According to reports from NBC4 Washington and WTOP News, police tried to stop one car as it attempted to enter an interstate highway. The car quickly crashed as it attempted to avoid police, prompting the thief to flee on foot.

• There’s much we still don’t know about the COVID-19 coronavirus, which is continuing to infect (and kill) a growing number of people around the world. To date, more than 3.2 million people have tested positive for the virus, which has also killed more than 233,000.
• Unfortunately, what’s also spreading in tandem with the virus are dangerous myths, misinformation, and conspiracy theories about it.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

For pretty much the entirety of the coronavirus pandemic, myths and misinformation have spread almost as fast as the virus itself, which as of week’s end has infected more than 3.2 million people around the world that we know of — and killed more than 233,000. That’s according to the latest numbers from Johns Hopkins University, which provide a detailed and up-to-date look at the scale of the virus’ toll, but which don’t account for the myths and fake news about the deadly virus that have proliferated for weeks (some of which is downright dangerous misinformation that could end up getting you killed).

• Sony hasn’t said much about its plans for backwards compatibility on the PlayStation 5.
• We know that “most” of the 100 most-played PS4 games will be playable on the PS5 at launch, but we still don’t know if we will be able to play PS3, PS2, or PS1 games.
• A game developer explained some of the hurdles Sony would face if it did attempt to make games from every classic PlayStation console playable on the PS5.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Sony has yet to show us the PlayStation 5, but the deep dive into the console’s system architecture in March helped to fill in some of the blanks. The specifications of the hardware were finally revealed, and many of the console’s most significant features were detailed as well. But while the presentation answered many of our questions about the PS5, it also complicated some matters further. For example: What’s the deal with backwards compatibility?

The PlayStation 5 GPU is backwards compatible with the PlayStation 4. Lead system architect Mark Cerny confirmed this during the deep dive. He also revealed that “almost all” of the 100 most-played PS4 games will be playable on the PS5 at launch. Sony then posted an update on the PlayStation Blog explaining that “the overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 titles will be playable on PS5.” That’s good news, but what about other consoles?

• It’s Sony that decided to have Iron Man in the first Spider-Man movie that was included in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, says a YouTube channel.
• The company reportedly wanted a star-studded film to bring back the lost glory of Spider-Man in the aftermath of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
• While there’s no concrete evidence to support any of it, there’s no question that the Iron Man-Peter Parker relationship proved to be a crucial move for both Sony and Marvel.

The novel coronavirus pandemic changed life as we know it, including our ability to go to the theater. Not only are we unable to see any of the big releases planned for this part of the year, but studios stopped production on movies and TV shows as well. It will be a while before we go back to theaters, and until studios resume work on their projects, and we’ll also have to wait weeks or months until we start getting more details about upcoming attractions, like the 14 films and TV series that are part of Marvel’s MCU Phase 4.

But every now and again, exciting rumors pop up, and the latest concerns the new Spider-Man franchise that Sony developed on the back of Marvel’s MCU. The latest report says that it was Sony that insisted that Iron Man get a huge presence in the Spider-Man: Homecoming, as the studio wanted to restart the Spider-Man universe with a huge bang.

• A new research report claims that the coronavirus pandemic may not die down for two years if a vaccine isn’t developed.
• One of the challenges involved with keeping the coronavirus at bay is that it’s very efficient at spreading silently.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

A new report from the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota has some discouraging news in regards to our efforts to keep the coronavirus at bay. While many people assumed, perhaps too optimistically, that the coronavirus would be nothing more than a distant memory by the time fall rolled around, the report relays that the current coronavirus pandemic may last for upwards of two years.

The report, which was released on Thursday, notes that the global population at large essentially has no pre-existing immunity to the coronavirus. This, compounded by the fact that the virus can easily be spread by asymptomatic individuals, will make it incredibly challenging to keep the virus from spreading.

• The PlayStation 5 design reveal is one of the most anticipated events in the gaming world, but it’s unclear when Sony will unveil the new console.
• An insider with connections in the industry said on Twitter that Sony should follow Microsoft’s Xbox games event with some news of its own in a few weeks.
• It’s unclear whether he meant a PS5 reveal is imminent, or whether we’ll soon see more PS5 games get announced.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Microsoft has been winning the new console marketing war against Sony so far this year. The company took its time to reveal the name of the new Xbox, but it’s been ahead of Sony ever since. We learned what Project Scarlett would be called in mid-December, which is also when Microsoft showed the Xbox Series X to the world. Months later, Microsoft shared the specs of the 2020 Xbox with the world before Sony did, and the company just announced an Xbox Series X games event for next week.

All Sony did was reveal the PS5 specs during a boring video stream, and then show off the novel DualSense controller. But PS5 news might be coming in the next few weeks, according to an informed insider. It’s unclear, however, whether we’re going to get at an actual PS5 design reveal or just game announcements.

• Bill Gates explained in a new blog post that eight to 10 vaccine candidates out of the more than 115 proposed drugs show promise.
• He said that once the “perfect” vaccine has been developed, a drug that would have high efficacy at preventing the COVID-19 disease, it might become part of the routine newborn immunization schedule.
• Gates also explained that the real challenge is making at least seven billion doses and then deploying them as quickly as possible.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Bill Gates is one of the personalities that stands out during the novel coronavirus pandemic. First of all, the Microsoft co-founder warned the world this sort of thing could happen five years ago, in a TED Talk that went viral once the dangers of COVID-19 became clear. Second, Gates has been working with authorities on the pandemic, as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has some experience in dealing with infectious diseases.

Unsurprisingly, the Gates Foundation has been funding some COVID-19 efforts, with the former Microsoft exec saying he’s willing to risk billions on developing vaccines and logistics to potentially save trillions of dollars. In a new blog post on the matter of COVID-19 vaccines, Gates explained the current progress, saying that he believes there are eight to ten promising candidates. Once the perfect vaccine is out, Gates said, it might become part of the “routine newborn immunization schedule.”

• Apple’s recently released iPhone SE boasts the A13 Bionic, the fastest processor the company has ever released.
• Apple CEO Tim Cook believes the iPhone SE, on account of its power and $399 price point, will help lure over Android users.
• Even Android enthusiasts have praised the iPhone SE for offering up tremendous performance at an affordable price.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

If you’re looking for value in a smartphone, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal than Apple’s recently released iPhone SE. Priced at $399, Apple’s next-gen SE boasts an A13 processor and, as a result, the device can outperform any number of pricier Android flagships. And as we covered earlier this week, even Android enthusiasts have taken note of the value proposition the iPhone SE brings to the table.

When the original iPhone SE was released in 2016, the device proved to be far more popular than even Apple executives anticipated. And just yesterday, during Apple’s earnings conference call, Tim Cook said that Apple has already seen a “strong customer response to the iPhone SE.”
