Researchers have proven that coronavirus isn’t a man-made bioweapon
- A team of international researchers has used the SARS-CoV-2 genome to study the origin of the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease.
- The researchers found that the coronavirus evolved naturally, rejecting ideas that it could have been manufactured artificially in a laboratory for use as a bioweapon.
- The scientists have two different scenarios as to how the virus mutated to attack human hosts, and both involve acquiring a precursor of the novel coronavirus virus from animals.

As amazing modern technology might be when it comes to dealing with a pandemic like the novel coronavirus when it comes to staying updated on developments and dealing with boredom while practicing social distancing, there’s also a huge side-effect that needs addressing. The spread of fake news, myths, and conspiracy theories that surround COVID-19 are real things that are happening online. Tech giants including Facebook, Google, and Twitter, are already taking steps to prevent the spread of misinformation, which can only sow further panic. And it turns out that scientists are ready to provide plenty of answers that should stop some of the misinformation campaigns happening online.
Researchers have been able to determine that the novel coronavirus pandemic is a natural event and that the SARS-CoV-2 virus isn’t a man-made bioweapon, as you might have heard from that friend or family member of yours who keeps forwarding conspiracy theories to your phone.

New coronavirus test can return results in 30 minutes
- Oxford scientists have developed a new test for the coronavirus that returns a result in as little as 30 minutes, far faster than any existing test.
- The test is highly accurate and can detect even the earliest stages of the infection, making it a great tool for the healthcare community.
- A device is being developed to make the test easy to use by doctors and patients alike, but it’s unclear when it might be available for widespread use.
- Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.
A new coronavirus test developed by scientists at the University of Oxford could prove to be a vital weapon against the rapid spread of COVID-19. The test, which was developed specifically to detect the novel coronavirus, can return results in as little as 30 minutes.
One of the biggest hurdles to quickly and accurately mapping the spread of the coronavirus pandemic has been not only the distribution of test kits but the time it takes for those tests to produce either a positive or negative result. Many of the earliest tests took days before doctors knew the result, but that was shortened to less than a day, and newer tests often return results in anywhere from a few hours to 90 minutes.

Secret sale saves you 20% on Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite eReaders
- Amazon’s Kindle lineup of eReaders is by far the most popular brand in the world, and it doesn’t have any close competition at all.
- Perhaps for that reason, and because Kindles are so well-made and feature-rich, Kindle eBook readers like the all-new Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite are quite pricey.
- Buy any one of the aforementioned Kindle book readers and you’ll pay full price right now — but there’s a secret sale today on Amazon that offers huge savings if you buy two Kindle devices at the same time.
- Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.
Look, we’re all starting to feel it right now. The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is likely the most terrifying event of this generation and things are going to get much worse before they start to get any better. But there’s one important thing that you have to keep reminding yourself: things will get better. We must all be vigilant in practicing social distancing and self-quarantining as much as possible. The more we can slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, the better the care we’ll receive when some of us inevitably do get sick. Self-quarantining and washing your hands as thoroughly and as often as possible is even more important than social distancing, and we all need to remember that. Stay home.
Needless to say, self-quarantining is going to get very boring, very quickly. In fact, if you’re one of the responsible people who have already been staying home for several days or even a week now, there’s a good chance that you’re already starting to get a bit stir-crazy. You can definitely still go outside, of course, and it’s a great idea to take walks around town (as long as you stay away from other people) or to go on hikes. But you’re going to be spending a whole lot more time inside than you are outside in the coming weeks or even months, so it’s important to keep yourself occupied.
Why not catch up on some reading?
Browse around Amazon right now and you won’t find any mention of a sale on Kindle devices. At least, not until you actually visit the product pages for either the Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite. There, you’ll find a tiny note that informs you of a fantastic sale that’s available right now for a limited time only. Buy any one Kindle device and you’ll pay full price. But if you purchase two Kindles you will automatically save 20% at checkout! The offer applies to both the waterproof Kindle Paperwhite and to the all-new Kindle, so definitely take advantage before this deal is done. Also, keep in mind that it doesn’t have to be two of the same model, so you can buy one of each and still save 20%
Kindle Paperwhite – Now Waterproof with 2x the Storage – Includes Special Offers: Buy two, save 20%
All-new Kindle – Now with a Built-in Front Light – Black – Includes Special Offers: Buy two, save 20%
One final note: if you don’t want two eBook readers and you only need one, you can pick up a Certified Refurbished Kindle right now for just $59.99 while supplies last. Certified refurbs are guaranteed to look and work like new or you can return it for a full refund.

