 78-page disclosure was the sixth by Mr. Trump since he announced his candidacy for president in 2015.

Unlike the past six presidents, Mr. Trump has refused to release his tax returns, leaving additional gaps in the public record of his finances, and even went to court to block their release. The Supreme Court ruled in early July that congressional Democrats could not, at least for now, see some of the president’s financial documents, likely shielding the records from public view before the election.

For much of Mr. Trump’s presidency, his family business was stuck in neutral. The family name was stripped from several properties. The pipeline of potential new deals had dried up. And Mr. Trump’s polarizing politics had generated a red-blue divide among many properties, leaving his hotel in Chicago struggling, for instance, while his golf club in North Carolina thrived.

Results were mixed once again last year, according to the disclosure statement.

Revenues grew about 2 percent at both the North Carolina club, and at Trump National Doral Miami, the company’s biggest money generator. The resort, which includes a hotel and four golf courses, had been particularly stung by the divide over the president’s politics, as revenues sagged after his election. Another golf club, at Bedminster, N.J. — which Mr. Trump often visits during the summer — saw revenues rise by 12.6 percent, while his club in Jupiter, Fla., was up 11.9 percent.

But at Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla., where Mr. Trump often spends time during the winter months, revenues were $21.4 million, down 5.5 percent from 2018, continuing a downward trend from 2017.

At the Trump International Hotel in Washington, just blocks from the White House, revenues were $40.5 million, falling just shy of 1 percent from 2018.

At the company’s only remaining New York hotel, on Central Park West, revenue on the commercial space was between $1 million and $5 million, the same range as reported for 2018. Last year, the company agreed to downsize the “Trump” signs on the premises after some owners of the adjoining condominium tower complained that the branding was hurting their property values.

At best, the disclosure provides a general view of Mr. Trump’s business interests. Such statements offer inexact accounting, as dollar amounts are often reported in ranges, and they do not reflect profits or losses, making it difficult to assess the bottom line.

The report, for example, does not fully reflect the revenues from a pair of office towers in New York and California, where Mr. Trump is a partial owner. Both properties have been a substantial source of revenue in recent years, making up for weaknesses in other business lines.

The financial disclosure report was also a relic of the past long before it was released. Less than three months into the new year, the pandemic began wreaking havoc on millions of businesses across the nation. Mr. Trump’s company — with deep interests in hospitality and commercial real estate, two of the hardest-hit sectors — has been no exception, closing its clubs and resorts, laying off or furloughing workers, and clipping health care benefits for some.

Even as the company reopened the Doral resort, a move that was expected to breathe some new life into the business, new cases of the coronavirus were spiking in surrounding Miami-Dade County, demonstrating the power of the pandemic to disrupt any recovery.

Reflecting the turmoil, the Trump Organization sought to reduce or delay its payments on certain loans from Deutsche Bank, including about $125 million the company borrowed when it was buying Doral in 2012, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The bank agreed to a break, in line with those offered to other borrowers, but the Trump Organization concluded that the offer was not worth taking and turned it down, the people said.

Real estate analysts have predicted that the hotel sector will not fully recover until late 2023, and data shows that luxury hotels, including the seven Trump-branded hotels in the United States, have been the hardest hit by the continued industry depression.

The disclosure shows the Trump Organization’s debt remained unchanged from the previous year.

White House denies report that national coronavirus testing plan was scrapped to hurt blue states - CNBC

tebagbagasi.blogspot.com

Admiral Brett Giroir, U.S. Assistant Secretary For Health, speaks during a House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis hearing in Washington, D.C., July 31, 2020.

Erin Scott | Pool | Reuters

The White House on Friday denied a report claiming the Trump administration scrapped plans for a national coronavirus testing strategy to make Democratic governors in some of the hardest-hit states look bad as "entirely false." 

According to an article published Thursday in Vanity Fair, a team led by the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, created a national testing plan early in the nation's response to the pandemic that called for the federal government to coordinate the distribution of test kits to heavily impacted areas, among other recommendations. The publication said it had obtained a copy of the plan. 

