Wow, shocker: Gun stores in at least five states where firearm dealers were supposed to shutter in April due to the coronavirus pandemic have refused to do so and likely made tens of thousands of sales, according to a report in USA Today in collaboration with the Trace.
There have been some conspiracy theories floating about regarding 5G, where some are claiming that it can contribute to health problems. More recently, some conspiracy theories are being floated where it suggests that 5G is somehow linked to the coronavirus pandemic. This has resulted in cellphone towers being set on fire in both the UK and Canada.
To make things worse, there have even been reports that claims that operators are being attacked and harassed during work as a result of these conspiracies. To that end, the Canadian government has since launched an informative website in which they attempt to provide people with more factual information about 5G.
This website will contain information meant to counter the misinformation and conspiracy theories that are out there, in hopes that maybe coming from a more official source, people will believe it instead of some random post made on social media, or a shady website. The website also reassures that 5G devices will be required to meet radio frequency exposure requirements before they can be sold in Canada.
This means that for those worried about potentially getting cancer from these radio waves, they can rest assured that there are requirements set in place that prevents devices that go over the safety limit from being sold. Conspiracy theories and misinformation will always exist, but hopefully this website will make them less believable.

Unlike gas-powered cars, electric cars rely heavily on its battery where it pulls multiple duties at keeping the lights on and also providing the range, the latter of which would have typically relied on gas for regular cars. This means that the battery in an EV is doubly as important and can be pretty expensive.
This can help contribute to the overall cost of such a vehicle, but according to a report from Reuters, it seems that Tesla has been working on a “secret battery” that will change the game. The report claims that Tesla might be developing a low-cost, but long-life battery that they might debut in its Model 3 car in China later this year.
With this cheaper battery, it is expected to help lower the cost of the entire vehicle and make it more affordable, bringing it down to prices more in-line with gas-powered cars. It will also help with the overall longevity and environmental impact of these batteries, where they can also be later reused in the electric power grid.
As Reuters notes, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk had been teasing that the company will be revealing some significant advancements they’ve made in battery technology during a “Battery Day”. This event is said to be taking place late May, so we should have more details in the coming weeks.
