Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

Do you love your smartphone? You smartphone loves you too, and the best example proving this is a life taking incident that took place this past Monday in Winter Garden, Florida, United States.

 Okay the story begins all like this, from the Hess gas station, in Winter Garden, Florida, Stateside, it was early morning, when a man entered the crime scene and asked the on-duty staff clerk to help him find a specific beverage. But waiting no longer the armed thief pulled out his revolver and demanded the clerk to open the safe, where the staff was reportedly unable to open the safe. Then came in another staff to the store, where he was too threatened and asked to open the safe.

 But when both the store workers efforts failed to open the safe locker, the mugger fired a gunshot when he cited the police coming. And when the emergency service workers were called to the scene, one of the worker made a note of a chest pain.



And here comes the twist, the 12 millimeters thick HTC EVO 3D smartphone retained the bullet from entering his flesh. Actually the chest pain was caused due to the high impact of the bullet shot that hit the phone that was left in the victim's chest pocket.



"I've seen individuals get shot with low-caliber handguns and I've seen it be life ending. So, for this gentleman to be as lucky as he is, it's a good day for us," said the Winter Garden Police Lt. Scott Allen.

As the stateside, Winter Garden Police department is still behind the suspect, accordingly following this breath taking incident, HTC have gifted the victim with a brand new HTC One to replace his bullet proof phone, the EVO 3D, literally. "If anybody deserves a new #HTCOne, it's this guy: http://s.htc.com/HdMPpN . Enjoy the "Glad You’re OK" care package," quoted HTC yesterday on their official Twitter account.