"The article consistently misstates and misrepresents," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement. "The article is completely incorrect in its assertion that any testing was stopped for political or other reasons."

The report said Kushner's team worked separately from the Department of Health and Human Services team led by Adm. Brett Giroir, an assistant secretary for health at HHS, which was tasked in mid-March with coordinating the nation's testing efforts among the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, as well as state and local public health authorities and private or public clinical laboratories. 

However, Kushner's plan was reportedly scrapped by the Trump administration because the coronavirus was hitting Democrat-led states the hardest, and a national strategy "would not make sense politically," Vanity Fair reported, citing a public health expert who spoke with a member on Kushner's team familiar with the matter. 

"I have never heard something so preposterous as 'we're not going to do a national plan because it's affecting Democratic states,'" Giroir said in an interview on Fox News. Giroir is leading the U.S. testing effort. "I would like to put that to rest because it's really ridiculous and it foments mistrust in the public health system." 

Giroir said on Fox News that he saw Kushner's plan and "implemented parts" of it. 

"We were all working together, there was no separation or no closet Cabinet or no super-secret kind of plans. We all worked together," Giroir said. 

Earlier this year, as the coronavirus spread from Asia and Europe to the U.S., states with Democrat governors, such as Washington, New York and California, were among the first to report severe coronavirus outbreaks. New York eventually became the country's epicenter, reporting nearly 800 deaths every day at the height of its outbreak in April. 

At the time, the federal government struggled to advance the nation's testing capacity and delegated the task to the states. New York scrambled to buy coronavirus test kits, eventually ramping up its own equipment manufacturing and lab testing capacity in the state. 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been a frequent critic of the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, calling it the "virus of American division and federal incompetence."

Sources - MLB commissioner warns of shutdown if coronavirus isn't better managed - ESPN

tebagbagasi.blogspot.com
4:55 PM ET

      ESPN MLB insider
      Author of "The Arm: Inside the Billion-Dollar Mystery of the Most Valuable Commodity in Sports"

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred told MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark on Friday that if the sport doesn't do a better job of managing the coronavirus, it could shut down for the season, sources familiar with the conversation told ESPN.

The league and players recognize the coming days are a critical juncture following an outbreak among the Miami Marlins in which 21 members of the organization have tested positive for COVID-19. Two positive tests by St. Louis Cardinals players on Friday exacerbated concerns inside the sport about the presence of the coronavirus and whether the jointly agreed-upon protocols are being followed properly to prevent outbreaks similar to Miami's.

Should another outbreak materialize, Manfred, who has the power to shut down the season, could move in that direction. Multiple players briefed on the call fear the season could be shut down as soon as Monday if positive tests jump or if players continue not to strictly abide by the league's protocols.

State and local governments have pressured baseball about players skirting the mandates outlined in the league's 113-page operations manual, sources told ESPN. Broadcasts that have shown players high-fiving, spitting and not wearing masks have left government officials wondering how seriously players are taking the protocols, sources said.

Further, there is concern about off-the-field choices, with one high-ranking official saying: "There are some bad decisions being made."

The Cardinals' game against the Milwaukee Brewers was postponed Friday and rescheduled to a doubleheader Sunday. Already, the Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies, who last played Miami on Sunday, were missing scheduled games, leaving 20% of the league's Friday slate empty.

Major League Baseball and the MLBPA on Friday jointly announced the results of COVID-19 testing through Thursday. Of the 11,895 samples taken over the past week, there were 29 positive tests -- 20 by players and nine by staff members.

Postpone the Election? That Could Mean President Biden - POLITICO

tebagbagasi.blogspot.com

One thing is perfectly clear about President Donald Trump’s intensifying calls to postpone the November elections: He doesn’t have the constitutional authority to make it happen.

One thing is less clear, but just as important: Why would Trump even suggest putting off the vote? Unless he plans to occupy the White House illegally, a postponed election wouldn’t keep him in office. In fact, it could well usher in an unelected President Joe Biden.

