This bizarre coronavirus symptom could be more common than a fever

  • Fever isn’t always going to be an indication of infection with the novel coronavirus, new studies have revealed.
  • Researchers from Europe and the US concluded that loss of smell is encountered more often in COVID-19 patients than fever.
  • COVID-19 can’t be diagnosed by looking at symptoms alone, but some of the signs associated with the new disease might point physicians in the right direction.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Fever, cough, and shortness of breath are thought of as the most common uncommon coronavirus symptoms, as we were told in the early days of the outbreak. Because of that, an actual test is needed to confirm infection with the novel coronavirus since fever, cough, and shortness of breath can also appear with other medical conditions, like the flu. As doctors obtained more data from COVID-19 patients, they started observing additional signs that can be associated with the infections. Muscle pain, chills, and sore throat can be indicative of COVID-19, but they’re still not unique enough to diagnose the illness. Then, we learned about some unusual symptoms. The sudden loss of smell and taste, neurological and cardiac manifestations, as well as skin lesions can all be caused by the novel coronavirus.

Researchers confirmed that the sudden loss of smell and taste is caused by the virus, and they have explained the phenomenon in great detail. But just as that happened, studies revealed that some of the symptoms we’ve been trained to look for might not be there. The list includes sore throat and fever, and a couple of new studies go on to say that fever is actually not a reliable indicator of a COVID-19 infection.

%name Think you can’t afford a home gym? Check out these 5 deals on exercise machines by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Gyms are starting to reopen in certain regions across the country but to be frank, you’re insane if you start going to the gym again anytime soon.
  • What you might not realize is that you’re probably wasting money on a gym membership anyway, since there are tons of great exercise machines that pay for themselves in just a few months if you cancel your membership.
  • That’s especially true over on Amazon, where there are several great deals right now on popular exercise equipment.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

We’re not sure who in their right mind would start going to the gym again anytime soon, but gyms in regions across the country are beginning to reopen as some states ease their coronavirus lockdowns. If you think going to work out in groups where everyone touches all the machines and breathes heavily while they work out is a good idea, then by all means, go for it. Let’s just hope that if you do catch COVID-19 as a result, you don’t get too sick and end up taking a hospital bed from someone who was being responsible and taking precautions.

The sane, responsible citizens among us will continue to skip the gym for the foreseeable future. Of course, skipping the gym doesn’t have to mean skipping workouts. If you think you can’t afford a home gym, think again because there are some fantastic deals over at Amazon right now on all sorts of exercise equipment.

Don’t miss this week’s 5 best-selling electronics devices on Amazon

%name Don’t miss this week’s 5 best selling electronics devices on Amazon by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Among our readers, coronavirus face masks and hand sanitizers are the best-selling products by a landslide.
  • The novel coronavirus pandemic isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so we definitely expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future.
  • Amazon is finally starting to refocus on all sorts of other popular products though, and here we look at the retailer’s five best-selling electronics devices of the week.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Among BGR Deals readers, it couldn’t be any clearer which product is the most popular: face masks. The CDC says on its coronavirus site that we all should wear a face covering each and every time we leave our homes for any reason. You don’t need a medical-grade mas since you’re also going to be practicing strict social distancing and good hygiene. A well-made 3-ply face mask will work wonders to protect you and those around you, and that’s why tens of thousands of our readers have bought them over the past month. Things like bandanas and DIY face masks are okay, but the ones we linked are much better and they’re only $0.70 each right now. Why not take advantage and get some extra protection?

Aside from face masks, electronics are still quite popular among our readers because everyone is looking for new toys to play with while sheltering in place. For example, Apple’s insanely popular AirPods Pro are top sellers since they’re available at the lowest price ever, and both AirPods 2 models have been flying off the shelves as well. None of Apple’s headphones are popular enough to make Amazon’s top-5 list this week though, so let’s take a look at the gadgets that did.

5. Echo Dot with Clock

Amazon’s Echo devices are back on sale this week, which means the most popular among them have once again shot to the top of the site’s best-sellers list. That includes the Echo Dot with Clock, which can be had right now for $44.99 instead of $60.

