To honor public health workers and researchers in the scientific community for their tireless work on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, Google's landing page looks a bit different today. If you visit Google.com, instead of the usual search engine fare, you'll see Google's logo has been transformed into an animation of a heart floating to a researcher to represent our collective gratitude during this global crisis. Click on the G, and you'll be directed to a Google search for "thank you coronavirus helpers." At the top of this search, you'll find a list of top associated questions with the COVID-19 alert, which you can click on for a list of CDC resources and up-to-date information.