That sounds strange, but it’s where the rules would take us if there were no election—if those rules were followed, which is a significant “if.” Here’s how it would work.

In the absence of an election by January, Trump’s time as president will end on January 20, 2021. Article II of the Constitution provides that a president is elected to serve a four-year term, and Trump’s four years will be up on that date. Without a new electoral mandate, he’s out.

Who, then, steps into the Oval Office if no election has been held? Not Vice President Mike Pence; his term also expires on January 20. So the presidency and vice-presidency would both be vacant.

Now things get weird. By statute, the person next in line for the presidency is the speaker of the House. But in a world with no election, the speakership would be just as vacant as the vice presidency. Just as Trump’s term will end on January 20, the current term of every member of the House of Representatives will end on January 3. The House of Representatives would have no members and couldn’t elect a speaker.

Who’s next? The answer, by statute, is the president pro tempore of the Senate. That office would not be vacant. Only 35 Senate seats are up for election in November; the other 65 Senators are now serving terms that extend beyond 2021. So even without an election, there would still be a Senate, though it would have only 65 members.

The next critical question, of course, is who that president pro tempore would be. By Senate practice stretching back to the 19th century, the most senior member of the majority party is selected as president pro tem. Today, it’s Iowa’s Chuck Grassley. If there is no election this fall, however, Grassley would no longer be in the majority party. Of the 65 Senators whose terms continue past 2021, and who would therefore compose the Senate after January 3 in the absence of a new election, 35 are Democrats.

So, by default, the Democrats would control the Senate. To be clear, exactly 18 Democrats could control the Senate, since they’d make up a voting majority of the caucus.

By the usual rules—most senior member of the majority party—the president pro tem, and thus the president of the United States, would be Vermont’s Pat Leahy.

But the pro tem process isn’t a law. It’s just a tradition. And in a world this bizarre, where there’s no election, no president and no House, there’s no reason to assume the Senate Democrats would follow tradition. Legally, they can pick whomever they like. And if what they are really picking is the president of the United States, rather than a ceremonial officer, they might want to exercise some actual choice. They could elect President Amy Klobuchar or President Elizabeth Warren.

But would they? Neither the Constitution nor any statute restricts the choice of president pro tem to a current member of the Senate. (Similarly, the House of Representatives can decide to elect a speaker who is not a member of the House.) So the Senate Democrats could choose anyone at all with the constitutional qualifications to be president—that is, any natural-born U.S. citizen over the age of 35 other than Barack Obama, George W. Bush or Bill Clinton. If they were in a mood to right historic wrongs, they could choose Hillary Clinton. Or for that matter, Al Gore.

The most logical choice, though, would be Joe Biden. He is, after all, the person whom the Democratic Party will have named as its choice for president. He will have campaigned for the office, and he’ll have a transition team ready to go. He also happens to have good relationships with many of the 35 people making the choice.

So in the end, if no election is held this fall, and the process unfolds legally, the logical result isn’t that Trump stays in office. It’s that on January 3, Joe Biden becomes president pro tem of the Senate, and 17 days later, in the absence of a better claimant, Chief Justice John Roberts swears him in as president of the United States.

To be clear: None of this is going to happen. The House of Representatives under Nancy Pelosi is not going to approve a bill to postpone the election, and the Republican-controlled Senate wouldn’t want to do it either. Maybe Trump hasn’t fully thought through who would legally be entitled to the presidency next January if no election intervenes, but it’s a good bet that Senator Mitch McConnell has, or at least that he would, long before any bill to postpone the election came to a vote.

All this means, though, is that there will be no legally valid decision to postpone this November’s election. So why is Trump calling for a postponement? One possibility—and it cannot be ignored—is that he is laying the ground for a unilateral announcement of a postponed election. It wouldn’t be legally valid, but his experience as president so far has been that Congress rarely stops him from doing what he wants. And if Trump can bully the country into postponing the election, he may figure that when push comes to shove he will fill the void himself, by demagoguery or force.

