The race is on to find a cure, treatment, and vaccine for the coronavirus pandemic that is still very much plaguing the entire world. This is because without such options, life will never be able to fully return to normal, but there is good news as it appears that separate groups of researchers seem to be having some luck in developing antibodies that show promising signs.

These research teams come from various parts of the world, such as the Netherlands, Israel,and Japan. The researchers were successful in developing strong antibodies that appear under lab conditions, seem to be capable of neutralizing the virus. However, like we said, these are under lab conditions which means that it is unclear how it will work in humans and if it will be just as effective.

Speaking to The Guardian, researcher Berend-Jan Bosch from Utrecht University said, “Such a neutralizing antibody has potential to alter the course of infection in the infected host, support virus clearance or protect an uninfected individual that is exposed to the virus.” Needless to say that so far all these drugs will have a ton of hurdles to overcome before they can even be considered effective and safe for the masses, so we could be in for a wait.

In the meantime, other companies are working on vaccines, such as Moderna who are hoping to move onto the second phase of its trials. There are also some who are floating more controversial ideas, such as deliberately infecting healthy hosts with the virus to help speed up these trials.

Besides the current cases, 23 members of the Secret Service have recovered from COVID-19.

“I am not disgruntled,” whistleblower Rick Bright said. “I am frustrated at a lack of leadership.”

When Apple introduced the iPhone XR, it came with a single camera that made up for the lack of a second lens by using software to achieve similar effects and results. Apple later upgraded this camera in the iPhone 11, where the Pro and Pro Max models came with triple cameras, but the base model was upgraded to two.

Now it looks like the iPhone 12 could be getting a similar upgrade, where according to renders shared on YouTube by Pigtou that are based on leaked CAD drawings, it seems that the base iPhone 12 model could be getting an upgrade from a dual camera setup to a triple camera setup. This does not mean that the Pro and Pro Max models will get a quad camera setup, but it could mean that in terms of optics, the base model could finally offer up similar performance.

For those who might be unfamiliar with Apple’s releases, for the past few years, the company has released a mix of iPhones with OLED and LCD screens. The base (and cheaper) model usually comes with an LCD screen and other compromises that helps make it cheaper. To date this is mostly in the camera department, but the latest leak suggests that things could be different this year.

Apple has had quite a lot of success with the iPhone XR and the iPhone 11, so unless the company plans on raising the prices of the iPhone 12’s base model, we expect that trend to continue.

The early days of social media were pretty much its glory days, where it was relatively new and people who joined it were pretty much who they said they were. These days, it’s not uncommon to receive spam messages from bot and fake accounts, and this is a problem that has similarly plagued the likes of dating apps like Tinder.

If you’re hoping to avoid getting catfished on Tinder, you might be interested to learn that Tinder’s parent company, Match Group, has announced that the app will soon come with the ability for in-app video chats. This means that users will actually be able to see each other in real-time, which does potentially reduce the risk of being catfished by someone pretending to be someone else.

Of course this isn’t exactly a foolproof system, but if someone if refusing to hop on a quick video call before you meet up, that could be a red flag that could give you some pause. On the social aspect side, it makes sense too as some users might be uncomfortable giving out more information about themselves and would prefer to keep their communication within Tinder itself.

According to Match Group, the feature should be rolled out in Q2 2020, so expect it to debut in the coming weeks or months. With social distancing measures still being kept in place, this might actually be a pretty good idea.
