When it comes to shaping public opinion hard-hitting visual examples can be a lot more persuasive than words and statistics. The Ohio Department of Health created a visually dazzling public service announcement using ping-pong balls and mousetraps to explain how social distancing works.

This PSA is just another example of how Ohio is getting things right during the pandemic. As of April 9, the state has about 5,100 infections, fewer than a third of the cases in similarly sized Michigan, Pennsylvania and Illinois.

Mouse traps and ping pong balls to show powerful message: ‘Social distancing works’

Ohio’s governor Mike DeWine was among the first governors to start aggressive shut-down measures in their state. “Every one of us is in this fight. We don’t need to go into the battlefield, we simply need to stay home,” DeWine said in a press conference.

Social distancing continues this weekend amid the global pandemic, and several new TV seasons are here for the binging. If nothing here suits your sensibilities, check out our guide to What You Should Watch On Streaming Right Now. We’ve also included a few Monday shows for this long holiday weekend.

Killing Eve (Sunday, AMC 9:00 p.m.) — Jodie Comer’s assassin and Sandra Oh’s MI6 agent are back, and this time, the cat-and-mouse game has evolved into something deeper. The show’s still as hypnotic as always, only with different focuses, and it’s more of an ensemble game now than almost exclusively focusing on the duo, all for the greater good of the show’s survival.

Brews Brothers (Netflix series) — If you want to watch some booze-loving monks (who doesn’t?) and a story where a key obstacle is how to recreate an IPA that a distributor loved without knowing that someone peed in it (why not?), then you’re probably gonna dig this show, which co-stars Alan Aisenberg from Orange Is The New Black.

SNL (Saturday, NBC 11:30 p.m.) — Aaaand the long-running sketch show will be back with “original content,” although no one knows exactly what that will look like in quarantine-based format.

Run (Sunday, HBO 10:30 p.m.) — The new show from Fleabag and Killing Eve dynamic duo Vicky Jones and Phoebe Waller-Bridge has arrived. The series stars Merritt Wever and Domhnall Gleeson as two college exes who send fateful texts and reunite for a cross-country adventure.

Les Misérables (Amazon film) — Not related to the musical: this movie’s about a new recruit for a Parisian local anti-crime squad who must help ease a spiraling situation based upon the 2005 Parisian riots.

Love Wedding Repeat (Netflix film) — Sam Claflin, Olivia Munn, Eleanor Tomlinson, Joel Fry, and Freida Pinto star in an “innovative romantic comedy” that unfolds alternate versions of the same wedding. Claflin’s the romantic hero here, and he’s attempting to reunite with the One Who Got Away, Olivia Munn. Good luck, man.

The Main Event (Netflix film) — A superhero movie revolves around a magical wrestling mask that gives an 11-year-old boy super strength. Naturally, he enters a WWE competition and attempts to rise to WWE Superstar level. The movie stars Adam Pally and Ken Marino, along with Kofi Kingston, The Miz, and Sheamus.

Tigertail (Netflix film) — Alan Yang, who worked on Parks and Rec and co-created Master of None, presents an immigration drama that’s both nuanced and incredibly funny. The film’s tied to Yang’s father’s experience after moving to the Bronx from Taiwan, and as one can expect, the cultural shift resonated for him.

Here’s the rest of this weekend’s notable programming:

Charmed (Friday, CW 8:00 p.m.) — A faction gala event is targeted by the Charmed Ones to rescue Harry while Macy arrives at a shocking conclusion.

Dynasty (Friday, CW 9:00 p.m.) — Fallon becomes the Internet’s new queen of mean, and she’s actually not thrilled about it. This tosses her relationship into disarray, oh no.

Real Time With Bill Maher (Friday, HBO 10:00 p.m.) — Virtual interview guests include NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, Al Gore, Ian Bremmer, and Nikki Glaser.

Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children (Sunday, HBO 8:00 p.m.) — Part II of HBO’s unraveling of a shameful legacy airs. Read our interview with two of the filmmakers, and then tune in to watch Wayne Williams odd behavior (and that of the police) make no sense.

Westworld (Sunday, HBO 9:00 p.m.) — The confusion continues as the third season of this series follows up on those Delores reveals from last week. Theories abound already, so get dive into the futuristic dystopia.

Homeland (Sunday, Showtime 9:00 p.m.) — No one admits to anything, but Carrie’s still freaking out. We’re growing close to the penultimate freakout, so hang on, spy lovers.

Black Monday (Sunday, Showtime 10:00 p.m.) — A moral quandary arrives with a new client, and Tiff’s got an identity crisis brewing while Mo, Blair, and Keith dig into leads.