Echo Dot (3rd Gen) – Smart speaker with clock and Alexa – Sandstone: $44.99

4. Echo Dot

The $50 Echo Dot is one of Amazon’s best-selling devices of all time, and a big part of the reason why is because it often goes on sale for even less than $50. Grab one today and you’ll only pay $39.99!

Echo Dot (3rd Gen) – Smart speaker with Alexa – Plum: $39.99 (use code DOT2PACK)

3. Roku Premiere

The Roku Premiere came from out of nowehere to jump to #3 on this week’s list, and the reason is pretty clear. It’s a great streaming media player that supports 4K resolution as well as HDR content, and its on sale for just $29.

Roku Premiere | HD/4K/HDR Streaming Media Player, Simple Remote and Premium HDMI Cable: $29.99

2. Fire TV Stick 4K

The Echo Dot with Clock was #3 on the list earlier this month, but it got knocked back to #5 by none other than the Fire TV Stick 4K. It’s a fantastic value considering it packs support for 4K resolution and HDR into a tiny dongle, and the Alexa voice remote is fantastic. Also of note, a lucky few people can snag one right now for just $24.99 with the coupon code 4KFIRETV. You can learn more about this special deal right here.

1. Fire TV Stick

Amazon’s Fire TV Stick is one of the company’s best-selling products of all time, so it should come as no surprise that it tops this week’s list. That’s especially true since everyone is stuck at home so much these days, and they’re all streaming more movies and shows than ever before. The Fire TV Stick was sold out for a few weeks but now it’s finally back in stock and ready to ship out this week. There’s no telling how long Amazon’s current inventory will last though, so grab one now if you’re in need of a new streaming media player.

AirPods Pro have never been cheaper at Amazon – this is your last chance to get them

%name AirPods Pro have never been cheaper at Amazon – this is your last chance to get them by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • AirPods Pro wireless earphones with active noise cancellation are down to the lowest price ever at Amazon, but this surprising deal will undoubtedly disappear soon.
  • The new deeper discount drops AirPods Pro to just $227.99 at Amazon, beating the previous all-time low from Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year.
  • Amazon’s new all-time low comes courtesy of an extra discount that gets applied at checkout, but the added discount will almost certainly go away at some point on Friday or over the weekend.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Truth be told, there was absolutely no reason for Amazon to offer an even bigger discount than normal on Apple’s wildly popular AirPods Pro true wireless noise cancelling earphones this week. At full price, they’re already the most popular earbuds out there. Then, with the normal discount Amazon has been offering over the past month or so, they fly off the shelves. But for whatever reason, Amazon is apparently feeling generous so it slashed the price even further to $227.99. That’s $7 less than the retailer’s previous all-time low price that first appeared during Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year, and it’s definitely not going to last long.

As you can see in the screenshot above, Amazon is offering Apple’s popular noise cancelling earphones with a regular $14 discount, as it has been for several weeks now. But there’s an extra $7 discount that’s applied at checkout. What’s more, you can also see that they’re available with free one-day Prime shipping in some areas! There’s no telling how long the additional discount will be available, but our guess that it’ll disappear at some point today or over the weekend at the very latest, so this could be your last chance to grab these awesome earbuds at Amazon’s lowest price ever.

Apple AirPods Pro: $227.99 (new low price)

Not that you need a refresher, but here are the key points from Apple’s AirPods Pro page:

  • We refined the details of comfort, creating a new class of in-ear headphones with a customizable fit that forms an exceptional seal for Active Noise Cancellation. You’ll feel your music, not your headphones.
  • Choose from three sizes of soft, flexible silicone tips that click into place. Find the best fit — and get the best sound — by using the Ear Tip Fit Test.
  • These internally tapered tips conform to your ear shape, keeping AirPods Pro secure. And with vents helping equalize pressure, you feel like there’s nothing in your ears.
  • AirPods Pro are the only in-ear headphones with Active Noise Cancellation that continuously adapts to the geometry of your ear and the fit of the ear tips — blocking out the world so you can focus on what you’re listening to.
  • Noise cancellation is continuously adjusted at 200 times per second for truly immersive sound, so you’re fully tuned in to your music, podcasts, and calls.
  • Want to hear what’s happening around you? Just press and hold the force sensor on the stem to jump between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode — which lets outside sound in, and allows things to sound and feel natural when you’re talking to people nearby.
  • Tech-packed yet compact, AirPods Pro are built around our System in Package design — featuring the H1 chip that powers everything from sound to Siri.

