Hasta La Gadget!

Democrats in Congress and in several states see Trump as actually fomenting violent rebellion.

In a new poll, nine in 10 Americans said they were making an effort to stay home this month.

If there’s one piece of advice I can pass on to people who are working from home for the first time, it is this: caffeine is key. Working from home effectively requires more discipline than most might realize. You’re surrounded by comfort—your bed, your couch, your things, your kitchen—and infinite distractions from…

The problem with the COVID-19 virus is that there is no known cure. Instead, what doctors can do at the moment is to simply address the problems as they appear, meaning that if the person has a fever, doctors will need to treat the fever. If the patient has a cough, they’ll need to treat the cough.

What’s dangerous is the difficulty in breathing symptoms, in which hospitals might sometimes need to put patients on a ventilator. However, thanks to an experimental drug called remdesivir, it appears to be showing promising signs in dealing with respiratory problems. Patients who took part in the clinical trial of the drug appear to be recovering faster than normal.

Those who took part in the trial had respiratory issues and after being given the experimental drug, were able to leave the hospital less than a week. However, it wasn’t a complete success as two patients part of the trial did die, but it is still promising all the same. The drug was initially developed to fight Ebola but had little success, but it seems that it has found a new life fighting against the COVID-19 virus.

This is not the first time we’re hearing about “old” drugs being repurposed for the coronavirus. Recently, it was found that an arthritis medication was also proving effective, and not too long ago, a drug meant to treat erectile dysfunction also proved promising. Researchers are also looking into a vaccine used to treat tuberculosis as another way to fight the COVID-19 virus.

Note that none of these discoveries are a surefire cure to the disease, but they are at the very least giving doctors alternatives to treat patients who might otherwise not be responding well to current treatments.

Every year for the past several years, the San Diego Comic-Con is an event that many people look forward to. This is because the event usually brings about brand new announcements by movie studios for upcoming movies, new toys, new comics, and basically just a ton of fun and geeky stuff.

Unfortunately if you were hoping to attend the event this year, that will no longer be possible due to the coronavirus outbreak which has forced the 2020 San Diego Comic-Con to be cancelled.

In a statement made by the organizers of the event, “Recognizing that countless attendees save and plan for its conventions each year, and how many exhibitors and stakeholders rely upon its events for a major portion of their livelihood, they had hoped to delay this decision in anticipation that COVID-19 concerns might lessen by summer. Continuous monitoring of health advisories and recent statements by the Governor of California have made it clear that it would not be safe to move forward with plans for this year.”

The San Diego Comic-Con is not the first major event to be cancelled. Earlier this year, MWC 2020 had also been cancelled, and other major events scheduled for this year have also since been cancelled. This includes E3 2020, Google I/O 2020, and it also seems that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics might be postponed.

Some companies, such as Apple, will be pushing ahead with their events like WWDC 2020, except that they will be hosting it in an online format that does not require a crowd to gather a large space.
