    NEW: Biden health officials just announced the approval of an over-the-counter Covid test that gives results in 15 minutes. Accuracy is 95%. It's a nasal swab, but a short one, not the "brain tickler" that people would struggle to use themselves.

    The court took a break after another plaintiff, Samantha Casiano, vomited while describing what she went through when she was denied an abortion after her baby was diagnosed with anencephaly. She said she had to watch her baby die after giving birth.
