Earlier this year, Texas seemed to be the model state in taking on the COVID-19 pandemic. But the virus returned with a vengeance this summer. At the epicenter of that battle is Houston, whose hospitals are now nearing ICU capacity. The city’s death toll is up 50 percent from a month ago. Washington Post Live will host Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner in conversation with Washington Post national political reporter Robert Costa about how Houston is faring, how its citizens are coping and the mayor’s plans to guide his city through this crisis. Join Washington Post Live at 12:00 p.m. E.T. on Tuesday, July 21.
