Wednesday’s roundup of the best daily deals on the web is highlighted by one deal in particular that comes as a huge surprise. Despite being the best-selling face masks on Amazon’s entire site at the low price of $0.78 per mask, Jointown 3-layer face masks just dropped to $0.70 per mask! That makes them $0.10 cheaper per mask than any comparable alternative, and you’d have to be crazy not to stock up on a few boxes right now. Remember, the CDC recommends that we all wear face masks like these anytime we leave our homes, and that recommendation will remain in place for the rest of the year — at least.

Other top daily deals today include alternative 3-layer face masks for when those sell out, even thicker 4-layer face masks that are back in stock, Amazon’s best-selling hand sanitizer for $4.60 per bottle, AirPods Pro at a new all-time low price, SoundPEATS true wireless earbuds for just $19.59 with the coupon code LKXEGOJO, best-selling Alexa smart plugs for $4.50 each with coupon code 40BCOO61, the Roku Premiere with 4K and HDR support for $29.99, 100-count bottles of popular caffeine pills for $6.39 each (Prime members only), a huge 25,800 mAh portable charger for just $19.21 (also for Prime members only), the greatest Fire TV Stick accessory you’ve ever seen for $21.99, $60 off the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid that turns any 6-quart Instant Pot into an air fryer and dehydrator, and more.

Scary coronavirus experiment shows how easily the virus spreads in restaurants

%name Scary coronavirus experiment shows how easily the virus spreads in restaurants by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • A new experiment from Japan shows how easily and comprehensively the novel coronavirus can quickly spread throughout restaurants, which are among the businesses that states and cities are starting to cautiously open up in this first wave of reopening the economy.
  • The experiment, detailed below, uses paint on the hand of one of the participants as a stand-in for the virus that ends up being transferred almost everywhere in the restaurant.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

As states and cities around the world start to gradually reopen their economies during this first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, there are some pretty uniform approaches being pursued. Things like encouraging (or mandating) guests to wear masks, to socially distance, and to remove tables and chairs. However, we’re also starting to learn more about what airflow inside a restaurant does to the chances that the COVID-19 virus will spread.

And NHK, Japan’s public broadcasting organization, has just presented the results of an experiment showing how easily the virus can spread inside a restaurant, with results that might put some of you off of going back into a restaurant anytime soon.

Get Amazon’s best-selling hand sanitizer before it sells out

%name Get Amazon’s best selling hand sanitizer before it sells out by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Stop whatever you’re doing right now and visit the CDC’s coronavirus page to make sure that you’re following all of the guidelines in order to keep you and your family safe. That means you need to wear a face mask anytime you leave your house for any reason at all, whether it’s to go to the grocery store or just to take a walk around town. You don’t need a medical-grade N95 respirator since you’ll also be practicing social distancing so you won’t come in close contact with others. All you need according to the CDC is a simple cloth face covering, which is more than good enough to do the job when combined with strict social distancing and good hygiene.

Plenty of people use things like scarves or they make their own masks using DIY instructions found online, but Amazon’s best-selling face masks are finally back in stock right now and they only cost $0.70 each. There’s no telling how much longer they’ll stay in stock, of course, so definitely order a box or three while you still can. But do you know what’s even rarer than face masks to see on Amazon these days? Hand sanitizer — and it’s somehow back in stock right now and ready to ship!

Hurry and you can pick up a 5-pack of BushKlawz 75% Alcohol Instant Hand Sanitizer for $22.99, which is actually a pretty decent price these days. This sanitizer came from out of nowhere and it’s definitely going to sell out fast, so hurry or you’ll miss this rare opportunity. It has 75% ethyl alcohol which is even more than the recommended amount, so you can be certain it’ll kill off all the bacteria and viruses that might be on your hands.

BushKlawz Eco Finest 5 Pack of 2 oz Rinse Free 75% Alcohol Instant Hand Sanitizer (5x Pack of 2…: $22.99 ($4.60 per 2 oz. bottle)

In addition to those 2-ounce bottles, you’ll find 8-ounce spray bottles of Zatural Waterless Hand Cleaner in stock and 2-packs are only $22.99 right now. They ship quickly compared to other options and they also have moisturizers mixed in so you don’t have to worry about drying out your hands. This hand sanitizer is a 62% ethyl alcohol mix, so it’s right in line with the CDC’s recommendations.

