1. Ida’s Aftermath
» Hundreds of thousands are still without power in Louisiana as cleanup continues from Hurricane Ida: Hundreds of thousands of Louisiana residents still are enduring power outages in dangerous heat nearly a week after deadly Hurricane Ida struck — and long lines outside gas stations are underlining people’s struggle to stay cool and mobile. In the wind-damaged city of Kenner near New Orleans, the mayor was blunt Saturday when asked what his city needed most. “Power,” Mayor Ben Zahn told CNN. “We suffered a lot. … When you don’t have power, you need ice. So we have been trying to give as much ice out as we can, because people need to keep things as cold as possible.” As of Saturday morning, more than 700,000 homes and businesses in Louisiana were without power, according to PowerOutage.US. And high temperatures will be in the high 80s or low 90s in southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi on Saturday, with the heat index — what the temperature feels like with humidity and other factors — generally in the mid-90s, the forecasters said.

President Biden visited Louisiana, where Ida made landfall Sunday, to survey the damage. He pledged to support communities ravaged by the storm.
Power outages in some Louisiana parishes could last at least a month and residents now face gas shortages and dwindling supplies.

2. CoronaVirus Pandemic:
» Three doses of Covid-19 vaccine are likely needed for full protection, Fauci says: With the latest Covid-19 surge upending American life yet again, an official rollout of booster doses could begin within weeks, pending FDA authorization. And it’s likely that three doses of the vaccine are needed for full protection, Dr. Anthony Fauci said. He cited two Israeli-based studies that showed a decrease in infections among people who got a third or booster shot. There was good reason to believe that a third dose “will actually be durable, and if it is durable, then you’re going to have very likely a three-dose regimen being the routine regimen,” Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said at a briefing Thursday.

3. Abortion Battle:
» Texas judge temporarily blocks anti-abortion group from suing Planned Parenthood abortion providers under new law: A district judge in Texas has issued a temporary restraining order against Texas Right to Life, blocking the anti-abortion group from suing abortion providers employed by Planned Parenthood under the state’s strict new abortion law, according to a copy of the order provided by Planned Parenthood.
The law, which took effect this week, bans abortions after as early as six weeks into pregnancy and allows private citizens to bring civil suits against anyone who assists a pregnant person seeking an abortion in violation of the law. It is among the strictest in the nation and bars abortions just after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is often before a woman knows that she is pregnant.
