FDA allows new coronavirus testing tech before it gets emergency approval
[ad_1] There’s currently just one emergency authorization for COVID-19 in use by the CDC and public health labs, the FDA added.

Once ready, the researchers trained their AI on 2,500 molecules […]
Samsung temporarily shuts down phone factory following coronavirus case

Strava now syncs workout data from your Apple Watch
[ad_1] It’s a two-way connection as well. You can automatically send any Strava activities to Health, so you don’t have to worry if you leave your Apple Watch at home.
