Coronavirus is major problem in whole world right now.WWDC 2020 is cancelled due to coronavirusApple has announced that this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference will be held online due to the ongoing spread of the novel corona virus. Apple says the event, to start on an unspecified date in June, will feature a “completely new online experience” that includes both Apple’s traditional announcement keynote and developer sessions.The decision to move WWDC online was made due to the “current health situation,” Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller said in a statement. More details on the event will be shared in the “weeks ahead.”Google IO 2020Due to concerns around the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with health guidance from the CDC, WHO, and other health authorities, we have decided to cancel the physical Google I/O event at Shoreline Amphitheatre,” Google said in a statement. “Over the coming weeks, we will explore other ways to evolve Google I/O to best connect with and continue to build our developer community. We’ll continue to update the Google I/O website.Facebook F8 ConferenceFacebook has confirmed that it has canceled its annual F8 developers conference over growing concerns about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.More specifically, the company says it’s canceling the “in-person component,” which would have been held in San Jose, Calif. There may still be video presentations, along with live-streamed and local events, under the F8 umbrella.Mobile World Congress (MWC) by GSMAThe GSMA, the organization behind MWC, the world’s largest mobile trade show, has announced that it is officially canceling the show. MWC usually attracts more than 100,000 attendees from 200 countries to Barcelona. This year’s show was supposed to take place on February 24-27.Several publications received a statement about the cancellation. “The GSMA has cancelled MWC Barcelona 2020 because the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, make it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event,” GSMA CEO John Hoffman told Bloomberg and the Financial Times. El Diario, El País and La Vanguardia also report that the show has been canceled.NASA Moon and Mars MissionNASA has temporarily paused work on the Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion capsule that will be used for its forthcoming Artemis missions, which will ultimately return the next American man and the first American woman to the surface of the Moon. The rocket and spacecraft were undergoing production and testing activities ahead of the first Artemis mission, which had been planned for no earlier than April 2021.Facebook and twitter fight for misinformationIn an effort to disseminate trustworthy health information on COVID-19, Facebook will roll out its own coronavirus information center — a central hub where the company will collect information from sources like the CDC and WHO.Meanwhile, Twitter updated its safety policy to prohibit tweets that “could place people at a higher risk of transmitting COVID-19.” The new policy bans tweets denying expert guidance on the virus, encouraging “fake or ineffective treatments, preventions and diagnostic techniques,” as well as tweets that mislead users by pretending to be from health authorities or experts.Ola and Uber suspend shared ride options in IndiaRide-hailing giant Ola said on Friday evening that it is temporarily suspending its pool ride option, called Ola Share, in India in a bid to slow the coronavirus pandemic by encouraging social distancing. [Updated March 21: In a statement on Saturday morning (local time), Uber said it was suspending its shared rides, Uber Pool, in India as well.]YouTube launches dedicated ‘COVID-19 news’ panel in 16 countriesTo help you get the most up-to-date information on the COVID-19 coronavirus, YouTube has now launched a dedicated news shelf in 16 countries. A tweet from the YouTuber Insider account confirmed the new decision, which is likely to help curb the spread of misinformation and “fake news” on the spread of the highly contagious virus. YouTube didn’t specify which 16 countries will have access to the new panel but confirmed that it will expand to more countries over the coming days and weeks.Google Maps adds COVID-19 warning message when searching for medical locationsNow, Google Maps is providing a useful COVID-19 warning any time users search for medical locations.A new warning message is appearing on medical related searches and search listings on Google Maps. This message is brief, but encourages users who are searching for any sort of medical help to call their doctor before visiting the office if they suspect they are infected with COVID-19.Clicking on that warning message brings users to the official CDC direction on the matter. As that website details, calling doctors before visiting an office is a precaution to “help the office protect themselves and other patients.” This makes sense, of course, as the virus is so highly infectious.YouTube will reduce video qualityAs millions of people are now staying at home to curb the spread of the highly infectious COVID-19 outbreak, the internet is being pushed to its limits. To help ease the strain on networks, YouTube will reduce the quality at which videos stream in Europe.Reuters reports that Google will be switching default quality settings on YouTube in Europe to standard definition rather than HD quality. This is only a move by default, though, as users will still be able to turn the quality up after the video has started playing if they choose to do so.Google launches COVID-19 pageGoogle says coronavirus has become its biggest search topic by a country mile this year, and to continue its efforts to harness that attention in the best possible way, late on Friday the company launched a new information portal dedicated to the pandemic as well as an improved search experience for desktop and mobile.The search experience, Google says, was updated in response to “people’s information needs expanding,” while the new information portal (Just search “coronavirus” on google) also provides the basic, most useful information (for example around symptoms), plus a lot of links and on-site options to explore further.BCCI suspends IPL 2020The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to suspend IPL 2020 till 15th April 2020, as a precautionary measure against the ongoing Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) situation.

5 fun things to do at home during this lockdown
If you’re sitting there asking yourself what day it is and you’re unable to remember the last time you left the house, you’re likely in need of some new ideas to try at home.Don’t go stir crazy, and don’t further cement that permanent spot in your couch while binge-watching all the popular shows right now on Netflix. There’s more to life than that.1) Start or perfect a hobbyIs there a craft project you’ve been meaning to tackle, or a professional camera lying around collecting dust? You are home with plenty of time on your hands, so now is the time to either pick up that forgotten hobby or start a new one.If you’ve been wanting to learn how to play an instrument, you could order one online and find how-to videos on YouTube.2) Take an online classUniversities and colleges around the world have online classes you could take. And now you have the time. It’s a win-win scenario for all.That online class could also include you learning a new language. Give Duolingo or a similar app a try. You’ll be ready for an international vacation by the time this lockdown is lifted.3) Virtual happy hour with friendsNow is not the time to hole up and be antisocial. Our mental health still needs to be social with others, you might just have to do it virtually.Get a group chat going or better yet have a virtual happy hour with friends. Pour yourself a glass of your favorite adult beverage and hop on a Zoom call with your besties.This connection will likely bring out all the laughs, and laughter is some of the best medicine right now.4) Share something hopeful and positiveIt can be difficult to deal with all the news right now. Why not share something positive, like a video of people showing solidarity during this pandemic or a good news story that you found online?You can also help limit the spread of misinformation online by only sharing advice from experts and reliable sources, like the World Health Organisation. This will help stop people around you from panicking. 5) Read a variety of booksReading is a form of extended learning, so why not take this time at home to read everything from the classics to self-help books to fiction? Take turns rotating from Shakespeare to Brene Brown to J.K. Rowling. Now is a great time to actually read the books you've had on your shelf but never opened.