Perhaps the most realistic explanation, though, is that Trump expects the election to occur on schedule and he is laying groundwork for impugning the integrity of its result. He knows Congress won’t postpone the election, and even he might think it’s too risky to try doing it unilaterally. But by constantly proclaiming that an election held on schedule cannot be trustworthy, he primes millions of people to be ready to refuse to accept the result of that election, if it goes against him.

That’s incredibly dangerous. It’s also a natural outgrowth of everything Trump has done so far, stretching back to his refusal as a candidate in 2016 to say that he would respect the outcome if he lost. So it is crucially important—as important as anything in American politics has ever been—that as many people as possible, in office and on the street, be prepared to stand up to him. And that they act between now and November in ways calculated to prevent us from getting to the point where law no longer matters.

Florida teen arrested in Twitter hack that hit Biden and Obama - CNN

tebagbagasi.blogspot.com
The individuals included Mason Sheppard, a 19-year-old from the United Kingdom, Nima Fazeli, a 22-year-old from Orlando, Florida as well as an unidentified minor, according to a statement from United States Attorney David Anderson.
CNN is attempting to identify the lawyers representing the individuals.
"There is a false belief within the criminal hacker community that attacks like the Twitter hack can be perpetrated anonymously and without consequence," Anderson said in a statement. "Today's charging announcement demonstrates that the elation of nefarious hacking into a secure environment for fun or profit will be short-lived.
The FBI said two people charged in the attack had been taken into custody.
"Today's arrests represent just the first step for law enforcement," said FBI San Francisco Assistant Special Agent in Charge Sanjay Virmani. "Our investigation will continue to identify anyone else who may have been involved in these crimes."
The minor, 17-year-old Graham Ivan Clark, was arrested on Friday morning in Tampa after an investigation conducted by federal and state investigators, Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren said in a statement Friday.
Warren said his office was handling the prosecution because Florida law allows greater flexibility than federal law to charge a minor as an adult in a case like this.
"The FBI and Department of Justice will continue to partner with the office throughout the prosecution," he said.
In a statement on Friday, Twitter said it appreciated "the swift actions of law enforcement in this investigation and will continue to cooperate as the case progresses."

Specialty Luggage going out of business after 76 years - TribLIVE

14 minutes ago

The year was 1944 and victory in World War II was in sight for the Allies.

With the war a year away from winding down, life in the U.S. was changing. The economy was on the upswing and city dwelling Americans would soon be on the move. And as they traveled, increasingly by air, but also on land and sea, they would need luggage.

So, it could be said that when Morris Izenson and his two brother started their business, Specialty Luggage, the timing was impeccable.

But now, after 76 years, Specialty Luggage, Pittsburgh’s last multi-brand luggage and travel store, is going out of business.

On Thursday the last of its stores, located in the Waterworks Mall, began a going-out-of-business sale. Owner Jeff Izenson, Morris’s grandson, said by the middle of September, it will close its doors for good. He cited the coronavirus, which has brought travel to almost a complete stop, as the chief culprit.

“I would have kept this store open but we’re just a victim of covid-19,” said Izenson. “There’s no traffic. We’re all operating at about 15% or, if you’re lucky, you’re getting about 20% of your old volume.”

Izenson also lamented he could no longer compete with luggage brands selling directly to customers online.

At its peak, Specialty Luggage operated four stores in the Pittsburgh area. Last summer it closed its Downtown store on Liberty Avenue leaving the Waterworks Mall as the last location.

“We operated for 32 years at Waterworks. We had a good run,” said Izenson.

When Morris Izenson opened Specialty Luggage at the corner of Smithfield and Liberty Avenue in 1944, the store’s specialty was manufacturing industrial cases for mine safety. The cases were made of wood and contained an oxygen tank and a full mask inside. They were mainly sold to firefighters.

In the 1970s, Irwin Izenson, Jeff’s dad, decided to focus on retail and sold popular luggage brands such as Tumi, Samsonite and American Tourister, among others. He also brief cases, leather goods and pens.

“We were pretty well known for unique gifts back in the day,” said Jeff Izenson.

