Everyone said this one thing would cause a massive coronavirus surge – but it hasn’t so far

Image
This past summer, experts cautioned that opening schools back up would cause a massive spike in coronavirus infections. With September winding down, we've seen conflicting evidence as to the impact schools reopenings have had on coronavirus infections. While young children typically don't experience severe coronavirus symptoms, studies show that children as young as 10 can transmit it to adults. With the number of coronavirus deaths now above 200,000, experts warn that we might see a huge increase in new infections -- and associated deaths -- over the next few months. The rationale behind this dire projection can be traced back to the fact that colder weather is on the horizon and flu season is right around the corner. What's more, with schools now in full swing, experts have been warning that children -- who typically do not endure severe coronavirus symptoms -- could likely spread the virus to their parents, teachers, and the extended community. Having said that,

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin says any bipartisan stimulus deal will include more $1,200 direct payments for Americans

Image
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin speaks at a White House press conference. Reuters Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said any bipartisan stimulus agreement would include another round of $1,200 checks for Americans. "We have reached an agreement that if there is a deal, there are direct payments similar to last time that are in the package," he said of talks with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Millions of $1,200 federal checks were sent to individuals earlier this spring. A stimulus deal would likely carry a price tag that's $1.5 trillion or above, and its unclear that Senate Republicans long resistant to spending would back a plan of that size. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Thursday evening that any stimulus agreement will contain a second round of $1,200 direct payments to American taxpayers. In an interview on Fox Business, Mnuchin reiterated the Trump administration's opposition to the $2.2 tr

Google says the Pixel’s Soli radar and Motion Sense will return

Image
Image: Google Google’s $799 Pixel 4 had built-in radar. The new $699 Pixel 5 does not — it ditches the sensor-laden forehead of its predecessor entirely in favor of thinner bezels and a hole-punch camera, like the $349 Pixel 4a before it. The result is more screen, but Google’s “Motion Sense” gestures and its answer to Apple’s Face ID are totally gone. But Google hardware boss Rick Osterloh tells The Verge that the Project Soli radar and gestures will return. “They’ll be used in the future,” he says. They were just too expensive for the phone that Google wanted to build this time. (He didn’t say whether they’d appear in a new phone, specifically; a recent FCC filing suggests they might come to a new Nest thermostat as well.) And let’s not get started on Pixel 4 battery life I doubt buyers of the Pixel 5 will really miss Google’s gimmicky air gestures, which never really advanced the way Google originally teased ; not that they had time to, since Google axed the product aft

The just-announced Pixel 5 has somehow already been unboxed

Image
The Pixel 5, Google’s latest Android flagship, was just announced today, and someone on YouTube has already posted an unboxing video of the new device ahead of its release ( via 9to5Google ). What’s in the box is fairly standard — there’s the phone itself, as well as a charger, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A converter. The YouTube user who has the phone, who goes by the name Sergiu, does power it on, giving us a look at the phone’s 6-inch 2340 x 1080 OLED screen and 8-megapixel hole-punch selfie camera. Sergiu doesn’t use the phone all that much in the video, though, sticking mostly to the phone’s home screen. Sergiu also zooms in on back of the Pixel 5, showing the phone’s aluminum back, fingerprint sensor, and square camera housing. If you’ve seen the camera housing on the Pixel 4 and 4 XL, the Pixel 5’s looks pretty similar, though the Pixel 5 has a 16MP ultrawide camera instead of the 16MP telephoto camera found on the Pixel 4 and 4 XL. Overall, there’s nothing t

This ancient skull was operated on, but not by a skilled surgeon

Image
An ancient skull found in a cave in Spain reveals evidence of ancient surgery attempts. The skull has a large dent that is partially healed, indicating an attempt at brain surgery that was halted. The skulls and other material suggest possible sacrificial intent. Modern medical techniques have made brain surgery much safer than it ever has been in the past, but the practice of venturing into a person's skull in the hopes of fixing something dates back to our ancient ancestors. A recent discovery in a cave system in Spain includes the remains of one individual who was the subject of one such operation that apparently failed. The cave has been a hot spot for archaeological finds in the past, and researchers uncovered portions of the remains of at least two individuals that lived as far back as 4800 B.C., as well as the remains of a juvenile goat and some stone tools.

Next debate, we ought to hand the job of moderator over to a mother. Moms are used to dealing with tantrums and bullies.

Image
Moderator Chris Wallace tried to keep order during the debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Jim Watson/AFP via Getty Images The first 2020 presidential debate was a chaotic mess filled with yelling, constant interruptions, and unintelligible cross-talk. Melissa Petro, a New York-based freelance writer with two small children, says that next time around, we should give the job of moderator to a mother — "assuming there's one out there with some room on her plate." Mothers know how to confront bullies, institute moral behavior in others, and lead by example, she writes. We need a grown-up in the room — and studies show that women's participation in peace negotiations leads to more successful outcomes. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .

This is the moment from the debate everyone will be talking about tomorrow

Image
The Trump vs Biden debate tonight, the first of the 2020 presidential election campaign, was dominated by one tense, firey exchange after another between both men. At one point, Biden got so upset by President Trump's constant interruptions that he snapped: "Will you shut up, man?" The moment instantly went viral online, dominating discussion online about this first presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio. The Trump vs Biden showdown tonight -- in the form of 2020's first presidential debate on the campus of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio -- saw fireworks early between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden . It arguably made, in fact, for an uncomfortable viewing experience, with both men talking over each other, cutting each other off, and snipping at the other while they responded to queries from moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News . But there was one moment that the millions of people watching at home focused on early, espe

Meet the 'K-shaped' recession, where professional workers are largely fine and everyone else is doing awful

Michael Nagle/Xinhua/Getty Images The discussion of "K-shaped recovery" came up in Tuesday's night's presidential debate .  The "K-Shape" suggests how the wealthy are recovering and the lower-earning are not. As in: Industries like technology, retail, and software services have largely recovered and begun rehiring, while travel, entertainment, hospitality, and food services have continued to decline past March levels. The result is that low-wage jobs like restaurant staff, transportation workers, and cleaners are least likely to come back . Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .

Biden and Trump clash over filling Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat at the first presidential debate

"I'm not elected for three years, I'm elected for four years."  Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . Democratic presidential nominee Joe Bid
