- National Mario Day on Mar 10 recognizes an iconic character from a popular video game. The character, known today as Mario, first appeared in 1981 in a game called Donkey Kong made by Nintendo.
- Game shows scrapping Audiences. According to production sources, as of Tuesday, the classic shows Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune will scrap their studio audience over concerns of coronavirus. There's a particularly high level of concern for those at Jeopardy since the host Alex Trebek is battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer making him highly susceptible to catching the virus. Other high concerns for both shows is the fact that a lot of their guests are from out of town and older.
- Expired plate: A Louisiana driver was pulled over for having an expired license plate — from 1997. When asked by police as to why he’s been driving around with tags from over 20 years ago, the man told the officers he’s just “been busy.” The man assured the officers that he would handle the situation “as soon as I get home.”
- Phone carries virus 9-days Did You Know Your Phone Can Carry the Coronavirus for Up to 9 Days? Yep, that’s right your phone could be carrying the coronavirus. According to a German study, the coronavirus can live on surfaces like metal, glass, or plastic for up to nine days. And of course, our phones are made of metal, glass, and plastic and are constantly in our hands and close to our faces. So it's not only a smart idea to wash your hands frequently, but it’s also important to disinfect your phone, especially if you're like most and you always have your phone in your hand. A typical disinfectant is a solution that contains 0.1% sodium hypochlorite or 62 to 71% ethanol. Basically, an alcohol pad will work.
- Clean the phone! Apple is changing its tune about whether customers should use household disinfecting wipes to clean iPhones and other glass hardware. According to an updated guide from the company, using disinfecting wipes containing Clorox or those that are soaked with isopropyl alcohol are both permissible… The announcement is a turnaround from previous guidelines by Apple which formerly advised customers that those same products could erode a special coating on the screen that reduces smudging from fingerprints. Instead, Apple is now advising its customers to stay away from more heavy-duty cleaners such as ‘aerosol sprays, bleaches, or abrasives — basically anything you might be worried about getting on your hands.

Last week, Facebook announced that it would begin “temporarily” banning the sale of medical face masks on its online marketplace in light of the public’s growing fears over coronavirus.

The face masks were being sold for anywhere from 75 cents to $1,000 apiece. -

HEPA filters are also used in hospitals to provide patients with clean air.