But now, as they say, everything must go. Izenson said he will miss running the store but he feels even worse for his five employees.

“We knew this was coming a long time ago and it has now come to pass. So, I feel bad for my employees who stuck around for a long time – 35 years, 22 years, 15 years – because they loved it. They loved the customers, they loved the product, and they liked helping people travel because if you’re going to travel it’s kind of a fun thing.

“On the other hand, it’s a sense of relief because there was no way we were going to survive.”

The Lynn Shelton That Marc Maron Knew - The New York Times

tebagbagasi.blogspot.com

When the writer-director Lynn Shelton died in May, it was a devastating loss to film, to moviegoers who knew her for intimate low-budget features like “Humpday” and “Your Sister’s Sister,” and to TV audiences starting to discover her work as a director on series like “GLOW” and “The Morning Show.” On Tuesday, she received a posthumous Emmy directing nomination for the Hulu limited series “Little Fires Everywhere.”

Shelton, 54, left behind family, friends and frequent collaborators who included Marc Maron, the comic, actor and host of the long-running “WTF” podcast. Shelton had directed Maron in her 2019 film, “Sword of Trust,” his stand-up specials “Too Real” (2017) and “End Times Fun” (2020), and his IFC series, “Maron,” among other shows. They had also been romantically involved for about a year, after a lengthy and sometimes awkward courtship that began when Shelton appeared as a guest on “WTF” in 2015.

Maron, 56, has not had much opportunity to mourn Shelton privately. As a comedian and podcaster, he is known for his blunt and relentlessly confessional approach, and he has embraced the notion of candor even in his suffering. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Maron said, it was important to be open about his sorrow for listeners who may be going through their own difficulties as well as for himself. Reflecting on his grief, he said, has not diminished it but has helped him understand it as unavoidable and universal.

“It’s a terrible experience but it is a fundamental human experience,” he said. “It’s as common as love. It’s devastating, but we are built to carry it, for ourselves and for others.”

In a phone interview from Los Angeles, during which Maron also stopped to get a drive-through test for Covid-19 (“I’m not sick,” he explained, “I’m just crazy”), he talked about his memories of Shelton, his appreciation for her work and how he has tried to process her death, publicly and in real time. These are edited excerpts from that conversation.

You first met Lynn Shelton when she came on your podcast. How did that come about?

I had seen in one of the trades that she was working on some project with my ex-wife [the writer Mishna Wolff]. I had never really heard of her, but I watched a couple of her movies and she seemed like the real deal. I had her on the podcast and she was very charming and eloquent about her own process and who she was. I got her and she clearly got me. That was the beginning of something that became rather intense.

Listening to that interview now, does it sound like you were already starting to connect with each other?

That was definitely there and we both knew it. But we weren’t in a situation to really do anything about it. [Shelton was married and Maron was in another relationship at the time.] It was difficult. From that connection, we started our creative relationship, because I wanted to see her again and get to know her. I knew she was a great director and why wouldn’t she want to direct my television show?

How did you find it working with her on “Maron”?

She was always very disarming to me. I’m a stubborn, difficult man. And I was difficult with her, too. She had a vision and she was also stubborn. But she wasn’t difficult. I would go through my own thing — “I don’t want to do it that way. Why can’t I do it this way?” It was my show. But she would eventually do it the way she wanted and convince you to do it that way too. And it was usually the right way.

She knew how to get the performance she wanted from you?

It’s not that she was unassuming. You definitely knew she was in charge. But she embraced the collaborative process. She would watch what you did in a take and focus on finding the naturalism that’s possible. Get you away from locking into a line reading, enable you to open up your emotional space and get present in what needs to be done in the scene. She just had a way of doing it that didn’t feel oppressive or wasn’t something I wanted to fight against, come the third time. [Laughs]

You started writing together and she directed you in episodes of “GLOW.” Did she also appreciate you as a stand-up?

