• Coronavirus stimulus paper checks might be delayed because of a last-minute design change. President Trump’s name will appear on them.
• Treasury officials dispute delay reports, claiming the checks will be mailed on time.
• This marks the first time a president’s name is printed on IRS checks, with many people criticizing the move.

Your coronavirus stimulus money can arrive in two ways, depending on whether the IRS has your banking information on file. You’ll either get a bank transfer or an actual paper check in the coming days and weeks — this IRS tool for non-filers might speed up the process. But some people might experience delays regardless of method. Reports a few days ago revealed that a 60-year-old programming language that few people might know how to use could be responsible for some delays. But some of the printed checks might be delayed as well for an incredible reason. A name has to be printed on the stimulus checks before they’re sent out. Trump’s.

• Clorox wipes are great for killer germs including coronaviruses on your smartphone, but they’re still impossible to find in stock anywhere.
• Since smartphones are notorious breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria and viruses, the lack of Clorox and Lysol wipes has led to a boom in popularity for UV-C smartphone sanitizers.
• These little devices are essential, and there are finally several good models that are back in stock and ready to ship from Amazon.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Have you been wondering when smartphone sanitizers might finally be back in stock on Amazon? You’re definitely not alone. Everyone knows that smartphones are breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria and yes, viruses as well. In the age of coronavirus, you really can’t be too safe. Clorox wipes and Lysol wipes are still nowhere to be found, but Amazon finally has three different UV-C phone sanitizers back in stock that you can get soon if you hurry.

The first model available right now is the NeotrixQI UV Smartphone Sanitizer Case, which is available for $29.98. It has a nice large inner compartment to fit even the biggest smartphones out there, and it’s one of the most affordable options on Amazon.

• No liquid, heat, or chemicals are used in NeotrixQI cell phone cleaners, so it’s safe to sanitize anything that will fit inside! While killing 99.99% of all bacteria and germs, UV-C light can get to the microorganisms that hide in crevices where even cleaning wipes can’t reach.
• Easy to use- Press the clean switch to start sterilizing and the indicator light stays green; the machine will stop automatically after 5 minutes when clean is finishing.

Another good option is the Lai Fion UV Cell Phone Sanitizer, which is a bit more expensive at $40. It works just as well as the NeotrixQI model, but the design is a bit different. This is a newer model that hasn’t been available quite as long as the others.

• The sterilizer uses bacteria-zapping UV disinfectant light targets in on those difficult to reach areas, eliminating germs and up to 99.9% of bacteria. Press the clean switch to start sterilizing with indicator lights keeps green; the machine will stop automatically after 6 minutes while clean is finishing.

UV Cell Phone Sanitizer, Portable UV Light Smart Phone Sterilizer, Aromatherapy Function Disinf…: $49.99

Finally, we have the HoMedics UV-Clean Phone Sanitizer that has been so popular with our readers. It’s a bit pricey at $79.99, but it has a great collapsable design that makes it easy to stow anywhere. Despite the zipper closure, it still has a magnetic safety — the zipper pull is hiding a magnet that can only attach to the safety when it’s zipped closed.

• Keep your phone clean by utilizing patented pop-up technology and UV-C LED sanitizing. After use, it conveniently collapses flat to transport between your purse, backpack, suitcase, gym bag, and more to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses.

• OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro preorders come with a limited Launch Day Bundle that offers buyers free accessories worth $120.
• The OnePlus 8 Pro gets the better deal, as the bundle includes the brand new 30W Wireless Charger and Bullets Wireless Z earphones.
• The OnePlus 8 is paired with free earphones only, as the more affordable handset doesn’t support wireless charging.

OnePlus on Tuesday unveiled the two phones we were expecting to see during the company’s online-only press event. The OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro are the best handsets the company made to date. They both come with 5G support and the Pro rocks features unseen before on OnePlus devices, including fast wireless charging, and water and dust resistance. The best thing about the OnePlus 8 series is the price. The OnePlus 8 starts at $699, which is $300 cheaper than the most affordable Galaxy S20. The OnePlus 8 Pro is more expensive, starting at $899, but it’s still a better bargain than the Galaxy S20 phones.

• The toll from the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen in the US, which is now home to more cases than any other country in the world — more than 600,000, according to the latest numbers from Johns Hopkins University.
• To do deeper into the data, use this tool from Researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics to get the latest look at when the coronavirus is now expected to peak in your area (and every state around the country).
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

This week is already proving to be one of the weirdest ones yet in the slow-rolling, deadly saga of the coronavirus pandemic that’s kneecapped daily life in the US like few catastrophes that have come before. Deaths and hospitalizations are still continuing their slow, steady rise in some states. Governors of some states are trying to formalize a process around deciding how to reopen their economies, while the CDC and FEMA have drafted a reopening blueprint of their own for the whole country. Meantime, President Trump on Monday claimed the decision was his, and that he has “total” authority as president. And down in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s drawn fire for moving too slowly in responding to the crisis in his state, has also raised eyebrows for trying to describe the WWE as an essential business.

