The Georgia Senate election between Raphael Warnock (D) and Hershel Walker (R) was held on Tuesday, after a month of build up. The results of the election will not change Democratic control of the Senate (which results in tie-breaking vote by the current Vice President when it is 50-50), but would give either the party more leverage in negotiations on close votes. Fromer NFL player Walker and pastor Warnock have been making the case that they are the better candidate both for Georgia and the country even since a runoff was determined necessary in November.

The study finds that the cold weather actually depresses the immune ability of the respiratory system, especially in the nose. Reducing the temperature of air entering the nostrils by as little as 9 degrees farenheit can kill 50% of the bacteria and virus fighting cells in the nose, according to the data. In other words, your mother was right, as always.
