Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Nov 16, 2020

Ever heard of a woman giving birth to her own granddaughter? Happened in Illinois earlier this month, when 51-year-old JULIE LOVING agreed to be the “gestational mother” for her daughter, who could not carry a pregnancy herself. BREANNA LOCKWOOD, her daughter, was suffering from infertility and it was her mom who suggested that she might do the job, telling "Good Morning America" “I’ve run 19 marathons and done many triathlons. I felt like health-wise I could do it and I had really easy pregnancies with my two kids.” And so, on November 2nd, she gave birth to BRIAR JULIETTE LOCKWOOD, her own granddaughter, a healthy baby girl.

Morons on parade: How dumb do you have to be to wear the same outfit you got arrested in to your court date? A guy who was stealing packages from people's porches --a "porch pirate"-- was arrested in his green and red North Face shirt and showed up wearing the exact same shirt the very next day to a South Carolina courtroom. See the guy in a post from the Goose Creek Resident Group on Facebook.

ICYMI #2: Guys --if getting COVID-19 doesn't kill you, for men it means saying goodbye to your sperm cells. That's right --reports from doctors say the Coronavirus attack leads to a build-up of angiotensin II, which is a hormone that regulates kidney function and blood pressure. And as the levels of the hormone increase, that leads to cell death in sperm cells. One study says point-blank that men had a reduction of around 50% around a month after their diagnosis.
