| US insurance companies will cover costs of COVID-19 testing and treatment Posted: 10 Mar 2020 03:33 PM PDT  Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty Images US health insurance companies will waive copays for testing and cover the cost of treatment for the novel coronavirus, said Vice President Mike Pence during a press briefing today. Medicare and Medicaid will also cover costs without copays. The CEOs of major insurance companies, including Anthem, Cigna, Humana, and Aetna, attended a briefing at the White House today. The companies also said that there would not be surprise billing for costs associated with COVID-19, the illness caused by the new virus. Details of those policies were not available. "As the testing is expanding, we wanted to make sure the American people knew that testing was available to them and that cost would not be a barrier," Pence said. While there are more tests... |
| Anonymous secret sharing app Whisper left sensitive profile data exposed for years Posted: 10 Mar 2020 03:03 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Whisper, an anonymous secret-sharing mobile app that rose to prominence more than half a decade ago, has been inadvertently exposing sensitive information about its users for years through a public online database, according to a new report from The Washington Post. The app, while far from as popular as it was in the few years after its release in 2012, is still used by more than 30 million people a month, some of whom are under the age of 18 and share confessions about teenage sexual encounters and information related to sexual orientation. According to The Post, which was actively able to query the database in real time before Whisper took it down, a search for users who listed themselves as 15 years of age returned as many as 1.3... |
| Coronavirus fears may affect how airlines curb their carbon emissions in 2021 Posted: 10 Mar 2020 02:42 PM PDT  Photo by Vernon Yuen/NurPhoto via Getty Images Efforts to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus are changing the way people work and play — and those changes are temporarily curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Fear of the outbreaks already led to a drop in passenger demand in January, according to the industry group International Air Transport Association (IATA), which called it "just the tip of the iceberg." Airlines continue to drastically cut flights as more people decide not to fly during the outbreak. Airlines could continue to see between an 11 and 19 percent loss in global passenger revenues through the end of the year, IATA projects. That dip in travel means less pollution from planes. Aviation currently accounts for about 2 percent of global... |
| Google’s next streaming player will reportedly run Android TV and come with a remote Posted: 10 Mar 2020 02:25 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge After trying to establish the Chromecast and later Chromecast Ultra as affordable, flexible streaming devices, the company is now focused on pushing Android TV into more living rooms. According to 9to5Google, Google is currently working on a follow-up to the Chromecast Ultra. But this time, Android TV will be the software that powers it. And like its main competitors — Roku, Fire TV, and Apple TV — Google will now bundle a remote with the device. Instead of presenting customers with menus and built-in streaming apps (like Netflix) as Roku and Amazon do, the Chromecast has always relied on consumers taking the step to cast audio and video content from their mobile phones or computers to Google's streaming dongle. Apps were quick to add... |
| Epic Games Store adds a wishlist so you can track games you want to buy Posted: 10 Mar 2020 02:18 PM PDT  Photo: Epic Games The Epic Games Store now allows you to add games to a wishlist, so you can save games you are interested in buying later and eventually get notifications when they're on sale. You can add a game to your wishlist by logging into your Epic Games Store account, searching for a game, and clicking the "Add to Wishlist" button — it's the icon shaped like a heart and adjacent to the game's retail price. Epic Games says that it plans to add a feature that will email users when a game on their wishlist goes on sale. The addition of a wishlist has been a long-requested feature for the Epic Games Store, which launched a little over a year ago as a direct challenger to Valve's storefront Steam. The Fortnite developer is using various incentives to... |
| Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden campaigns cancel Ohio rallies amid coronavirus outbreak Posted: 10 Mar 2020 02:15 PM PDT  Photo by ERIC BARADAT/AFP via Getty Images The Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden campaigns have canceled events in Cleveland, Ohio Tuesday after three cases of coronavirus were confirmed in the state. Both campaigns said that they are considering whether to cancel future events as well. On Tuesday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency after the coronavirus cases were discovered and recommended against spectators attending large indoor sporting events. The Sanders and Biden campaigns responded to the news by canceling their planned events in Cleveland only one week before the state is staged to hold its Democratic primary. "Sen. Sanders would like to express his regret to the thousands of Ohioans who had planned to attend the event tonight," Mike Casca,... |
| Airbnb introduces more flexible reservation policies due to coronavirus Posted: 10 Mar 2020 01:50 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge In light of the novel coronavirus outbreak and its massive impact on the travel industry, Airbnb has tweaked its reservation policies to help hosts and guests cancel bookings without taking a loss. Until June 1st, Airbnb will waive the standard 3 percent host fee that it collects for hosts who refund more of their would-be guests' money than the Airbnb cancellation policy requires them to. Airbnb also says it will increase visibility of listings for hosts who take advantage of its new "More Flexible Reservations" tools. If you're a guest who needs to cancel a booking (again, through June 1st), you won't be charged Airbnb's 14 percent guest service fee for doing so. Guests who aren't charged the service fee will get a travel coupon worth... |
| New York Auto Show delayed to August as coronavirus spreads Posted: 10 Mar 2020 01:49 PM PDT  Photo By Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge The New York International Auto Show is the latest big event to be postponed due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. The show was supposed to open to press on April 8th and 9th and to the public from April 10th to the 19th, but organizers announced on Tuesday that they are now aiming to hold the event in August. "We are taking this extraordinary step to help protect our attendees, exhibitors and all participants from the coronavirus," Mark Schienberg, who is the president of the dealer association that runs the show, said in a statement. The news comes after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday that 173 people across the state are infected with the virus. That number that is likely to go up as the state gets more access to... |