Insecure (Sunday, HBO 10:00 p.m.) — Issa’s holding a courtyard mixer to push a bigger block party to sponsors, but there’s a mutual connection that’s spawning trouble. Oh, and Molly is crushing on Anrew.

9-1-1 (Monday, FOX 8:00 p.m.) — The call center’s taken hostage, which (naturally) causes Maggie to fear for herself and her co-workers.

Better Call Saul (Monday, AMC 9:00 p.m.) — Jimmy attempts business as usual while Kim’s got her own priorities following his misadventure.

The past year at FC Barcelona has occurred under an endless state of turmoil. There was the firing of head coach Ernesto Valverde, then there was “Barcagate,” the speculation that club president Josep Maria Bartomeu had hired a PR firm to deliberately sabotage some of the team’s former and current players on social media. In February, there was the very public spat between Eric Abidal, the sporting director, and Lionel Messi that still hasn’t really been resolved.

On Thursday night, the drama continued when six members of the club board resigned. As reported by La Vanguardia, the group’s letter of resignation to Bartomeu expressed discontent with his leadership and called for new elections, which would lead to a challenger emerging to take over the club:

We have reached this point by not being able to reverse the criteria and forms of management of the club in the face of the important challenges of the future and, especially, from the new post-pandemic scenario.

…

As a last service to our club, we recommend that as soon as circumstances allow it to convene new elections that allow, with all the ‘authority’, to manage the club in the best possible way in the face of the important challenges of the immediate future.

After rumors started swirling that Bartomeu was planning on reshuffling the boardroom, former vice president Emili Rousaud, joined by Enrique Tombas, Silvio Elías, Josep Pont, Maria Teixidor and Jordi Calsamiglia chose to leave the club. Bartomeu has been in charge since 2015.

In an interview with RAC1 on Friday, Rousaud suggested that someone at the club is stealing money and questioned Bartomeu’s honesty in an audit of the club’s finances. For their part, what was left of the Barcelona board immediately released a statement threatening legal action against the former vice president.

Bartomeu has come under pressure in recent months as internal strife within the club has worsened, making one of the richest clubs in the world look like an unorganized picture of corruption and mess. Fans have voiced their increasing frustrations on everything from the exorbitant amount of money the club was spending in the transfer market to the carousel of coaches to the consecutive disappointing exits from the UEFA Champions League.

Making matters worse is how the players have grown tired of the club’s antics as well. Reports of Messi’s dissatisfaction with the club’s transfers grow every day, Ivan Rakitic did not like how his rumored exit from the club was handled and the players released a statement last month about how they didn’t appreciate the way in which the club forced them to take a pay cut.

It’s amazing how quickly things can shift. Just a few months ago, we were all making travel plans for 2020, now those grand designs are all on hold. Borders are closed. Hotels are being turned into hospitals. Airports are shutting down entirely. Answers to “When will it be safe to travel again?” are nebulous at best. “We simply don’t know” is the response du jour. The EU is thinking about reopening its borders around May 15th, but that could easily change. In fact, everything is subject to swift and immediate change.

Get used to being adaptable. And when we are actually allowed (and financially able) to get back on the road, expect travel itself to look a lot different. Temperature checks on planes, smaller crowds at clubs and festivals, masks at markets, and mandatory quarantines for people arriving or returning sick are all likely. We’re all going to have to tread lightly and adjust to the world as it presents itself.

Still, having something to look forward to — whether it’s getting to go to your favorite bar with your crew again, staying at a boutique hotel, or finally having the chance to fly to a far off land — is a therapy we could all use right now. And with airlines dropping change fees and hotels offering deals, there are some interesting opportunities available. Though it feels tough to square, it’s true that while a lot of folks are struggling financially and we need to do everything we can to help and support them, traveling to communities around the world and spending money on the road is going to be an essential part of those broader recovery efforts.

Is It Worth Booking A Flight Right Now?

We think the first question you have to ask yourself is “why?” With so many unknowns right now, do you want to lay out some cash for an airline that’s getting billions in bailout money anyway? Help your local restaurants instead. But also, why do you want to go to the place you’re thinking of booking? Do you need to go there?

On the flip side, prices are rock bottom right now. And not just for travel in the near future. Flights all the way into 2021 are also at rock bottom price points. And with most airlines waving their “change fees” across the board on tickets bought right now, the potential for you getting stuck with the bill is slim. So ask yourself this: Is it worth buying a cheap ticket now, holding on to it, and changing down the road if you need to? In the worst-case scenario, if the flight is full-on canceled, you’ll still have a voucher for another flight at a later date. (Though most airlines aren’t offering full refunds, so if you’re worried about going into financial insolvency over the next few months, please don’t risk it.)

