• If you’re on the lookout for a good site where you can buy face masks online to protect you from the novel coronavirus, we’ve got some great recommendations.
• By now we would hope that everyone knows the CDC recommends that we all wear face coverings anytime we leave our homes.
• Amazon’s best-selling face masks are by far the most popular option and tens of thousands of our readers have bought them in the past month.

Check out the CDC website and you’ll see the recommendation clear as day: everyone should wear a face mask anytime they go out in order to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Of course, that doesn’t mean you should go out and spend $20 or more on a single N95 respirator mask that can’t even be reused. In fact, the CDC says specifically that you should NOT purchase or wear medical-grade masks at all. Healthcare workers and people on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19 are in desperate need of PPE including face masks, so you should never reward opportunistic stores that sell them directly to consumers. In fact, you absolutely should report them.

The bottom line is that you don’t need a medical-grade face mask to protect yourself because you don’t spend hours at a time treating coronavirus patients like doctors and nurses do. You’re smart, so when you go out you always make sure to practice social distancing and good hygiene. For those reasons, there is a wide range of face masks that will provide you with more than enough protection while shopping in a supermarket or making other quick essential runs out of your home.

The favorite options right now among our readers are Jointown 3-Layer Face Masks, which cost just $0.60 each, and the MagiCare KN95 masks that are $3.45 each when you buy a box of 20. Both options are in stock and ready to ship right now at Amazon, and they happen to be the best-selling face masks on the retailer’s entire site. If you’re handy, you can also make your own DIY coronavirus face masks quickly and easily using materials you already have lying around your home. If you’d rather just buy face masks and you want some options aside from the best-sellers we just told you about, you’ll find five great places to buy face masks listed below.

Amazon

Head over to this face mask page on Amazon’s site and you’ll find a wide range of face masks that are available right now, including the best-sellers we mentioned above. There’s a good mix of 3-layer masks and various types of cloth face masks, and several of the most popular options are ready to ship soon and will be delivered within a week.

• A series of iPhone 12 leaks have already revealed the design, main features, and price of the upcoming iPhone flagships.
• The iPhone 12 release date may have been delayed by a few weeks on account of the novel coronavirus health crisis, but some iPhone 12 models may soon hit production.
• The iPhone 12 design has probably been finalized, and a new video shows us 3D-printed mockups of all four new iPhones.

This might be the year of the novel coronavirus, but Apple is still expected to unveil new iPhones in the second half of the year. Several rumors have already revealed plenty of iPhone 12 secrets, including specs and prices. One of the most exciting revelations concerns the number of new iPhones that Apple will launch in September and October. For the first time in iPhone history, we’re looking at four iPhone sizes, including a brand new 5.4-inch model.

The health crisis might force Apple to delay the iPhone press conference, a leaker said a few days ago. And some of the new iPhones might be launched several weeks later than expected. But the iPhone 12 final design should have been decided, with production reportedly set to start at some point in July for some of the four models. A brand new leak offers us a fresh look at the purported four iPhone 12 designs, revealing a tiny surprise in the process.

• The iOS 14 update will work on all the iPhones that can run iOS 13, a new leak claims.
• If the iOS 14 rumor is accurate, the 2015 iPhone 6s will be the oldest iPhones to run Apple’s latest operating system.
• Providing five years of software support to smartphones is a crucial iOS feature that Google can’t even dream of matching.

Apple’s new software innovations should be unveiled in a few weeks, during an online-only WWDC 2020 keynote presentation. That’s assuming the protests against police brutality won’t force Apple to postpone an event that was already delayed by the coronavirus health crisis. Google and Sony postponed their Android 11 and PS5 announcements that were scheduled for this week in light of the George Floyd protests.

The iPhone maker will unveil software novelties across all its platforms, including iOS (and iPadOS), macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. But, as always with these events, it’s the iPhone operating system updates that will be the stars of the show. iOS 14 leaks have already revealed some of the highlights of the new OS update. All of that seems to be genuine information, as someone got their hands on an iPhone running an internal version of the unreleased OS. A new report appears to confirm that iOS 14 will help Apple secure a huge advantage over Android, one that Google can hardly dream of.

• The number of coronavirus cases in Israel increased in the wake of the country easing restrictions on public transportation.
• Buses and trains tend to pack in riders closely together and can be a catalyst for widespread exposure.

The coronavirus pandemic is still ongoing, but the virus has seemingly started to subside in many areas across the country. This, coupled with the fact that many people are growing increasingly restless on quarantine, has prompted a number of states to loosen up coronavirus-related restrictions. Some states, for example, are now allowing non-essential businesses like barbershops to reopen.

In light of the above, some medical researchers have cautioned that reopening states up too soon could result in a second, and potentially more deadly, wave to emerge. Indeed, we’re already starting to see this play out in a few countries across the world.

• The coronavirus’ US toll is continuing to get worse, even as everyone’s attention has moved on to more acute tragedy that’s dominating attention in the country right now.
• More than 1.8 million people have been infected with the coronavirus to-date in the US, and there have been more than 105,000 reported deaths here.
• Experts say one particular public setting should probably especially be avoided by anyone worried about catching the coronavirus.

What extraordinary times we’re living in, when as recently as February most people had no inkling that a global pandemic was about to completely reshape daily life as we know it. The coronavirus’ US toll is something we’ve lived with for more than two months now, and even though the virus has now infected more than 1.8 million people in the US (and killed more than 105,000 as of the time of this writing, according to the latest stats from Johns Hopkins University), it’s now been supplanted by a tragedy of an altogether different kind.

