We recently completed the changeover to a new, much improved audio management system, including a new program scheduling computer, file servers, workstations and more secure and reliable IT networking between our studios in Garden City and Amarillo. This work involved thousands of audio files and lines of programming code, so you may hear some glitches in our programming as we "burn-in" the system in the coming days. We apologize for any disruptions to your listening. If you have questions or problems to report, please contact HPPR's Technical Director, Alex Fregger (afregger@hppr.org).

Once again, the week begins with a national surge in the number of reported COVID-19, up 11% over the last two weeks. New York and New Jersey top the list.

The surge comes as many states remove coronavirus restrictions and also as researchers report an increase in the spread of the U.K. variant.

Here & Now host Jane Clayson talks to Georgetown University virologist Angela Rasmussen about the situation.