In the real world, though? Most states still haven’t even hit their peak of hospitalizations and deaths from the coronavirus yet. We know that, because the latest modeling gives a pretty good indication of how soon you can expect the worst of the crisis to hit in your area.

• The San Francisco 49ers loss to the Kansas City Chiefs during this year’s Super Bowl game back in February had an unintended consequence that’s actually connected to the COVID-19 coronavirus.
• San Francisco was just starting to see its first coronavirus cases back then, and it’s now believed that a massive championship parade in the city following a 49ers win would have served as a veritable breeding ground for the virus and turned into a super-spreader event.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Nobody in the stadium realized it at the time, but while the San Francisco 49ers were in the process of losing the Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs in Miami back in February, doctors were in the process of setting up a COVID-19 operations center at the University of California-San Francisco. That’s according to a new report which notes that the first confirmed coronavirus cases had started to show up in the Bay Area while the rest of the country was focused on the big game. So what does that have to do with the Super Bowl?

If the 49ers had won the game, there would have been a championship parade in San Francisco. That parade would have drawn tens of thousands of people, and would have taken place just as the coronavirus outbreak was poised to explode around the US. Turns out, that defeat probably saved countless lives.

• Harvard researchers say we could be dealing with social distancing for years depending on how the coronavirus pandemic unfolds.
• We may be forced to adopt new social distancing mandates from time to time if the virus spread accelerates after this initial outbreak.
• These measures may be required up until the point where a vaccine or cure for the virus is widely available.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

It’s now been a few months since the novel coronavirus began making life a whole lot more complicated for people all over the world. We’ve been dealing with lockdowns, social distancing, and quarantine efforts ever since, with the hope that this would all be over sooner rather than later. The truth is far more complicated, and since there’s still so much we don’t know about this virus, predicting its future is incredibly difficult.

Now, Harvard researchers are suggesting that we may be dealing with this new way of life for far longer than anyone had anticipated. In fact, based on their report in the journal Science, it sounds like we may be dealing with the effects of the virus for years, depending on a few factors.

In the age of streaming and cord-cutting, live TV doesn’t exist in the same rarified air it once did. I remember jumping out of bed on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons when I was younger, but in 2020, the only time I tune in for a live broadcast is when my team is playing. But sports are currently at a standstill as the novel coronavirus has upended our entire global society, and I find myself watching the news more often than I have in years.

If you’re one of the many people who have cut the cord in recent years, you might be pining for the familiar comfort of live TV. If so, you’re going to want to check out Sling’s new initiative: Happy Hour Across America. For the foreseeable future, Sling is giving new customers free access to its Blue plan — dozens of live channels, tens of thousands of on-demand movies and shows, and free cloud DVR — from 5PM to midnight every night.

• A 44-year-old ER doctor in Seattle developed a life-threatening case of COVID-19 and was saved with the help of an experimental drug.
• The anti-inflammatory drug Actemra is believed to have reduced the “cytokine storm” and improved the condition of the coronavirus patient, who was discharged after nearly a month in the hospital.

The infectious nature of the novel coronavirus is going to keep us in self-isolation for at least a few more weeks. Most people will only experience mild-to-moderate symptoms if they catch COVID-19, and some won’t have any symptoms at all. But older patients, people with underlying health problems, and others that defy age- and health-related statistics will experience a more severe, potentially life-threatening case.

Because there’s no treatment, there’s no guarantee you will survive the illness once respiratory complications appear, and access to a ventilator and oxygen therapy isn’t always enough to beat the disease. Doctors all over the world have been trying all sorts of cures using medicine devised to treat other medical conditions. The one you’ve probably heard of is hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine, but plenty of other lesser-known drugs are being tested as well.

• These coronavirus maps can easily be embedded, thus making it easier for local journalists to provide readers with up to date visualizations of coronavirus outbreaks in their area.

With coronavirus statistics being updated on an hour by hour basis, it can sometimes be challenging to accurately interpret some data points. As an obvious example, the implications stemming from an outbreak of 15 coronavirus cases in a densely populated city like New York City isn’t the same as a similar outbreak occurring in a small suburban town.

One strategy researchers have come up with to better inform the public about coronavirus outbreaks is an immersive mapping tool that helps visualize the severity of the coronavirus pandemic across U.S. states and cities.
