Brain Strain Question: Friday, July 12

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced yesterday that health officials are investigating an E. coli outbreak that’s sickened at least 49 people in 10 states, including one older person in Colorado who has died. The agency announced that the outbreak has been linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders sold in those 10 states. McDonald’s said in a statement yesterday afternoon that “initial findings from the investigation indicate that a subset of illnesses may be linked to slivered onions,” which came from a single supplier. McDonald’s has pulled Quarter Pounders from the menu in the affected states.

Marvel actor Tom Holland has been teasing the development of Spider-Man 4 for weeks now, revealing last week that the latest draft of the script “lit a fire under him.” Even when offering that update however, Holland wouldn’t commit to any specific timeframe or release date for when the movie would get in front of cameras. That, coupled with news that he’s attached to Christopher Nolan’s new movie, has had fans wondering when Marvel’s Spider-Man 4 will finally get off the ground and start swinging. Now, thanks to Holland, we know. During an interview on “the Tonight Show,” Tom Holland confirms that there will be a Spider Man 4 coming out.

A man posing as a security guard was arrested at Taylor Swift's “Eras Tour” concert Friday night in Miami. Ivan Mariotti, was charged with falsely impersonating an officer and interfering with an entertainment event after police discovered him dressed in a suit wearing a badge over his neck near the field, without a ticket. Mariotti claimed he was hired by four women to escort them as a security guard, but police later confirmed he was actually their hired driver for the night, not a guard. He remains in custody with a $1,500 bond.
