COVID-19 test results are already required for entry at some airports and at international borders, and it's likely that confirmation of getting a COVID-19 vaccine will soon follow.

So public and private organizations have turned to the idea of developing digital health passports to help restart global travel. The organizations involved include health technology company Lume...

REPUBLICANS WON'T CONVICT? MUST BE THE DEMOCRATS' FAULT!

The Democrats' case against Donald Trump is strong. The evidence is devastating. And we all know that acquittal is a certainty. A sensible person would conclude that Senate Republicans are cynically closing ranks to defend Trump for personal and party advantage, or are so depraved that they lack a moral compass, or are living in fear of Trump's voters -- not just that they'll be abandoned by them but that they'll be killed by them. But no -- some commentators insist that the inevitable acquittal will be Democrats' fault. Here's Jay Caruso: ... the Democrats' sole focus on the "in...
