The best medical advice is to wash hands frequently and thoroughly. If youre ill, stay home and avoid infecting others. And now specific directives against shaking hands.

Reporter the city also continuing its admonition against any kind of racial profiling.

But the more we see women running for Different Levels of office, the more familiar it becomes. And then the less focused theyll be on just the fact that its a woman. Reporter with this race down now to, basically, two viable candidates, a contested nomination becomes less likely. A lot riding on what Elizabeth Warren does over the next few days. Will she, in fact, endorse one of the candidates . And they both understand that could be a major pull for them. To get some of her voters. Join my policies, will i have a part in some of these administration fist someone is the nominee that potentially goes on to win the presidency .
