“For the first time since 1944, Harvard and Yale will not meet on the gridiron, ending a string of 136 consecutive editions of the storied rivalry game.” In what could be precedent setting, the Ivy League determined “that its schools will not be participating in the fall sports season as the country continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The U.S. passed another “grim milestone” on Wednesday, racking up 3 million COVID-19 cases, which “represents roughly a quarter of the world’s cases and the same percentage of its deaths.” The U.S. now strongly “leads an unenviable group. Its 3 million cases for a nation of 330 million beats out Brazil’s 1.7 million cases (210 million population), India’s 742,000 cases (1.4 billion) and Russia’s 699,000 cases (145 million).”
