- Seeking information on the Coronavirus? It's found in the Featured section on the front page.
- National Awkward Moments Day. This is an annual day that every person can relate. We have all had our awkward moments from time to time. They are a part of life; they just happen.
- Wipes clog pipes. Now that disinfectant wipes are in high demand, officials are asking the public to keep one thing in mind as they take precautions against the new coronavirus: If you are using any type of wipe — whether or not it says ‘flushable’ — do not flush them down the toilet. Products that seem safe to flush, like personal care wipes, dental floss, and paper towels don’t easily dissolve and can clog household plumbing… Officials in stats across the U.S. have shared this easy-to-remember saying: “Wipes clog pipes.”
- Wedding rings and COVID-19. You probably know the basics of proper hand-washing by now: At least 20 seconds, and scrub those fingertips, not just your palms. But what about your wedding ring or wristwatch? Should you take those off while you wash your hands? Can they carry the new coronavirus?… Public health officials have advised that properly washing your hands is one of the best ways to protect yourself and others. However, what to do about rings and other jewelry is often not addressed in these guides. Rochelle Walensky, chief of the division of infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital, told USA Today: “In a situation where we are in extraordinary measures to limit COVID-19 transmission, I think removal of rings/jewelry when washing hands — or perhaps limiting their wear altogether right now — represents a wise move forward.
- Netflix Party. You can still get together to watch and talk about your favorite shows and movies even though you are social distancing. Netflix and Google Chrome have teamed up to roll out Netflix Party. The web browser extension will allow users to stream content and chat with friends about it at the same time.

BroadwayHD has been around since 2015 and allows theater fans to enjoy their favorite Broadway musicals from the comfort of your home. The company has announced that for the rest of the month the service will be free for everyone allowing theater enthusiasts to enjoy over 300 selections.
- National Sloppy Joe Day. The Sloppy Joe is one of America’s all-time favorite hot sandwiches. Its base ingredient is often ground beef. However, others use turkey and buffalo, too. The other elements give it its flavor, though. Onions, tomato sauce, brown sugar, cola or maple syrup to sweeten it and seasonings to spice it – and of course, any secret ingredient families may add over the years. All of it is served up on a hamburger bun or roll. And is it ever sloppy! Be sure to grab more than one napkin!
- Drinking Bleach. While common sense would prevent most people from doing this, the fact that the warning had to be issued makes one wonder. A Virginia poison center has issued the following warning: "Drinking bleach will not prevent you from getting the coronavirus." Issued by the Blue Ridge Poison Center, the warning says bleach is "for cleaning, not drinking" -- and it can cause serious internal damage when ingested. That said, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says bleach will kill the coronavirus on frequently touched surfaces. But even then, don't use it full-strength. The CDC recommends mixing five tablespoons of bleach per gallon of water. What's the worst thing you've ingested? Do you know anyone who might actually think drinking bleach would be effective?
- Washing with cheese. A woman in Washington state has become the laughing stock of the internet after revealing she has spent the past few days mistakenly washing her hands with a block of cheese. The woman, Miley from Vancouver, thought she was doing her bit to stop the spread of coronavirus by thoroughly washing her hands with a bar of soap. Unfortunately, she instead succeeded in spreading some rather mature looking cheddar on her hands over the course of several days. Sharing her sorry tale on Reddit, Miley explained how the cheese ended up being mistaken for a bit of soap after it was left out of the fridge following a late night snack.
- Chicago Penguins run free. Well, at least somebody gets to have fun during the coronavirus outbreak. After the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago was closed to the public, keepers allowed the penguin exhibit to roam free and visit the other animals on a 'field trip. One bird, Wellington, checked out the "Amazon Rising" exhibit, while a pair of 'bonded' lovebirds named Edward and Annie snuck off to the rotunda for a date. The Aquarium's staff, who have to remain on site to provide care and treatment to the animals, have promised plenty more videos in the coming weeks.
- Delaying April 15 tax deadline. Good news for income tax procrastinators - the IRS and U.S. Treasury are extending the deadline for income tax payments by 90 days due to the coronavirus outbreak. On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced that tax filers have an extra three months to pay owed income tax up to $1 million without interest or penalties. Mnuchin still urged citizens to file their taxes by April 15th, especially if they're getting refunds back.
- Disney attendance streak: A California man’s 2,995 day streak of Disneyland visits has been ended due to Disney‘s decision to shut down their popular Anaheim, California, park in the midst of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. Jeff Reitz has made a trip to the Magic Kingdom every day for over eight years, but the shutdown abruptly and unfortunately put an end to his impressive run. The 47-year-old made it very clear that “the streak’s been ended” and that he won’t look to resume consecutive day visiting goals any longer. … Reitz said, “On the negative side, I didn’t get to chose the end. But on the positive side, I didn’t have to choose the end.”
- 1x 1,000 or $500 for longer? Republican Mitt Romney has suggested Americans need a quick influx of cash — and it’s sounding like many Republicans and Democrats in Washington agree. Millions of workers have been furloughed because of COVID-19 and Romney is suggesting every American get a $1,000 check one time. A lot of people could be helped by this and the White House is seriously considering it… Meanwhile, former presidential candidate and Democrat Kamala Harris wants each family to get $500. Sound like Romney’s idea is better, although Harris wants each household to get $500 every month during the entire COVID-19 crisis, which many think could go on for months… or longer.
- Israeli Artifact returned.A n Israeli man returned a 2,000-year-old catapult bolt to the Israel Antiquities Authority roughly 15 years after he took off with it while visiting an archaeological site in the City of David. The man told authorities he wanted to clear his conscience before the end of the world. The anonymous man didn’t return the artifact, also known as a ballista stone, directly but used a go-between, who agreed to keep his identity a secret.
Fun Fact:
In water these animals are called a “raft”. On land they are called a “waddle”.... A group of penguins #funfact
