These states are apparently the best at social distancing

If executive orders don't work, how about a little friendly competition between states to see who's the best at social distancing?

Unacast, a technology company, analyzed GPS location data from millions of smartphones across the country to track average distances before and after the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States and subsequently doled out grades to each state and county based on how big the decline has been, The Star Tribune reports.

The good news is that while some states are doing better than others, the majority appear to be doing their part. Several states received an A grade after showing greater than 40 percent declines in average distance traveled by and very few achieved lower than a B. The states that have stood out, in addition to Washington, D.C., which leads the pack with a 60 percent decrease, are Alaska, Nevada, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. New York, the state dealing with the worst of the crisis right now, also received an A.

Not every state earned strong marks, though. Wyoming was hit with a failing grade, while Montana and Idaho received Ds. Of course, those states are more sparsely populated so traveling greater distances is required more often. Read more at The Star Tribune and see more of Unacast's data here.

Best Android Phones (Updated 2020)

Image
Android is the most popular mobile operating system in the world, and for good reason. Google's open source operating system is used by practically every phone manufacturer on the planet, with the exception of Apple, of course. With so many different options with unique UIs, features, and specs, it is pretty simple to find a device that is perfect for you.

Samsung Galaxy S20+ Review: The Best New High-End Android Phone

Image
After checking out the Galaxy S20 Ultra, it's difficult to forget its brawny build, avalanche of specs, and the impressive reach of Samsung's Space Zoom. Unfortunately, at $1,999, it's also a bit too expensive to love. At that price, the S20 Ultra has to be head and shoulders better than every other phone on the market, and it just isn't. But perhaps the best argument against the S20 Ultra is the existence of the S20+, because for a bit over 20 per cent less money, the S20+ delivers 95 per cent of what you get from its more expensive sibling. So if you're looking for a high-end Android phone with tons of bells and whistles, the S20+ is the one to get. Starting with its build, the Galaxy S20+'s 6.7-inch screen isn't that much smaller than the 6.9-inch panel on the S20 Ultra, so you're not really missing out on much when it comes to your overall viewing experience. And because the S20+'s camera module isn't a huge, boxy thing that sticks
