"There are budget cuts and hiring freezes happening across marketing and across Google," read one message sent from a global director to employees, according to CNBC. "We, along with the rest of marketing, have been asked to cut our budget by about half for H2."
Google also started telling some interviewees already in the job pipeline that their jobs have been cut, according to a source speaking to Business Insider.

The Best Budget TVs Will Take Binge-Watching to the Next Level | GQ
Once upon a time, hunting for the best budget TVs was a road to ruin. Flipping through the catalog of Best Buy or Circuit City (RIP) for anything under $500 was sure to yield models with screens smaller than a hardback book cover or the resolution of a Game Boy. But now, even in our pandemic hellscape, there is something to be thankful for: cheap, good TVs.
TCL was one of the first company's to crack the budget TV game and consistently make high value TVs that offer excellent picture quality at a remarkably low price. This set, from the company's 2019 line, is one of the cheapest with QLED technology. It uses smaller LEDs than conventional LED TVs to get a more vibrant, color-accurate picture.

CDC does not have any evidence to suggest that imported animals or animal products pose a risk for spreading COVID-19 in the United States.
At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals, including pets and service animals, can spread COVID-19. As with any animal introduced to a new environment, animals recently imported should be observed daily for signs of illness. If an animal becomes ill, the animal should be examined by a veterinarian. Call your local veterinary clinic before bringing the animal into the clinic and let them know that the animal was recently imported from another country.
