• Dr. Anthony Fauci said that he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the coronavirus vaccine Moderna is working on.
• The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is one of Moderna’s partners on the COVID-19 drug, but the agency has been quiet this week on the heels of Moderna’s preliminary announcement.
• Fauci explained that the COVID-19 vaccine candidate proved to be safe for test subjects and effective, meaning it was able to train the immune system to develop the neutralizing antibodies that could stop the novel coronavirus from reaching cells.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci is one of the leading and most popular members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Fauci routinely appears on TV and in interviews to detail various efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 and find a cure for the novel coronavirus. The doctor has spoken about the viability of vaccines on several occasions, most recently saying that the first vaccine could be just a few months away. He also authored a paper together with other health experts detailing a plan for this particular type of COVID-19 drug, where they said that a single vaccine might not be enough for the world’s needs.

Moderna’s vaccine candidate was the first to reach Phase 1 human trials a few months ago, and the company delivered its early results on the matter earlier this week. At the time, NIAID did not express an opinion on the issue, but now Fauci says he’s cautiously optimistic.

• The COVID-19 coronavirus’ US impact continues to be felt far and wide, with few industries impacted by the outbreak of the pandemic as much as hospitality and travel.
• As Americans gear up to celebrate Memorial Day this weekend, some travelers will want to get out of the house finally — and, more specifically, to actually get out of town.
• Here are some of the coronavirus-related changes you can expect from the TSA if your travels include a flight this weekend.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Travel industry professionals are especially keen to see how the next several days unfold, both to see whether the Memorial Day weekend brings an uptick in travelers deciding to hit the road or take to the skies — and, also, what kind of effect that will have on the COVID-19 coronavirus’ US toll.

Already, we’ve heard horror stories about the dystopian-sounding experiences that some fliers are having, including the sight of flight attendants in hazmat suits. In preparation for making cabins safe for fliers and airline employees alike, carriers have resorted to measures including flying at reduced capacity, keeping middle seats open, stepping up cleaning procedures, and requiring employees and fliers to wear face masks. But the coronavirus-related changes you’ll encounter if you plan to head out of town this weekend extend well beyond the plane’s cabin, with the TSA having also just announced several new procedures it’s starting to roll out to keep everyone safe from the virus that’s now infected almost 1.6 million people in the US as of the time of this writing.

Protein bars are perfect for a quick bite when you’re in a rush. They’re also packed full of nutrition unlike most quick and easy snacks people eat, and they’re actually quite filling so you don’t have to worry about wanting a snack a few hours later.

There are plenty of options out there for good protein bars these days. Some taste better than others, but they’ve come a long way in recent years, generally speaking. Finding one that tastes decent used to be a daunting task, but now you’ll find that most of the popular options out there taste okay. Now, if you want something that tastes absolutely delicious and still has all the protein you need without all the carbs, you want Quest Hero Bars.

When I tell you that Hero bars are delicious, I’m not exaggerating at all. They’re not just tasty when compared to other protein bars, they’re tasty, period. Quest’s Hero bars use a sweetener called allulose that’s made from sugar and tastes like sugar. Your body doesn’t metabolize it like sugar though so it doesn’t have all the carbs and calories associated with sugar.

Buy one buy at full price and you can save 25% on a second box! Each box contains 10 bars but trust us, they won’t last long when you realize how delicious they are.

• Wondering what’s coming to Netflix in June 2020? You’re not alone, and the good news is that there is a ton of great original content set to premiere next month on everyone’s favorite streaming service.
• From movies and stand-up comedy specials to full seasons of wildly popular series and animated shows, there’s definitely something for everyone coming to Netflix in June.
• We’ve already covered the full calendar of Netflix releases in June 2020, so now it’s time to focus specifically on all the new original shows and movies premiering next month.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Are you worried that you’ve been in coronavirus lockdown so long that you’ll soon run out of new movies and shows to watch? Don’t worry, because Netflix definitely has you covered. The past few months have been fantastic in terms of new additions to Netflix’s ever-expanding catalog of content, and June 2020 is going to be more of the same.

We already shared Netflix’s full schedule of June 2020 additions including third-party movies and shows, and you can see the entire schedule right here. There are some particularly good movies from other studios set to hit Netflix right away on June 1st, including fan favorites like Clueless, The Silence of the Lambs, V for Vendetta, and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Lady Bird arrives a couple of days later on June 3rd, and there are plenty more movies and shows from various studios spread throughout the month.

That’s all great, but everyone knows that Netflix’s original content is what people really want to see. That’s why we’ve stripped out all the fluff in this post and zeroed in solely on Netflix’s new original movies and series coming in June 2020.