8-ounce bottles of Natural Concepts Hand Sanitizer Gel are also available in 6-packs for $25.99 and chance, which works out to $4.33 per bottle. This sanitizer is 65% ethyl alcohol, which is once again even stronger than the recommended formulation for killing bacteria and viruses, including coronavirus.

The top 10 shows everyone’s binge-watching this week on TV and Netflix

%name The top 10 shows everyone’s binge watching this week on TV and Netflix by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Even as nonessential businesses begin to reopen in many states across the country, responsible people are still spending most of their time indoors at home.
  • That means people are still streaming far more movies and shows than they normally do, and they’re also watching much more TV than usual.
  • If you’ve run through most of the shows on your list and you’re trying to figure out what to watch next, seeing the shows everyone is binge-watching most right now could be a good place to start.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

I remember back in January at one point I opened the app I use to track TV shows and thought to myself, “how am I ever going to find the time to catch up on all these series I’ve been missing?” There were some shows on the list that I had been meaning to check out for years but never got around to, like FX’s Atlanta, for example. Then, the novel coronavirus pandemic swept the world and needless to say, the list of shows I need to catch up on is significantly shorter than it was back in January. On a related note, if you haven’t yet watched it, Atlanta is fantastic.

Many people are in the same boat right now. Sheltering in place in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 has meant that people are streaming far more content than ever and watching far more television than they normally do. That might mean catching new content at times, but it also likely means catching up on all the movies and shows you had been meaning to see but never got around to. And now that we’ve been in lockdown for nearly 2 months, there’s a good chance you’ve checked all the important titles off your list and you’re now looking for something else to watch. If that’s the case, TV Time’s weekly list of the top 10 most binge-watched shows is the perfect place to start.

So many coronavirus face masks are in stock on this special Amazon page

%name So many coronavirus face masks are in stock on this special Amazon page by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Make your way to the coronavirus page on the CDC’s website and you’ll see the following important recommendation: “cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.” In other words, you need to protect your face with a mask anytime you leave your house for any reason, whether it’s to do something high-risk like go grocery shopping or low-risk like take a walk in the park. Also of note, there’s one more line from the CDC’s coronavirus page that everyone should take note of: “Do NOT use a face mask meant for a healthcare worker.”

Any cloth face covering will help protect you from the novel coronavirus as long as you also practice strict social distancing and good hygiene, which means using soap or hand sanitizer (which is back in stock at Amazon) to clean your hands anytime to touch a surface in public. Beyond that, it will protect other people around you in case you’re infected with COVID-19. This is crucial, but it doesn’t mean you should go buying up N95 face masks meant for healthcare workers and first responders. There’s a huge shortage of medical-grade masks right now, and using masks that are meant for people who are constantly at risk is shameful and selfish. That’s especially true since there are so many different options right now on Amazon that are in stock and ready to ship soon.

Face Masks and Protective Face Covers On Amazon: $8.99+

Amazon now has a special face mask page on its site that is dedicated solely to face masks and other protective covers. You’ll find plenty of different options there that range from surgical-style masks to various cloth covers. If you’d rather not browse through them all, we totally understand and we’re here to help. That’s why we’ve rounded up the three best-selling face masks on Amazon right now.

First, 3-Layer Face Masks From Jointown are the single best selling masks on Amazon right now. These are great three-layer masks that do a much better job of protecting you and those around you than a bandana or most homemade masks. They’re available right now for $34.99 per box of 50, which works out to just $0.70 per mask.

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

Next up, we have similar Pacli 3-Ply Face Masks. These are also top-sellers on Amazon right now and they do just as good a job as Jointown’s masks. 50-packs are available right now for $39.99, which works out to just $0.80 per mask. That makes them a tiny bit more expensive than the top-seller, but they’re a fantastic options if Jointown’s masks sell out.

Face Mask, Pack of 50: $39.99 ($0.80 / Mask)

Last but certainly not least, we have the Annuk Thick 4-Ply Face Shield. These masks are much thicker and more rigid than the first two options and they filter smaller particles as well. They’re also more expensive, but it’s not a bad idea to keep a few around for special circumstances like if you have to go to the hospital or a doctor’s office.