We’re continuing to learn more news about the coronavirus each day, some of it promising and other details troubling, like so much else about the COVID-19 pandemic that has changed all of our lives. Meantime, as states are gradually opening back up again and economies are coming back to life around the country after weeks of lockdown, experts have been sharing notes of caution, warnings about the possibility of a new wave of coronavirus, and best practices about how we can all keep ourselves safe in public again.

• The main Avengers timeline will continue after Endgame without three important heroes: Black Widow, Iron Man, and the original Captain America.
• There have been some rumors about Iron Man returning to the MCU, and fans have wondered whether Chris Evans will ever reprise his role as Captain America.
• The actor made it clear during a recent interview that it would be too risky to revisit Steve Rogers.

Their numerous appearances entertained us for more than 10 years, but three of our favorite Marvel superheroes are out of the picture after Avengers: Endgame. Black Widow and Iron Man died, while Captain America retired in a separate timeline to finally grow old with the love of his life. Technically, Black Widow will be back for at least one more movie. Black Widow is the origin story Scarlett Johansson should have gotten years ago, but never did. Now that the movie’s finally ready, the novel coronavirus has forced Disney to postpone the launch to November. Iron Man should also have a brief cameo in the film, using old footage from other MCU movies.

But Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans aren’t expected to appear in new MCU movies going forward. There’s been recent talk recently about RDJ reprising his iconic Iron Man role, and that’s great news for fans who hope to see the actor in the suit again. But the only way for that to work would be in prequels that precede the events of Endgame. Reviving Tony Stark for movies that follow Endgame would ruin Endgame. As for Evans, the actor suggested a few months ago that he’d consider playing Steve Rogers again.

But now he’s made it clear that it’s not happening.

• New sunspots and solar flares on the Sun were spotted by NASA and could be an indication that we’re entering a period of increased solar activity.
• The solar minimum, a period of low activity on the Sun, may be ending, but we won’t know for sure for a few more months.
• Solar flares and coronal mass ejections can impact communications on Earth and even damage satellites.

Our Sun is incredibly important to our survival. We’d like to make sure it’s nice and warm and happy at all times, but our nearest star goes through a variety of moods just like everyone else. These solar cycles include times of increased activity, with sunspots and solar flares firing off regularly, to quiet stretches in which sunspots and flares are far rarer.

Just a couple of days ago, NASA helped spot a new batch of sunspots and the flares arcing above them. In a new blog post, NASA explains that the flares weren’t particularly powerful, and didn’t register with NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, but NASA’s own hardware was able to detect them. The space agency suggests that the sunspots and flares could be an indication that the star is becoming more active yet again.

• The list of the most-watched TV shows across the major streaming services over the past week leans heavily on new titles, not so much the old favorites that are usually included on the list.
• The list of shows from services like Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu reflects Americans’ desire for escapism and entertainment to counterbalance the stream of negative headlines right now.
• Our list of the most-watched TV shows comes once again from the team at the streaming search engine service Reelgood.

I don’t know about you, but streaming entertainment is one of the few things keeping me sane right now, given how depressing the state of the country is — and, as always, our latest weekly rundown of the most-watched TV shows across the major streaming platforms reflects that desire for escapism.

To that end, it probably shouldn’t surprise me that that animated hijinks depicted in the Adult Swim series Rick and Morty were what streaming fans gravitated to the most between May 21-27. That’s according to the team at the streaming search engine service Reelgood, which each week shares with BGR a rundown of what its millions of members are watching the most via the service across both Netflix as well as the other major streamers.

• Data from a new coronavirus drug trial shows that a 5-day course of remdesivir therapy is more effective than standard care, and works just as well as a 10-day course.
• The results only apply to a specific set of COVID-19 patients, namely people who developed a moderate case, which included pneumonia without reduced oxygen levels.
• The new Phase 3 SIMPLE remdesivir study indirectly suggests the drug won’t work in severe cases, and it will not affect COVID-19 mortality rates. The results are in line with a previously published trial.

The novel coronavirus still has no cure, but doctors have devised plenty of therapies that have shown promise and are in various stages of testing. One of them is remdesivir, the drug that received Dr. Anthony Fauci’s endorsement in late April. We learned at the time that remdesivir can speed up recovery, reducing it down from 15 days with other types of care to 11 days. Fauci said at the time that the drug didn’t affect mortality rates and that remdesivir may have to be combined with different medicine to improve COVID-19 therapy.

The study was published a few weeks later, further confirming these findings, and making it clear that remdesivir isn’t the miracle COVID-19 drug we’ve been waiting for. The maker of remdesivir on Monday published an additional study on Monday that says that remdesivir works in COVID-19 therapies. However, Gilead’s Phase 3 study assessed the length of treatment, and its conclusions may only apply to a certain subset of patients.

• SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule has passed several milestones over the past few days, but it still has to complete a safe return to Earth before NASA can certify it.
• Once Crew Dragon is certified, it can be used whenever NASA wants to send humans back and forth to the International Space Station.
• With its own spacecraft to launch from US soil, NASA no longer has to rely on seats aboard Russian spacecraft headed for the ISS.

When SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule traveled to space atop a Falcon 9 rocket on Saturday, it was a big deal. It was an even bigger deal when the Crew Dragon docked with the International Space Station, allowing two NASA crew members to join their peers in the orbiting laboratory. Those were two huge accomplishments, but NASA has yet to actually certify Crew Dragon as being ready for regular use in space missions. It can’t do that until the spacecraft makes it back to Earth in one piece.

The final hurdle for SpaceX and Crew Dragon is a safe return to Earth with astronauts on board. Unfortunately for SpaceX, NASA hasn’t decided when that return trip will actually happen.