She was my best audience. [Chokes up] There was some sort of connection that we had — I lost all my self-consciousness, which is no easy trick. And I don’t even know why. We had similar interests around food, around music, around humor, around film. Intellectually and emotionally — spiritually, I don’t know. She meditated twice a day. I never did that. But she loved to laugh and she was kind of an easy laugh, but that’s OK. I’ll take it. She would go to the Comedy Store with me and, over the years, became acutely sensitive to my process. It got to the point where she would suggest things and I would take the note, even with my stand-up, which is saying a lot.

So it made sense to have her direct your stand-up specials, starting with “Too Real”?

I told Netflix I wanted her to direct it. They were concerned that she had never directed a comedy special. I’m like: “She’s done seven movies! You think this is rocket science?” She’d already made “Outside In,” and that’s a little masterpiece. But she was pretty humble. She got what she wanted as an artist from realizing her vision. Her focus was on the work. But half of this game, for most of us, is getting it out there and that’s the hardest part.

How was Netflix finally persuaded to let her do it?

I told my manager I won’t do the special if she can’t direct it. And they came back with, they’re also going to put another director who’s directed specials with her, to guide her through the process. And I said to my manager, that’s not a great look. Especially if they pull out some dude. You’re going to have some guy teach her? That’s ridiculous. Just let her direct it herself. And that’s all.

Was it a different dynamic on “Sword of Trust,” which, though you starred in it, was ultimately her film?

By that time, we were wrestling with feelings that were deeper than creative and friendship. She was separated [from her husband, the host and actor Kevin Seal] and the tension had become more intense. We’d been working on a script together for years and we just weren’t getting it done. She’s like, “I’m going to write you a movie.” I’m like, “Yeah, OK, sure.” And she did. She and Mike O’Brien came up with an idea — she decided, because she drove past a pawnshop, that I would be a pawnshop owner — and she willed it into existence.

What was the day-to-day experience like on the film?

I was cranky and difficult. It was hot down there [in Birmingham, Ala.]. I felt fat. It was very daunting for me, because I was on set with a lot of monster improvisers. And after a day or two, I said to Lynn, if you don’t reel them in, I’m going to be this dumb straight man to a bunch of over-the-top characters. I’m going to be filled with resentment and I’m not going to be able to ease into this. And Lynn made an interesting choice to act in that movie [as the troubled ex-girlfriend of Maron’s character]. That scene when she comes to pawn that ring [chokes up], the emotions were real. It’s really Lynn holding me open, which is something she did in real life, too. Once it got to a point where she had resolved some stuff in her relationship and we were able to acknowledge a real love for each other, I actually said to her — there was drama here — I said, “Look, if we don’t try this, whatever’s going on here, I’m going to regret it for the rest of my life.” And so, we did.

Were you hesitant to acknowledge your relationship on the podcast?

It took a long time and I’ve learned a lot of lessons around that. My audience has been through several relationships with me. When you talk about somebody, they don’t have a voice in it. So choose what you’re doing there. Once Lynn and I were able to start seeing each other, we kept a low profile for like three to six months and then she started to ease into the conversation. I think she was getting upset with it. She was like: “When can we be who we are? Enough already.” And I’m like, “Yeah, you’re right.” This quarantine was not the greatest of situations but it accelerated things. It enabled us to double up our time together. She had moved all her stuff down here and we were together all the time. We were cooking and talking and eventually we started working on the script again.

In the time you were together with her, did you see any warnings that her health was at risk?

She was not a big doctor person. She was used to a fairly elaborate daily regimen of supplements and talking to her naturopath. She had swollen glands in her throat on a Friday. She went and got the Covid test immediately. It was negative. We got an online appointment with a physician. She started antibiotics on Saturday. Come Monday, she had a 104-point-something fever. On Wednesday she said her throat didn’t hurt anymore but the fever was relentless. On Thursday, I’m like, we’ve got to go to the doctor. She was going to go in that Friday morning to get a blood panel and that’s when I woke up to her collapsed. I called the ambulance and she was dead within 18 hours. Acute myeloid leukemia is what’s on the death certificate. Organ failure is the primary cause and then acute myeloid leukemia is what they signed off on.

