\u27a2 Fifty million pints of beer are expected to go to waste if British pubs are forced to remain closed into the summer because of coronavirus. Tom Stainer, chief executive of the Campaign for Real Ale, estimates that the UK\u2019s 39,000 pubs have, on average, 15 barrels in their cellar. Most are kegs contain 11 gallons (88 pints) each. The best-before dates on pasteurised beer are usually three to four months after delivery, meaning most would go to waste if social distancing measures remain in place that long. The good news? Many breweries and distributors have offered to take back barrels at no charge once the lockdown is over.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u27a2 Doctors in Toronto just published a case study in a medical journal about a 30-year-old woman who survived a GUNSHOT . . . all thanks to her breast implants.<\/p>\n The doctors say she was randomly hit with a bullet on the street in Toronto back in 2018.\u00a0 And the bullet hit her left implant . . . which kept it from hitting her HEART.<\/p>\n The bullet deflected over to the right breast, and hit it with enough force that it FLIPPED the implant over. It got lodged in the woman’s chest, but doctors say the bullet would’ve killed her if it weren’t for her implants.\u00a0 Instead, she only wound up with one fractured rib.\u00a0 Oh . . . and she had to lose both of the implants, since they were both messed up by the bullet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 “American Idol”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>starts its “live” rounds this Sunday, with everyone doing their respective things from their own homes.\u00a0 But it won’t actually be live.<\/p>\n The contestants will record their performances the day before.\u00a0 Then\u00a0RYAN SEACREST<\/strong>\u00a0and the judges will watch those recordings together, and comment on them as a group.\u00a0 The finale will be done the same way, except that the RESULTS will be live.

Average speeds on the city\u2019s highways during rush hour have increased, rising between 34 percent (Staten Island) and 85 percent (Brooklyn.) At the end of March the city also issued more than double the number of speeding tickets via automated speed cameras as it did the month prior.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The BBC also reports that Greater Manchester, England saw up to 40 percent of drivers break the speed limit during the first week of April, and that number is usually closer to ten percent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n MORE WAYS THE WORLD COULD CHANGE AFTER THE PANDEMIC:<\/u><\/strong> \u27a2 Staycations could replace international travel:\u00a0 Instead of risking a cruise or other far-flung experience, we may opt to take a \u201cstaycation for the nation\u201d and remain within our own country.<\/p>\n \u27a2 Masks will become a regular fashion accessory:\u00a0 With designers releasing fashionable masks, there\u2019s a chance that the fashion could stick.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 Venues will become more intimate:\u00a0 With virtual concerts becoming all the rage, it seems unlikely that there will be a rush to return to massive venues and their associated risks. Instead, bands will choose to perform in venues with 50 people or less.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 Surge in creativity:\u00a0 Because most movies and TV shows have suspended filming, there could be a weird period of time when there isn\u2019t much to watch.
