What to watch on Netflix and TV in June: Top 10 shows people can’t wait to see

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Wondering what to watch on Netflix, other streaming services, and TV in June 2020? Well stop wondering because we’re going to show you all the hottest new and returning series set to premiere next month.
  • There are plenty of eagerly awaited new shows that will debut over the course of the month in June, including HBO’s remake of Perry Mason.
  • When it comes to fan favorites that are set to return with new seasons next month, Netflix is home to every single show that managed to make the list.

There’s something very interesting to note about the latest roundup of the most hotly anticipated new and returning shows coming in June 2020. While it’s perfectly normal to see streaming services and premium cable channels dominate the list each month, this is the first time we can recall where not a single one of the five most hotly anticipated new shows and the five most eagerly awaited returning series set to premiere in a month will be on network television or a standard cable channel. The top three streaming services are all accounted for — that’s Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video — and you’ll find not one but two shows set to debut in June on HBO. There isn’t a single new or returning show airing next month on network TV though, and standard cable networks are nowhere to be found either.

What’s so special about the shows coming to big streaming services and HBO next month that they outshine anything and everything coming to network TV and basic cable? Let’s take a look.

$48 UV sanitizer wand kills coronavirus on any surface

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • A UV sanitizer wand is a fantastic way to disinfect surfaces all around your home and office, but most options out there are price gouged right now because of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
  • Thankfully, we came across a great top-rated option that is in stock and ready to ship from Amazon for just $39.99.
  • It’s called the Hygea SteriWand UV Sanitizer Wand and it’s even waterproof so you don’t have to worry about using it around the bathroom and kitchen.

It should go without saying at this point that face masks and hand sanitizer are the two most important things out there when it comes to protecting yourself from the novel coronavirus. The CDC says so, the WHO says so, and experts all over the world agree. In fact, the CDC instructs people right on its coronavirus site to always wear face masks anytime they have to leave their homes for any reason. The organization really couldn’t be any more clear: “Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.”

Amazon’s best-selling face masks and the site’s best-selling alcohol-based hand sanitizer are both in stock right now, so you really have no excuse to be without either. And if you want to be even safer, you can get the strongest hand sanitizer we’ve ever seen — Eighty Aid hand sanitizer with 80% alcohol content. Of course, there are a few other tools you need in order to be extra safe, and we just found a terrific deal on one that you might not even be aware of.

Steri Wand – Ultra Violet Sanitizing Light | Sanitizing Wand | UV Sterilizer Wand | UV Light Ge…: $48.00

In addition to alcohol and other disinfectants, UV-C light also kills bacteria and viruses including human coronaviruses. That’s why having a UV sanitizer wand is such a great idea, but the problem is sellers are taking advantage of the pandemic and charging over $100 for most models. Lucky for you, we came across a top-rated option on Amazon that’s in stock now and it’s not price-gouged, so you can pick one up for just $39.99 if you hurry.

It’s called the Hygea SteriWand UV Sanitizer Wand and it’s even waterproof so you don’t have to worry about getting it wet when you use it in the bathroom or around the kitchen. This model is compact, portable, rechargeable, and it uses the 254nm UV-C light band for maximum effectiveness. Use it on any surface you want and within just a few minutes, that surface will be sanitized. Just please be smart and don’t use it on your skin or on anyone else, and definitely keep it away from your face and eyes.

Watch CNN reporters get arrested while covering the Minnesota protests

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • CNN reporters covering the protests in Minnesota were arrested after attempting to comply with the demands of riot police.
  • The incident was broadcast live, showing reporter Omar Jimenez being arrested while asking where the police wanted the team to move.
  • The protests were sparked by the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in handcuffs as an officer pinned him down with a knee to the throat.

The death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who is seen on video lying face down with a police officer’s knee pressed against his throat, has sparked widespread unrest in Minnesota. The officers involved in the arrest and death of Floyd were fired, and protests against police brutality have steadily grown in size over the past few days.

Overnight, clashes between heavily armed police and protesters led to damage to buildings and even a police precinct. CNN reporters and video crew were on the ground, documenting the events as they played out, and in a truly bizarre turn of events, Minnesota police decided that they needed to be arrested.

Coronavirus face masks are on sale for 35¢ and it’s your last chance to get them

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Face masks with filters have been in stock and for sale for weeks now, and our readers have bought tens of thousands of boxes since the CDC recommends that we all wear them to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
  • Prices have come down in recent weeks, and the best-selling face masks on Amazon now cost just 70¢ each.
  • That was been the best price we’ve seen for top-rated masks until now, thanks to a special sale that slashes the price of best-selling Modenna 3-layer face masks to just 35¢ apiece.

How is it possible that there are people out there who are still complaining about having to wear a face mask? Are you people insane?! It’s not just conjecture anymore, people… it’s a scientific fact that wearing a face mask and practicing social distancing protects you from contracting and spreading the novel coronavirus. Yet somehow there are still whiny people out there complaining that wearing a face mask somehow infringes on their freedom. Seriously, give me a break.

Unless you’re a moron, you understand how serious COVID-19 can be whether or not you have any known pre-existing conditions. You’ve also read all the expert opinions on the benefits of wearing a face mask anytime you’re outside your home. The CDC says it quite clearly on its website: “everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public.” If you do that while also practicing social distancing and using alcohol-based hand sanitizer (there’s plenty in stock right now at Amazon) anytime you touch objects or surfaces in public places, you’ll protect yourself and everyone around you from catching COVID-19. It’s so easy, you’d have to be crazy not to do it.

