An online map tracks the Coronavirus outbreak in real-time

As the Coronavirus continues to spread in some parts of the world, researchers from John Hopkins University hope to make it easier to track the SARS-like virus. The map, which is accessible on the desktop or mobile, shows total confirmed cases, recoveries, and deaths. The researchers are using information gathered from the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other global sources to keep the map updated. The Coronavirus originated in China, and it has made its way here in Toronto. Ontario's top medical officers confirmed one patient, while the second case, involving the man's wife, is considered "presumptive positive."

This is what the OnePlus Concept One looks like in black leather

A OnePlus employee shows off a black leather concept phone that's based on the Concept One phone the company revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month. Yes, the one with the "disappearing" rear cameras. It's the same as the McLaren concept, but it's all black and featuring a leather case that seems chunkier than the other concept. It's a sleek-looking device we actually wish OnePlus would eventually use for future phones.

Samsung aims to be the first manufacturer to bring 5G devices into Canada

The Samsung Galaxy S20 will reportedly sport this design. There are 5G versions of the phone expected to launch. Will this be what Samsung brings into Canada?

Samsung is hoping to get a jump over its competition when it comes to 5G devices. The company told MobileSyrup that it plans to be a "5G leader in Canada." According to Jennifer Safruk, vice president of Samsung Canada's mobile division, "Being the first to put 5G in consumers' hands is one of the ways Samsung will do that."

The statement comes after Rogers CEO Joe Natale said the carrier concluded testing on "Canada's first 5G device from Samsung, which will become available in March." We could assume this is one of the new Galaxy S20 devices. Our wait isn't going to be that long, but we'll keep you posted for any updates.
