A Dartmouth-Gallup study finds that women are more concerned about COVID-19 than men, a difference that transcends party lines.

The study's findings are published in Politics & Gender.

A few keyboard clicks later, and voila—they've got a perfect, clear picture of the suspect's face. This, of course, does not work in the real world, as many film critics and people on the internet like to point out.
