| GameStop will temporarily close all storefronts to customers Posted: 21 Mar 2020 05:12 PM PDT  GameStop is temporarily closing all its US-based retail locations and moving to "delivery only" starting on March 22nd, the company announced today. It's an abrupt reversal for the company, which just a few days ago was defending its decision to keep its stores open, as an "essential" business, and was instructing staff to ignore coronavirus-related lockdowns. GameStop CEO George Sherman said in a letter to customers that it will "will temporarily stop customer access to storefronts" and would be processing orders on a "digital-only" basis. Customers can use the GameStop app or QR codes at its stores, though future purchases will be given to customers via curbside pickup at its retail stores or through e-commerce deliveries.

| Amazon to temporarily stop shipping non-essential products in Italy and France Posted: 21 Mar 2020 01:57 PM PDT  A courier wearing a respiratory mask handles an Amazon parcel in Milan, Italy. | Emanuele Cremaschi/Getty Images Amazon says it has temporarily stopped taking orders on some non-essential products on its sites in Italy (amazon.it) and France (amazon.fr) as part of its efforts to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. "As customers use e-commerce to support their social distancing efforts, we too have implemented social distancing guidance within our fulfillment centers to keep our employees safe and healthy," a spokesperson for Amazon in Italy said in an emailed statement to The Verge. Customers can still order many of these products from third-party sellers who are able to ship directly to customers, the spokesperson added. Essential products would include food and hygiene items, he said. The company says the measure will allow "fulfillment... |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:37 AM PDT  Photo by JOHANNES EISELE/AFP via Getty Images The Federal Aviation Administration briefly halted departures from New York and Philadelphia airports after a trainee at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center in Long Island tested positive for COVID-19 today. The person had not been at the facility since March 17th, and the FAA is sanitizing affected areas. As of 2:45 PM ET, the agency had lifted the ground stop order, according to the Associated Press. The Long Island center, which primarily handles high-altitude, cross-country flights, remained open. But the FAA rerouted flights "as part of a longstanding contingency plan to ensure continued operations." The FAA said in a statement that it is "working with local health officials and employee representatives to determine how... |
| CDC uses Microsoft healthcare chatbot service to create coronavirus symptom checker Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:03 AM PDT  Image by Alex Castro / The Verge The CDC has used Microsoft's Healthcare Bot service to create a COVID-19 assessment chatbot to screen Americans who may be unsure whether to seek medical care. The Coronavirus Self Checker bot asks a series of questions based on CDC guidelines about symptoms (such as shortness of breath or dizziness) and risk factors (like underlying medical conditions or exposure to someone else with the virus) and suggests next steps, including whether to self-isolate, consult with a telehealth professional, or visit an emergency room. The CDC's chatbot provides links to more information and local health department contacts, but does not have information about coronavirus testing sites. It also does not diagnose or give treatment plans other than... |
| Amazon to start paying US warehouse workers double time for all overtime hours Posted: 21 Mar 2020 09:34 AM PDT  Photo by PHILIPPE LOPEZ/AFP via Getty Images Amazon said Saturday it will raise overtime pay for workers in its US warehouses between March 15th and May 9th, Reuters reports. Instead of the standard time-and-a-half they receive now for overtime, Amazon warehouse workers in the US will receive double their hourly rate for every overtime hour worked in a given workweek, the company said. The announcement comes a day after four US senators sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos asking him to respond to questions about how the company is keeping its warehouse workers safe during the coronavirus outbreak. The senators sent the letter two days after the first US-based Amazon warehouse worker tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. Amazon warehouse workers have... |
| Greg Grunberg says there is no J.J. Abrams director’s cut of The Rise of Skywalker Posted: 21 Mar 2020 08:27 AM PDT Actor Greg Grunberg, longtime friend of director J.J. Abrams, says in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter that as far as he knows, there is no alternate edit of The Rise of Skywalker despite a persistent fan rumor to the contrary. Fans who were dissatisfied with the 2019 film latched on to a theory that Abrams was pressured by Disney to make TROS more fan-friendly, and that somewhere there was a director's cut with Abrams' "real" version of the movie. Hence, the #ReleaseTheJJCut hashtag was born. However, Grunberg told THR he doesn't think such a cut exists:

| GM is partnering with Ventec Life Systems to help increase production of ventilators Posted: 21 Mar 2020 06:37 AM PDT  Photo by Bill Pugliano/Getty Images General Motors is partnering with Ventec Life Systems to help increase production of ventilators that are needed in hospitals dealing with patients who have the novel coronavirus, the companies announced Friday. In the most severe cases of COVID-19 infection, patients need the assistance of ventilators to breathe, and there are widespread concerns that the US does not have enough ventilators to meet the coming demand. Seattle-based Ventec is one of a handful of ventilator manufacturers in the US, according to NBC News, and already has ramped up its production. Ventec CEO Chris Kiple says the company is aiming to produce 1,000 machines per month (up from its usual 150 per month), in the next 90 days, and eventually, to produce 2,000... |
| Google’s coronavirus website finally launches alongside enhanced search results Posted: 20 Mar 2020 09:01 PM PDT  Google's Covid-19 information website, at google.com/covid19 One week ago, President Donald Trump held a press conference wherein he claimed Google would be building a screening website for the coronavirus that would direct people to testing sites. As we learned in the following days, that wasn't true. Google's sister company Verily did launch such a site, but only for the Bay Area and reportedly it only offered tests to a very small number of people. Google, however, did say it would launch some sort of website and after a small delay, it's here. Alongside the website and potentially more importantly, Google will start providing more enhanced information cards for people who search for terms related to the coronavirus. There will be information tabs for symptoms, prevention, global statics, and... |
