A new study concludes that opening clinics dedicated specifically to treating influenza can limit the number of people infected and help to “flatten the curve,” or reduce the peak prevalence rate.

Ra’Von Bonner needs a breakout year. The Illinois reserve running back rushed for 225 yards last season with three touchdowns in his third season on the field for the University of Illinois football team. If the dominoes fell right, this could’ve been the season that launched Bonner into the NFL. But Bonner has asthma, a condition he was hospitalized for a handful of times as a child. And though Big Ten officials are pushing a plan to play football safely in 2020, Bonner isn’t buying it.

How we cast votes in federal elections is broken. We elect representatives into offices with terms that may last as many as six years, yet the process for casting a vote must be done within a 12-hour window, on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The roots of a designated day for voting dates back to 1845, when congress declared a national election day. There is much at stake to get every and all votes verified and counted, to reflect the preferences of the majority.