The action kicks off early next month with the final seasons of two different shows that are both very popular. The first is Fuller House, which concludes with its farewell season on June 2nd. Then the fourth and final season of the controversial hit series 13 Reasons Why will be released a few days later on June 5th. Season 5 of Queer Eye also premieres on June 5th, and the weekly show Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj returns two days later on the 7th.

A new season of F is for Family also hits Netflix in June along with Pokémon Journeys: The Series making its debut on the same day. You can also look forward to Marcella season 3, The Order season 2, and the second season of the hit show The Politician. If you’re a fan of stand-up, Jo Koy, Eric Andre, and George Lopez all have specials debuting in June. Check out all that and more below, along with links where available so you can watch the trailers. And if you want to make sure you haven’t missed anything big that’s out this month, here’s the full schedule of Netflix May 2020 original releases.

• So many people are looking for N95 masks for sale in light of the fact that the CDC recommends we all should wear face masks anytime we leave our homes.
• Of course, the CDC also says we shouldn’t buy N95 face masks because hospital workers and other people on the front lines of the fight against the novel coronavirus have a much greater need.
• If you want extra protection without buying price-gouged N95 masks and taking resources away from hospitals, Amazon has KN95 face masks in stock right now.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

When it comes to combating the spread of the novel coronavirus, Jointown 3-layer face masks are still by far the most popular option among our readers. Thousands and thousands of people buy them each week because we all know that the novel coronavirus isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Actually, the very fact that states are beginning to reopen nonessential businesses far too soon basically guarantees that the inevitable coronavirus second wave will come sooner than expected. Just look at what’s happening in Texas right now and you’ll see that it’s unavoidable.

If you want to do your part to slow the spread of COVID-19 even as economies reopen, you need to do three things. First, as the CDC says right on its website, wear a mask every single time you go out of your home for any reason. Second, practice strict social distancing. And third, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer anytime you touch a surface in public. That’s it — if everyone would just do those three simple things, some studies believe the spread of the new coronavirus would be reduced by a whopping 80%.

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

The Jointown face masks we mentioned above do a fine job of protecting you as long as you also practice social distancing and good hygiene. They’re also wonderfully inexpensive at just 70¢ per mask, so you should definitely stock up on a few boxes while they’re in stock. There are some higher-risk situations where you want a bit more protection though. For example, when you go shopping in a grocery store, take public transportation, or fly on an airplane. That’s why it’s also a very good idea to stock up on some KN95 face masks that you can use in those situations, but KN95 masks are much more difficult to come by these days.

10PCS Upgraded 6-Layer Protection, Mouth Cover,Suitable for Adult,US Stock: $31.99 ($3.20 / mask)

There’s no question that they’ll sell out soon, but Athphy KN95 face masks are somehow back in stock right now at Amazon. It has been about a month since we last saw them and they flew off the shelves back then. These face masks feature four layers of protection and are rated to filter 95% or more of microscopic airborne particles out of the air we breathe. You absolutely still need to practice strict social distancing and good hygiene, but these masks are great for some added peace of mind in higher-risk situations.

Athphy KN95 face masks are priced at $3.20 each right now on Amazon when you buy a box of 20, and they’re in stock so they’ll be delivered next week. Shipping times will start to slip very quickly now that the cat’s out of the bag though, so order a box or two now before they inevitably sell out.

10PCS Upgraded 6-Layer Protection, Mouth Cover,Suitable for Adult,US Stock: $31.99 ($3.20 / mask)

UPDATE: The masks we initially linked are now sold out, but a popular alternative is back in stock at an even lower price with faster shipping!

Google is struggling to sell Pixel phones, but the new Pixel phones are highly anticipated devices every year. The Pixel is the closest thing Android has to iPhone, especially the high-end models that pack flagship specs and run the latest operating system release. However, this year’s new Pixels have been delayed, a leaker said. The release dates of both the Pixel 4a and the Pixel 5 have been pushed back significantly, and the novel coronavirus health crisis is the obvious explanation for the move. The evolution of the pandemic is expected to impact the iPhone 12 launch as well and might hurt other new products supposed to launch this year, including the Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles.

• There’s a secret bumblebee trick that can trigger plants to flower a month earlier than they would otherwise.
• Researchers in Switzerland discovered that when bumblebees chew a specific pattern into the leaves of a plant, it flowers up to 30 days early.
• Attempts to replicate the phenomenon by damaging the plants in a similar manner didn’t work.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Bumblebees are pretty cool. They’re not nasty like wasps, and while they can sting if they are threatened, they’re usually content to just live their lives and avoid humans as much as possible. Now, a new study published in Science reveals a secret trick that bumblebees use to fool plants into flowering early. This makes them even cooler.

The research, which was conducted by scientists in Switzerland, blows the lid off of a technique the bees use when pollen is scarce. It seems all they have to do is let the plants know they’re waiting, and they do that by chewing a very specific pattern into the leaves.