iPhone 9 release is reportedly coming soon, but iPhone 12 likely delayed
- iPhone 9 mass production has begun, according to analyst and reliable leaker Jon Prosser.
- Prosser also confirmed that the iPhone 9 Plus will launch alongside the iPhone 9, which has yet to be officially announced by Apple.
- As for the 5G iPhone 12, Prosser believes that Apple’s 2020 flagship phone will be delayed until at least November at this point.
- Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.
As we near the end of March, it’s clear that whatever spring event Apple had planned for this month is not happening as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, but that didn’t stop Apple from announcing a few new devices this week. On Wednesday, Apple revealed a new iPad Pro and a discounted MacBook Air, both of which we assume would have been highlighted at a spring event, had the virus not turned the world upside-down.
The star of the show, though, was nowhere to be found. Multiple reports have suggested that Apple had been forced to delay the release of the iPhone 9 (or iPhone SE 2, depending on who you ask), as supply chains all over the world are being disrupted by the outbreak. As such, we didn’t expect to see the sequel to 2016’s iPhone SE any time soon, but a reliable source now claims that the phone has just entered mass production.

One day only: Connect everything in your house with $5 Alexa smart plugs
- Coronavirus quarantine is the perfect time to expand your smart home setup or to start building one if you’re new to this exciting market.
- Among all the different smart home devices out there, the single most popular category could be smart plugs because they’re so versatile and easy to use.
- Amazon is running a terrific one-day sale on Thursday that slashes the price of popular Aoycocr Mini Smart Plugs to just $4.87 each when you buy a 4-pack and use a special coupon code at checkout.
- Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.
We’re all going to be spending a whole lot of time indoors in the weeks and months to come. Well, maybe not all of us, since a bunch of stupid people out there like those idiot Spring Breakers still aren’t taking the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic seriously. Going out unnecessarily and not employing social distancing puts us all at risk by speeding up the spread of the novel coronavirus, which will inevitably lead to hospitals running out of beds for people who need them most.
The bottom line is this: stay at home as much as you possibly can. And since you’re going to be home so much in the coming weeks, it’s a great opportunity to expand your smart home setup or to start one if you’re not already on board with this exciting consumer electronics category.
Money is tight for all of us right now, and that’s why Amazon’s current deal on Aoycocr Mini Smart Plugs is so terrific. 4-packs of these top-rated smart plugs normally sell for $33, which is roughly in line with similar products we’ve seen from smaller brands. Incredibly, that’s also about how much some of the larger brands charge for a single smart plug! As a reminder, these mini smart plugs connect to the power cord on any old “dumb” device and let you control it with a smartphone, Alexa, or even Google Assistant. You’ll think of all sorts of different devices to control with these awesome smart plugs — I use one to control my outdoor landscape lighting and tie it into my smart home system.
$33 for four popular Wi-Fi smart plugs is indeed a fair price, but you won’t pay anywhere near that much right now. Clip the 5% coupon on the product page and use the special promo code QPJ3C2EU at checkout, and you can pick up a 4-pack of Aoycocr Mini Smart Plugs for just $19.49. That’s only $4.87 per plug, which is a new all-time low price.

