• One of the keys to keeping the spread of coronavirus under control as states and cities move to reopen gradually in the coming days will be whether their populations largely embrace the wearing of face masks when they venture out into public.
• Along those lines, one group of researchers is testing whether they can develop a face mask that does more than simply cover your face — it would actually alert you to the presence of coronavirus.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

With the coronavirus crisis set to enter a new chapter, as states and locales around the US begin a gradual process of opening back up again while trying to strike a balance between that and living with the COVID-19 virus, face masks are being regarded as a key piece of what comes next.

If you live in some of the states and areas of the country where people are gradually being allowed to go back out into public again — and assuming you actually want to — you will increasingly see signs posted by businesses that mandate face masks and social distancing if you come inside. In fact, a group of some 100 medical professionals that includes Nobel prize winners has signed on to an open letter urging the mandating of face masks for everyone who goes out in public or to their job. Uber drivers and employees now have to wear face masks, and Apple has been working to make it easier to use iOS and Face ID while wearing a face mask. Meanwhile, there’s a new kind of face mask in the works that’s vastly different than the kind most people are wearing right now — and might even have the potential to save your life.

• Following the $2 trillion stimulus package passed in March, democrats are pushing for an even bigger stimulus package to boost the economy.
• A recent study found that most Americans used their $1,200 payout on essential items like rent, food, and utilities.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

With the coronavirus bringing the U.S. economy to a standstill, President Trump in March approved a sweeping $2 trillion stimulus package that included $1,200 payouts to eligible Americans. The IRS began issuing said payments via direct deposit last month and stopped accepting new requests on May 13. If you’re eligible for a payout but didn’t provide the IRS with your banking information, you’ll likely receive a check in the mail sometime before July.

Now that we’re about a month removed from the first round of direct deposits, it’s becoming clear that a new stimulus package will be necessary to help Americans pay for basic necessities. Unemployment remains at a historically high level and a new study found that the majority of Americans spent their $1,200 payout on things like rent, utilities, and food.

• Fish at Australia’s popular Cairns Aquarium are feeling a bit down after lockdown prevented visitors from coming to see them.
• We don’t usually think of fish as having emotions, but the scientists who work with them say that’s definitely not the case.
• Even some wild fish at the Great Barrier Reef are missing the constant stream of tourists that come to see them.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Social distancing has forced all of us to live our lives a bit differently than we’re used to. It also means that gathering in places like zoos and aquariums is an absolute no-go, at least for the time being. You might be missing your loved ones and close friends more than ever right now, but it seems that captive fish are experiencing similar emotions.

As ABC News reports, marine biologists are beginning to notice symptoms of loneliness in the fish that typically see countless visitors every day. You might be wondering how you can tell the emotions of a fish, but the folks who see them day in and day out are spotting the changes.

• The US House of Representatives on Friday passed a new coronavirus stimulus package that’s full of benefits — including money set aside to fund the payment of new stimulus checks for Americans.
• The proposal calls for another round of stimulus payments totaling $1,200 for individuals and up to $6,000 for households.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

As the workweek drew to a close, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed a $3 trillion coronavirus emergency relief package that bears the distinction of being the biggest such emergency bill in US legislative history. It follows on the heels of the previous record-holder, a $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package from back in March that provided funding for, among other things, direct payments which the IRS is still in the process of distributing to most Americans to help blunt at least a little of the economic pain stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.

This new bill passed by the House, which will now go to the Senate where leaders in that Republican-controlled chamber have already said they’re loath to keep throwing money at solving the coronavirus crisis — at least at the scale as envisioned in this new bill — which would seem to make the bill dead on arrival in the upper chamber. The bill is chock full of coronavirus-related items, such as $200 billion to give hazard pay to essential workers and $75 billion for COVID-19 testing. It will also be interesting to see how Republicans handle one particular wild card in this new legislative package — an appropriation of funding that would give most Americans a new round of coronavirus stimulus checks. The amounts would total $1,200 for individuals, and up to $6,000 for households.

• New shows and movies streaming on Disney+ in June 2020 have been revealed.
• Artemis Fowl is one of the highlights of June, bringing Eoin Colfer’s beloved book series about a young criminal mastermind to life (on digital and a bit earlier than expected).
• Disney+ is also debuting a documentary series about the making of Frozen 2 in June.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

One of the side effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic is that some studios have opted to put their movies online rather than waiting for theaters to reopen. Disney has already made it clear its blockbusters will debut in theaters, no matter how long that takes, but some of the releases without such a high profile have been premiering on Disney+ instead, including Pixar’s Onward. In June, Artemis Fowl will join that group as well.

If you haven’t read the books, Artemis Fowl is a fantasy novel about a 12-year-old criminal mastermind who kidnaps a fairy and holds it for ransom. It didn’t quite generate same following as Harry Potter, but the series is genuinely great, and film studios have been trying to make a movie out of it for decades.

• The origin of the novel coronavirus pandemic is still unknown because the world lacks data about Patient Zero, the first patient who got the virus.
• New research indicates that COVID-19 may have been spreading in France in mid-November when some patients already had atypical pneumonia that’s consistent with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
• The data might back up other findings that say the virus may have jumped to humans as early as October.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The novel coronavirus wasn’t made in a lab, but that doesn’t mean China has been forthcoming with information about the origin of the virus. After all this time, it’s still unclear when the first COVID-19 patients appeared, as that information hasn’t been made public. But we’re getting more and more evidence that outbreaks in Europe and the US started even earlier than officials thought. The latest proof comes from France, a country that already obtained evidence that said a COVID-19 patient was admitted to a hospital in Paris in late December at a time when no one knew about the disease. That patient had not traveled to China or anywhere else. The doctors who tested his samples months after his hospital visit were unable to explain where he got the virus from. And now, new evidence says the virus may have been circulating in France as early as mid-November, more than a month before the first confirmed case in Paris.

• To date, more than 1.4 million people in the US have become infected by the COVID-19 coronavirus.
• As the pandemic drags on, that number is only going to grow — especially with states and cities around the country gradually starting to reopen.
• As part of that reopening, it will become more important than ever for anyone who feels they might have coronavirus symptoms to isolate themselves appropriately.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Going forward, as parts of the US gradually start to reopen and states and cities slowly allow everything from restaurants to small stores to come back online, identification and isolation of coronavirus cases will become even more important. It’s the only way society will feel comfortable again about co-existing with the deadly coronavirus, for which we’re still months and months away from the announcement of a vaccine (and still some number of months away from therapeutics that can treat the virus). Not only that, but even at this stage of the pandemic, we’re still learning about signs of the virus and what symptoms to watch out for.

Opening up locales again means people are potentially putting themselves in a greater position of being exposed to the COVID-19 virus. But what does that “exposure” actually mean? “Exposure to COVID-19 means you were within six feet — for over 10 minutes, without protective equipment — of a person who had known COVID-19 disease or developed symptoms of it within the next two days,” Dr. David Cutler, a family medicine physician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., told PopSugar. “The consequences of exposure are that you should quarantine and self-monitor.”