For those with savings or few liabilities, it’s not a terrible idea to buy a cheap ticket home for Thanksgiving or even late summer and then taking a wait and see approach. There are people out there tracking flight deals all over the world, right now Still, with the whole industry — and the status of the entire planet — in flux, don’t count on anything being permanent.

Is It Worth Booking A Hotel/Resort Right Now?

This one is a little bit harder to parse. One, there are huge chains out there that are probably going to be fine because they have someone in Washington, D.C. lobbying for them. And big property collections like Hilton, Marriott, etc. all have free change or cancelation policies right now. But this also comes down to “why?” The big chains aren’t really offering any great deals besides standard 20 percent off early booking discounts. It’s more likely they’ll run sales once things are back up and running in order to entice you in.

On the other side of the spectrum, small and independent properties are hurting and going to continue to hurt (and possibly fail) without real support. You can book rooms at local resorts, B&Bs, or small hotels — likely run by your neighbors and certainly employing them — just to give them some promise for the future. If it doesn’t pan out, it doesn’t. At least you tried to support your local economy (or an economy in a hard-hit area — Italy, Navajo Country, NOLA, etc).

Is it worth it? We’d say “yes,” if you focus on independent spots. Giving small properties a sense of hope right now is a worthy pursuit.

Is It Worth Booking A Package Trip?

This one is even harder to define. Pretty much the entire package tour industry is reliant on commercial airlines and local accommodations, restaurants, and tour guides. That’s a lot of moving parts.

Some companies are only selling trips in 2021 right now. Others are selling trips starting in the summer with money-back guarantees and/or free change fees. Companies like Contiki are offering up to 30 percent off all of their 2021 European trips with solid rescheduling policies in place. And let’s be honest, places like Spain and Italy are going to really need tourists dollars to get back on their feet.

Is it worth it? If you can get 30 percent off a trip in 2021 and a money-back guarantee? Maybe. At the very least, it’ll give you something to look forward to in 2021. Though again, if you feel like you might get to a true financial pinch point in the next few months, do not take any risks.

Is It Worth Making Plans At All?

The travel industry is a vital part of economies in every single corner of the world. Tourism dollars fuel New York restaurants, small fishing villages in the South Pacific, entire industries worldwide, sites in Europe big and small, buskers on the streets of Dublin, craft breweries in Portland, and so much more.

It’s going to be hard for the travel world to recover from this. We don’t know when we’ll be able to freely travel again. There’s a good chance that we may never enjoy quite the same freedom to roam internationally that we’ve had over the last 30 years. But we will get back out there eventually, in some way or another. We just have to make sure we travel safely and wisely. Hopefully, we can continue to learn from our own mistakes in judgment over the past few months and be more aware of why travel is meaningful and what it offers to our lives going forward.

Despite the unusual setting of this year’s WrestleMania, WWE continued event promotion as usual during the event, showing ads for this year’s Money In The Bank PPV on May 10. Today, the first notice of a change to MITB 2020 came from its planned venue, the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore Maryland. According to the arena’s Twitter account, “The WWE Money In The Bank event originally scheduled for Sunday, May 10 in Baltimore has been canceled. Refunds are available at all points of purchase.”

The use of the word “canceled” there is suspect to anyone who’s been keeping up with WWE. Though the company has scrapped live events for the time being, they haven’t stopped taping shows, and are just about the only American TV production or sporting event still running, unless the Dana White’s Fight Island works out. The announcement of a Money In The Bank in the Performance Center wouldn’t be a surprise.

The Royal Farms Arena tweet also revealed that WWE has joined the ranks of companies who have released an ad about “these difficult times,” which you can see here.

The NFL intended to clean up its pass interference rules by allowing officials to review those calls during the 2019 season, but opening up pass interference to instant replay and coaches’ challenges ended up doing the opposite. The league’s Competition Committee officially decided to move on from the rule this week, assuredly ending an experiment that will not soon be forgotten.

As Mark Maske reported at the Washington Post after the completion of the regular season, “there were 101 interference-related replay reviews during the regular season, and 24 of them resulted in the on-field call being reversed.” Just three of those reversals came on plays in which interference was not already called. The vast majority came on plays in which there was no interference called and officials went back to call the penalty.

The rule was put in place following pressure, particularly from the New Orleans Saints, after a non-call in the 2018 NFC Championship Game turned the tide of the game toward the L.A. Rams. However, many around the league this past season complained about the lack of clarity regarding the rules and referees’ apparent lack of willingness to change their own calls.

