Tickets to the Bozeman event were to be made available to the general public at both the Bozeman and Belgrade city halls on a first-come, first-served basis, limited to two per person. In a departure from the invitation-only presidential town halls of the previous Administration, the White House is not screening town-hall attendees, leaving open the likelihood of anti-Obama protesters showing up. There are many who may want to do so. The opposition to so-called Obamacare has been quite active in Montana, which lies along the route of a 12-state, $1 million...
Although some previous research had hinted at similar benefits of weight training, the overall lack of rigorous evidence to support it led doctors to take a conservative approach in recommending excess activity.

Chinese crews wearing masks and medical suits now walk through all international airplanes upon arrival, testing passengers' temperatures with pistol-grip thermometers. When one student from St. Mary's School in Medford, Ore., tested positive on a trip to China in mid-July, 65 fellow pupils and seven chaperones...
...peers. Writing in the August edition of British medical journal the Lancet Infectious Diseases, researchers from Imperial College in London predicted that early and prolonged school closures could ease the burden on hospitals by reducing the number of cases at the peak of the pandemic. They cited a previous study in France that predicted that up to 18% more people would become ill with seasonal flu every year if schools never broke up for the summer...
