I know, it can be hard to keep up with headlines … especially in Texas.

This week, a COVID outbreak shut down one Texas town.

And yesterday, the Governor announced a ban on vaccine mandates.

Rice University also recently said that a testing glitch led to false positives.

And in other news – is someone, somewhere working on a PAN-coronavirus vaccine that could protect us from future pandemics?

Today, experts are here to explain those and other COVID developments.

Plus, is Tropical Depression 9 headed for Louisiana … or Texas?

We’ll get the latest on the potential hurricane – and how you should be preparing.