The first breakthrough coronavirus antibody drug might finally be here

%name The first breakthrough coronavirus antibody drug might finally be here by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • One of the first brand new drugs made for COVID-19 therapy might be based on Sorrento’s STI-1499 antibody.
  • The antibody was 100% successful at stopping the novel coronavirus from infecting healthy cells in lab conditions.
  • Pending regulatory approval, the antibody drug could be used in the future as a standalone treatment or combined with other antibodies that can block the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The moment we find COVID-19 treatments that are truly effective, we’ll see the novel coronavirus with different eyes. Yes, the virus is highly transmissible and can lead to severe illness and death. But effective drugs that can block its ability to infect cells and meds that can reduce respiratory distress and inflammation will turn the new disease into an infection that we’ll learn to live with.

Several experts warned this week that the novel coronavirus is here to stay, and we may never get rid of it even when the vaccines arrive. But an increasing number of reports detail various therapies that can be used to improve the odds of recovery. Some of them rely on drugs that were developed to treat other conditions. Others use stem cells. And then there are plasma transfusions from patients who survived COVID-19.

Researchers are also working on a new type of drug that’s related to plasma therapy, antibody-based meds that can offer the same kind of protection as a plasma transfusion. Now, we have learned that one of the antibodies capable of blocking the SARS-CoV-2 virus from binding to cells has proven to be 100% effective in labs.

You can make these DIY coronavirus face masks in just a few minutes

  • Amazon’s best-selling face masks are in stock right now for $0.70 each, which is a new all-time low for the wildly popular face masks that everyone is wearing to protect themselves from the novel coronavirus.
  • Those masks offer 3 layers of protection and are more than good enough to do the job as long as you also practice strict social distancing and good hygiene.
  • If you want even better protection, you don’t need to overpay for price-gouged KN95 face masks — it’s actually very easy to make your own masks out of things you have lying around your house plus a few simple supplies from Amazon.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The CDC recommends that everyone wears a face mask anytime they leave their homes, whether it’s to go grocery shopping, to pick up food, to go for a walk, or for any other reason. Considering how prematurely nonessential businesses are reopening, this recommendation isn’t likely to change at least until next year. We have this plenty of times already, but we’re going to say it again: that doesn’t mean you should go out and buy medical-grade face masks. N95 respirator masks are in very short supply and are needed by hospitals. As for KN95 masks, the ones you find price-gouged online are unregulated and are probably about as effective as a t-shirt.

Face Mask, Pack of 50: $34.99 ($0.70 / mask)

Instead of wasting money on overpriced, underperforming KN95 masks, pick up Amazon’s best-selling face masks while they’re on sale for just $0.70 each, which is a new all-time low price for these wildly popular face masks. As long as you practice strict social distancing and good hygiene, these masks will do a terrific job of protecting you or helping stop you from spreading the novel coronavirus if you’re already infected. By the way, good hygiene means washing your hands anytime you touch something outside your home — on a related note, best-selling hand sanitizer is back in stock at Amazon right now.

That said, there’s actually a very simple way to can make masks yourself that are even more than effective than those face masks. On top of that, you can make dozens of them with a few simple supplies, most of which you already have lying around your home. You’ll obviously still need to practice good hygiene and use social distancing, but these masks will do a great job of adding an extra layer of protection against aerosolized coronavirus.

We came across a great little video that shows how to make a DIY face mask that is much better than most basic masks you’ve seen plans for online. It’s not complicated at all, and you don’t even need to sew or use any hard-to-get supplies. Most of what you need to make these masks is probably already lying around your house, and the only supplies you won’t already have just came back in stock at Amazon. First, you’ll need a MERV 13 Pleated Air Filter. If the one linked here is sold out, use this search and get any well-reviewed air filer with a MERV 13 rating (nothing lower). You also need some Carbon Pad Charcoal Sheets for Air Filters.
