As we enter the cold and flu illness season, Texas physicians warn there are three viruses lurking in the air–the influenza virus that causes the flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Physicians say the best way to say safe–especially for those at greatest risk of severe illness–is to vaccinate against all three.

Amarillo Public Library and Panhandle PBS are hosting a free preview screening of excerpts from the new Ken Burns film, “The American Buffalo.” The event will take place Thursday, October 12, at the Southwest Branch Library, 6801 SW 45th Ave. in Amarillo. Doors will open at 5:30 pm with the film preview starting at 6 pm. Refreshments will be provided.