Here’s how celebrities get coronavirus tests even though you can’t
- Celebrities have been able to get coronavirus tests before others, even without showing any signs of a COVID-19 infection.
- That’s because private labs and concierge doctors are conducting private testing for hefty fees.
- The CDC has strict rules in place for coronavirus testing. The test is free, but screening campaigns can’t be conducted because the logistics aren’t yet in place.
- Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.
The rest of the world had a two-month lead on China to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, but most of them failed spectacularly at getting ready for what eventually became a pandemic. One of the most pressing problems in the US and other countries is the lack of available test kits. As South Korea has proven, extensive testing can do wonders to stop the spread of the COVID-19 disease, as it can catch infected people early even if they’re not showing any symptoms. This leads to early quarantine and treatment, and the infection rate drops significantly. Countries that don’t have enough test kits on hand can only dream of following South Korea’s random testing strategy. But if you’re a celebrity and you suspect you might have the virus or you want to be tested as a precautionary measure, you might be able to skip the lines and rules and get a test result long before mere mortals do.

The internet went crazy for Animatronic Baby Yoda, and it’s finally back on Amazon
- Last month, Hasbro unveiled a new Animatronic Baby Yoda toy that will be released ahead of the holidays this year, and the internet went crazy for it.
- The adorable little doll was made available for pre-order on Amazon shortly after it was first announced, but a rush of demand resulted in the toy’s disappearance just a few days later.
- Now, the new Baby Yoda toy has somehow reappeared on Amazon and is available for pre-order once again, but there’s no telling how long it will remain on the site.
- Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.
If ever there was a time when we needed some good news, that time is now. And when it comes to new product releases that are destined to be among the most popular gift purchases ahead of the holidays this year, the news doesn’t get any better than this: the Animatronic Baby Yoda that Hasbro unveiled late last month is back on Amazon and available for pre-order once again! (Yes, February might seem like it was a lifetime ago at this point, but Animatronic Baby Yoda was unveiled less than four weeks ago.)
Whether or not you’ve seen The Mandalorian series on Disney+, you have undoubtedly seen Baby Yoda. The character’s actual name in the show is “The Child,” but he uses the force and he looks just like Yoda as a baby, so that’s obviously what everyone was going to call him. Disney clearly had no idea just how obsessed people were going to be with Baby Yoda, so the company didn’t have any Baby Yoda merch or toys available for sale when the series premiered. That led to all sorts of bootlegging on sites like eBay and Etsy, but an official Animatronic Baby Yoda toy is now on the way and it’s awesome. See it in action in the video below.
Animatronic Baby Yoda disappeared from Amazon just a few short days after the toy was first made available for pre-order, and that’s not exactly a surprise considering the reception it got when Hasbro unveiled it. Somehow it’s back on Amazon today though, and it’s the first time it has been made available for pre-order again since it vanished in February.
This is definitely going to be the hottest toy of the holidays this year, so definitely pre-order it now if you want to have any chance at all of getting your hands on one before Christmas and Chanukah. Note that the Amazon page says the release date for Animatronic Baby Yoda is on December 15th, but that’s just a placeholder. Hasbro hasn’t yet announced a first release date, but it’ll definitely be before the holidays.
Star Wars The Child Animatronic Edition “AKA Baby Yoda” with Over 25 Sound and Motion Combinati…: $59.99
Heres the full description from Amazon’s Animatronic Baby Yoda product page:
From Hasbro’s Star Wars Collection: The Child Animatronic Edition with sounds and motorized sequences.
He may look like “Baby Yoda,” but this lovable creature is called The Child – and now you can become his protector with this animatronic toy from Star Wars. Touching the top of The Child Animatronic Edition’s head activates over 25 sound and motion combinations, including happy and excited sounds, giggles, babbles, and more, all while the figure’s head moves up and down, ears move back and forth, and eyes open and close. Boys and girls ages 4 and up can pretend to harness the power of the Force as The Child toy closes its eyes, raises its arm, and sighs as if exerting a great amount of energy.