Though the NFL is moving on from reviewing pass interference, the issue has taken on heightened focus over the past 18 months, meaning there is still reason to believe referees could learn their lesson and straighten out a stricter ruling on those calls.

Esports are one of the few sporting leagues that are able to pivot and give live options to fans desperate for content of any kind. NASCAR has put on a series of successful (and very entertaining) iRacing broadcasts on Fox with Cup drivers taking on virtual tracks. The NBA, meanwhile, has had its players face off in an NBA 2K tournament that’s aired on ESPN. The NFL, meanwhile, has seen some of its players participate in a Madden tournament.

Baseball, meanwhile, is stuck in neutral before it even started. Opening Day has come and gone, but the season remains on pause while CDC guidelines and conventional medical wisdom make playing baseball impossible in America. While we wait for the pandemic’s impact to lesson and do our best to social distance, however, MLB has made its own eSports league featuring players from all 30 MLB teams.

ESPN reported Friday that an MLB The Show league will essentially play out an abridged baseball season while the COVID-19 pandemic keeps us all inside. With players from every team involved, the league will run a 29-game regular season that starts on Friday.

The regular season begins Friday and will last through April 28. Games will take place every one to two days with three to five three-inning matchups played each game day. The postseason is scheduled to begin April 30, with a World Series played on May 2. The postseason will feature the eight best teams, with a best-of-three format for the first two rounds and a best-of-five format for the World Series.

The tournament is for charity, with MLB, its players association, and Sony donating $5,000 to a Boys & Girls Club affiliate in each team’s community and an additional $25,000 going to the team that wins the World Series. The games will be broadcast on Twitch, but according to ESPN’s report there have been “conversations” about putting the games on TV with the league’s broadcast partners. The Show is consistently one of the most realistic sports sims on the market, so the product will presumably be pretty good watching.

Here are the players involved in the tournament:

• Arizona Diamondbacks: Jon Duplantier

• Atlanta Braves: Luke Jackson

• Baltimore Orioles: Dwight Smith Jr.

• Boston Red Sox: Eduardo Rodriguez

• Chicago Cubs: Ian Happ

• Chicago White Sox: Lucas Giolito

• Cincinnati Reds: Amir Garrett

• Cleveland Indians: Carlos Santana

• Colorado Rockies: David Dahl

• Detroit Tigers: Niko Goodrum

• Houston Astros: Lance McCullers Jr.

• Kansas City Royals: Brett Phillips

• Los Angeles Angels: Ty Buttrey

• Los Angeles Dodgers: Gavin Lux

• Miami Marlins: Ryne Stanek

• Milwaukee Brewers: Josh Hader

• Minnesota Twins: Trevor May

• New York Mets: Jeff McNeil

• New York Yankees: Tommy Kahnle

• Oakland Athletics: Jesus Luzardo

• Philadelphia Phillies: Rhys Hoskins

• Pittsburgh Pirates: Cole Tucker

• San Diego Padres: Fernando Tatis Jr.

• San Francisco Giants: Hunter Pence

• Seattle Mariners: Carl Edwards Jr.

• St. Louis Cardinals: Matt Carpenter

• Tampa Bay Rays: Blake Snell

• Texas Rangers: Joey Gallo

• Toronto Blue Jays: Bo Bichette

• Washington Nationals: Juan Soto

Call of Duty League returns this week as well, meaning gaming-inclined folks have plenty of options to watch if you’ve got some time this weekend. It’s not a trip to the ballpark, but it’s certainly a start.

Drew Brees seems like he can play football forever, but seeing as how he’s 41 and father time is undefeated, the future Hall of Fame inductee’s playing career doesn’t have all that much time left. Whenever he decides to hang them up, though, Brees already knows what he’s going to do next.

A new report by Andrew Marchand of the New York Post indicates that Brees, who was being courted by several television networks, has decided to ink a deal with NBC Sports that will lead to him being “groomed as a potential replacement” for longtime Sunday Night Football analyst Cris Collinsworth. However, before he gets to that point, NBC plans on using him on other broadcasts to get his feet wet in the broadcasting world.

When Brees retires from the Saints, he is expected to start as a game analyst on Notre Dame football and as a studio analyst for “Football Night in America.” In its recruitment of Brees, NBC sold him on it being the best place to succeed.