Samsung will soon launch a Galaxy Fold that you can actually afford

%name Samsung will soon launch a Galaxy Fold that you can actually afford by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Samsung is rumored to launch a Galaxy Fold Special Edition version in July that will cost around $1,099.
  • The phone will have the same design as the original handset, as Samsung is looking to clear out inventory before the launch of the Fold 2.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The original Galaxy Fold was both a huge accomplishment and a huge disaster for Samsung. The foldable phone has been in the works for years, and Samsung finally managed to launch a commercial version of it. Sadly, the original Fold turned out to have a few design flaws that somehow weren’t caught during testing. Early reviewers forced Samsung to postpone the Fold’s launch, and the phone hit stores last September, five months later than expected. We told you a bunch of times during that whole ordeal that you shouldn’t pay $2,000 for a phone whose durability wasn’t guaranteed, and nothing changed since then. Samsung hasn’t given p on the Fold series and plans to launch a second-generation device later this year, likely alongside the Galaxy Note 20 series. A new rumor says that a special edition Fold is also coming this July, a phone that will cost just $1,099. While that price is a lot more wallet-friendly, you might still want to steer clear of the first-gen Fold designs.

Sony says PS5 release won’t be delayed

%name Sony says PS5 release won’t be delayed by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Sony said in a new earnings and guidance report that the release of the PlayStation 5 is still on track for the holiday season.
  • The company acknowledged that the novel coronavirus posed various challenges to PS5 development, but the launch plans have not been altered.
  • Sony did not reveal any actual details about the launch, so the PS5’s price and release date are secrets that will be addressed at a later time.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The PlayStation 5 is one of the hottest products of the year, and Sony just confirmed that it plans to launch the new console on schedule. Like the Xbox Series X, the PS5 is due in holiday season 2020, and Sony hasn’t revealed an actual release date. But the Japanese giant said in a recent earnings report that the plans to launch the gaming rig are still in place, despite the novel coronavirus health crisis that altered every aspect of life in the past few months.

Next coronavirus stimulus bill could give up to $6,000 to households

%name Next coronavirus stimulus bill could give up to $6,000 to households by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • The $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief legislation Congress passed at the end of March, which provided money for direct stimulus payments to most Americans, was the biggest emergency relief measure passed in US history.
  • On Tuesday, the Democrats in the House proposed an even bigger one, this time adding money for an additional round of coronavirus stimulus payments — up to $6,000 for households.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Millions of Americans are still waiting to receive their first coronavirus stimulus payment, supported by funding from a $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill Congress passed at the end of March, but Congress is already moving on and prepping another massive stimulus package. Chockablock full of aid like almost $1 trillion for state and local governments, the highlight of this new bill — proposed by House Democrats Tuesday ahead of a planned vote on Friday — will be a new round of direct cash payments to Americans, including $1,200 to individuals and as much as $6,000 for households.

Other major components of this new emergency relief include $175 billion that would help Americans with rent, mortgage, and utility payments; $75 billion to support coronavirus testing and contract-tracing, to help put the economy on more solid footing as more states “reopen”; and around $200 billion designated as “hazard pay” for essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic.

This ultra-hot exoplanet has yellow skies and iron rain

%name This ultra hot exoplanet has yellow skies and iron rain by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Exoplanet WASP-79b is a massive gas giant with incredibly hot atmospheric temperatures.
  • Its atmosphere isn’t capable of scattering like in the way that Earth’s atmosphere does, so the daytime skies would look yellow instead of blue.
  • Like other hot Jupiter exoplanets, it’s thought that WASP-19b has iron rain due to its heat.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Exoplanets come in many different varieties. Some are frigid and icy, while others are rocky and warm, and some, like WASP-79b, are just plain weird. WASP-79b orbits a star that sits roughly 780 light-years from Earth. In space, that’s a relatively short distance, and our proximity to the planet and its host star has allowed scientists to get a pretty good idea of what the world has to offer.

There are a number of things that make WASP-79b special. For starters, it’s absolutely massive and ranks high on the list of the largest exoplanets we know about. It’s also insanely hot, orbiting so close to its star that its atmosphere is a steamy 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Oh, and did I mention the iron rain?