I went [to the hospital] that night and spent a few minutes with her body. It was the heaviest thing I’ve ever done. It was just devastating. I was blown out, totally traumatized. Totally heartbroken.

You never took a break from your podcast. Did you consider taking any time off from the show?

I didn’t think I owed it to anybody but myself. This is the type of thing I do. My producer was like: “Dude, we don’t have to do anything. You just tell me what you want to do.” And I said, I have no control over these feelings. They’re monstrous. But they’re real. So we posted the posthumous episode [of Shelton’s 2015 interview]. I got on the mic and stayed in what I was feeling to [introduce] that episode. And I thought, this is going to be good for me. The people that have been in my audience for a decade can handle it. Ultimately, I felt like it was the right thing.

Do you find it at all difficult to ask for people’s sympathies or for acknowledgment of your grief during a global pandemic?

That’s one of the reasons I thought it was good to do it. There’s nothing but grief around. It’s a tough emotion for people to sit in and accept. The one thing the pandemic has given me is time to process and sit with the feelings. I cry every day. The shock and the trauma have dissipated a little bit, so now I deal with the loss. I have her jacket that she always wore, and her hat and boots. I have the shirt that I met her in. I touch these things when I can and try to keep her with me. But to answer your question, it’s been challenging to be in this much sadness in a fairly hopeless world. In terms of really experiencing the feelings that one has with grief and loss, I’ve had the presence to be in those. Because I have nothing else to do, man.

Having been able to mourn her with other friends, family members and colleagues, has that affected your understanding of her?

I didn’t know her as well as many people knew her, which is something I found out at memorial events. My history with her was pretty short and sweet in a way. Romantically it was just a year and change. There are people who have known her for 25 years. Hearing everybody’s experiences with her, working on all these films, I’m like, what stories do I have? But I realized we had a unique frequency to our connection. We saw ourselves through each other’s eyes. I was really the best version of me, the way she saw me.

Will you do anything with the screenplay that the two of you were working on?

It’s a complicated story. We wrote the draft over a period of years and there’s a lot of funny stuff in it. We just needed to tighten up this final scene, and it revolves around how this main character dies of cancer. [Pauses] Yeah. So. That was the unfinished business. I’ve gotten some people who are asking me, like, why don’t you finish that script and make it happen? Maybe find another woman to direct it. I don’t know that it would honor her. Because this was always the thing that she was going to direct me in. That was the whole idea of it. It would be upsetting.

You said in a recent podcast that your grief for Lynn was “expanding your sense of what love can be.” What did you mean by that?

I knew that we were just beginning something and I was very excited to have felt that. I was still difficult — it wasn’t hostile, it was just kind of childish. But she seemed to understand that. That opened up my heart aperture a little bit, to experience things differently. Once I’d gotten to that place, I could take that openness in the world. I didn’t have to be afraid of it anymore. The challenge now is to not get bitter or sad or angry. How do I not do that? How do you stay loving in something as relentless as what’s going on now? I don’t know. I sit on my porch and it’s nice out here. It was a lot to lose. But I just try to stay in her light as much as I can.

You sounded a little more exuberant at the start of Monday’s show. Is that an accurate reflection of how you were feeling at the time?

Yesterday, when I recorded that, was a fairly awful day. There’s a whole arc of feelings that happen to me every day, and every day in quarantine’s like a week. I’ve got to wake up and battle the darkness. I’m going to get up, I’ll make my bed. I’m going to look at a picture of Lynn. I’m going to maybe pray to nothing, because it feels like a meditation of some kind. A little trick I learned in sobriety. And then I’m going to wonder if it’s worth being alive for a while and wonder if there’s a way to hang myself from the exercise belt that you hook to the door of the closet. [Laughs] And then that goes away, and I cook some breakfast and I go hike up the mountain or listen to some music. Feelings aren’t facts. You should have them but don’t act on anything too rashly. Move through them. So I guess by the time I got to the garage [where he records the podcast], I was having a good 10 minutes and I was able to capture that. [Laughs]
