Meanwhile, early buzz for the new Star Wars film The Mandalorian and Grogu has been mixed ahead of release, and in health news, B.C. confirmed Canada’s first positive case of the Andes strain of hantavirus amid rising concerns about Ebola. In entertainment, Aqua announced their split, Shakira won her tax case in Spain, and Ice Cube says a new Friday movie is officially in the works.