Brees had been courted by ESPN, too, as the lead analyst for Monday Night Football, which has been a focus for the network this offseason. The Worldwide Leader in Sports had an eye on Tony Romo, who opted to stay with CBS, and asked Peyton Manning if he would be interested in the job, but he declined. While Marchand laid out some potential other names to look out for in ESPN’s overhaul of its signature football broadcast, there wasn’t an indication that there is anything imminent with regards to replacing Joe Tessitore and/or Booger McFarland.

Still, in the world of broadcasting, this is a huge win for NBC, which now can throw Brees and Mike Tirico on games, whether it be in place of or alongside Collinsworth and Al Michaels. As Marchand reported, two No. 1 booths is potentially on the table.

The move by NBC has been made in part to solidify its announcing group as all the networks head into negotiations with the NFL for the next TV rights agreement. NBC could possibly add a second NFL package, which would allow Brees and Collinsworth to both be No. 1s. If not, Brees will be in the on-deck circle.

Brees agreed to a two-year, $50 million extension with the New Orleans Saints this past offseason, but Marchand pointed out that “there is a feeling this could be his final season.”

Sometimes good R&B can be hard to find, but there are plenty of great rhythm and blues tunes to get into if you have the time to sift through the hundreds of newly released songs every week. So that R&B heads can focus on listening to what they really love in its true form, we’ll be offering a digest of the hottest R&B jams that fans of the genre should hear every Friday.

First up, Kiana Ledé released her debut album Kiki and along with it came a ladies night FaceTime visual with Ari Lennox for the track “Chocolate.” Elsewhere, India Shawn reconnected with 6lack for the affectionate “Not Too Deep” and Tory Lanez came through with his new EP New Toronto 3 featuring standout cut “Stupid Again.”

Kiana Ledé — “Chocolate.” Feat. Ari Lennox

Kiana Ledé and Dreamville’s Ari Lennox connect for their mutual love of “Chocolate.” on Kiana’s latest single from her debut album Kiki. Both of their sweet voices blended on this track gives the song a bit of richness and is a fulfilling achievement as it’s a fairly easy decision to return for more. Kiki’s jazzy voice praises the mother of somebody’s son and all of her desires in a man, while Ari chimes in with her ambrosial vocals expressing a few desires of her own as the two indulge in conversations reserved for ladies night between homegirls. In this case it’s over FaceTime because of, you know, The Rona.

India Shawn — “Not Too Deep” Feat. 6lack

India Shawn wants to fall in love on her new song “Not Too Deep” featuring 6lack. The Epic recording artist fearlessly swims through the track with her soulful voice expressing a kind of love where two souls connect and, naturally, 6lack meets her there with the same energy.

Tory Lanez — “Stupid Again”

Tory Lanez has been going crazy on Instagram with his notoriously wild and entertaining Quarantine Radio featuring big booties everywhere (he got temporarily banned and everything). On Friday (April 10), he unleashed The New Toronto 3 and is going equally crazy on the project’s rambunctious joint “Stupid Again.”

Love Mansuy — “Count On You” Feat. Lil Wayne

A rarity, Lil Wayne hopped on the remix of Love Mansuy’s “Count On You” off his 2019 EP Of Age. Weezy F. Baby raps all the ways he can count on his girl in a way that’s reminiscent of Da Drought. Mansuy also counts all the ways he can count on his own family and friends as he chases his dreams. It’s a charming addition to the already very good song.

PJ — “Intentions/Yummy” (Justin Bieber Cover)

PJ is taking this sequestered moment in time to release a series of tracks for her latest musical endeavor, The Quarantine Tapes. She already put her sultry drip onto Roddy Ricch’s Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial number “High Fashion” and this week she fulfilled the same feat to Justin Beiber’s “Intentions/Yummy.”

Amber Mark — “Heart-Shaped Box”

Nirvana‘s 1993 In Utero song “Heart-Shaped Box” is absolutely one of my favorites and Amber Mark, a burgeoning R&B superstar everyone should be looking out for, really did her thing to the grunge record by truly singing it with her own divine essence. It’s a remarkable interpretation of Kurt Cobain’s angsty drawl.

Dvsn — “Dangerous City” Feat. Ty Dolla $ign & Buju Banton

OVO Sound’s Dvsn never misses so expect nothing but pure melodically dulcet rhythm and blues from Daniel Daly and producer Nineteen85 on their upcoming project A Muse In Her Feelings. Though their music is generally an ethereal slow build-up of robust sounds and heavenly vocals, their latest single off the forthcoming project, “Dangerous City” featuring Ty Dolla $ign and iconic Jamaican artist Buju Banton, is vibrant, unexpected, and needed. Once we can go back outside, I expect “Dangerous City” to rise as 2020’s perfect summertime R&B chune.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
