Pfizer says its COVID-19 vaccine works in kids ages 5-11. The company says it will seek FDA approval. (The vaccine is now available to anyone over 12.) Slow Hand: In another (kinda) COVID-themed story, guitar virtuoso Eric Clapton played a concert Saturday – the first in the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans in quite some time. What’s a story about Capton have to do with COVID? Read Keith Spera’s take. Ivermectin order: In St. Tammany, a judge ordered that a woman in a hospital be allowed to have ivermectin to treat COVID-19. Sara Pagones has the details on that case. Oh, that awful Saints game: “Humbling” and “historic” are two words you don’t want to read in the same sentence describing your favorite team’s performance. But there they were in Jeff Duncan’s column this morning ruining our Cheerios. No sweat. That loss to Carolina Sunday? A mere blip on the way to an “historic” season. You heard it here, friends.