As far as face masks go, we can tell that BGR Deals readers are very responsible because they’ve bought tens of thousands of boxes of face masks over the past couple of months. If you’re running low or if you want to stock up on masks ahead of the inevitable second wave of coronavirus infections, we’ve got some fantastic news.

Prices of face masks have dropped dramatically over the past few weeks, and the best-selling Jointown face masks on Amazon now cost just 70¢ each. At that price, there’s no reason not to stock up on a few boxes. Before you buy those, however, we need to tell you about another option.

Modenna Face Mask Disposable Blue 50Pcs: $17.58 ($0.35 / mask)

Modenna 3-layer face masks have the same construction as Amazon’s best-selling masks. They also have the same design and great reviews. They’re not like N95 or KN95 masks, of course, though KN95 masks just arrived back in stock at Amazon and they’re down around $3.25 each. KN95 face masks are great for high-risk situations like taking public transportation, but regular 3-ply masks definitely do the job in normal circumstances as long as you’re also using social distancing and good hygiene.

70¢ apiece is already a fantastic price for something that could quite literally save your life, but a special limited-time deal on the Modenna face masks slashes the price even further. The current Amazon discount means you can get a 50-count box of 3-ply face masks for only $17.58. That’s just 35¢ per mask! This deal is definitely going to sell out soon, so hurry up or you’ll miss out.

This Google app will help keep you safe from coronavirus

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Coronavirus social distancing practices should still be observed, even if governments have started lifting lockdowns measures, as the virus is still very contagious.
  • Google developed a new tool to help users ensure they’re keeping at least six feet away from other people, and it’s available right inside the Chrome browser.
  • The Sodar AR app will show you whether you’re at least six feet away from someone else, as long as you keep your phone turned on.

Social distancing measures may not be as strict as they were last month, but you should still try to stay away from people as much as possible when you’re outside. The novel coronavirus’s infection rate may have slowed in your area, but COVID-19 hasn’t magically disappeared, and it might never will. The only way to reduce transmissibility is to keep your distance from others, wear face masks, and wash your hands often. These activities should be priorities to anyone until we have drugs available to beat this thing. Keeping three to six feet away from others might be difficult to enforce, and the virus can travel well over six feet in the right conditions. But Google does have an app that can help you keep at least six feet between you and other people. Unfortunately, it’s still experimental, it works only on Android, and it requires you to keep the phone screen turned on at all times.

Google canceled a next-gen Pixel phone, but photos just leaked anyway

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • The Pixel 4a release date is still a mystery, as Google has postponed the release of its affordable next-gen handset.
  • A new leak reveals that Google has considered making a bigger version of the phone, the Pixel 4a XL, that many people expected to see in stores this spring.
  • Several reports have claimed that the Pixel 4a XL was canceled, but a new series of photos reveal the phone would have offered a better camera experience than the smaller model that’s still expected to launch.

Google should have released the Pixel 4a phone at this year’s Google I/O event that was initially scheduled for mid-May. But then, the novel coronavirus pandemic forced governments to impose stricter social distancing measures that included the cancelation of public gatherings such as a developers conference. We still expected the Pixel 4a to be unveiled online this month, even without a formal I/O 2020 press conference. But then Apple launched the brand new iPhone SE, priced at $399, which was the rumored price of the Pixel 4a. Since then, we heard that the Pixel 4a would be even cheaper than planned, starting at $349, but the launch slipped to June and then July. We’re nowhere closer to getting any official news about the Pixel 4a, but we do have one more Pixel leak, one that says Google considered making an XL version of the handset, one that could have been even better than the low-cost model.

Ancient mass extinction event tied to breakdown of the ozone layer

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • A mass extinction 360 million years ago was likely caused by a rapidly-warming climate that triggered a breakdown in the ozone layer.
  • Plant samples from the time period reveal DNA that had been damaged by UV radiation.
  • Scientists warn that we may be in store for another such event if we can’t control our own warming of the climate.

When the miles-wide asteroid that arrived at Earth some 66 million years ago came crashing down, it wiped out an estimated 75% of all species on the planet. It was an incredibly devastating event, and given the size of the space rock that caused it, it’s understandable.

But long before that colossal rock came down, a mass extinction event 360 million years ago wiped out a huge chunk of the plant and aquatic life on our planet. Now, researchers think they know what happened, and it all has to do with a damaged ozone layer.

The severe post-coronavirus syndrome isn’t just affecting children

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • The severe coronavirus syndrome that has been found to affect children is even more dangerous than believed, as young adults can also experience the same symptoms.
  • Likened to Kawasaki disease, the post-COVID-19 illness is called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
  • Hundreds of cases have been registered in the US alone, and MIS-C requires professional care.

It all started in late April, with UK doctors issuing a warning about a strange inflammatory syndrome in children who were infected with the novel coronavirus. The disease looked similar to Kawasaki disease and included symptoms such as multiple body parts becoming inflamed. Soon after that, doctors in American hospitals started noticing the syndrome. Hundreds of cases emerged worldwide in children who were exposed to COVID-19 or had the disease.

Doctors still can’t explain why this syndrome is becoming increasingly common, but now we have a name for the condition: multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C. Now, some physicians think they’ve found markers that can predict severe cases. Most kids do recover from MIS-C, but there have been a few fatalities. Moreover, it looks like the syndrome is now affecting young adults, a possibility that doctors have to prepare for.
