A prominent city employee told me, “This is what happens when you don’t elect adults and choose people more interested in being heard than listening and aren’t that bright.”

After a few days of complaining about not getting called on for a week, @NCHealthNews gets called on by @NC_Governor ’s staff, which has refused for almost four months to call on me. FWIW @wbtradio is the most listened to news station between DC & ATL and No. 1 overall in CLT

This was sent to me. It’s as clear a view as I’ve seen of the 5-alarm fire in SouthPark..

Gov. Roy Cooper has recommended that county mask mandates be switched to optional, which comes less than 24 hours after many Mecklenburg County commissioners begrudgingly voted to end the mandate after Health Dir. Dr Raynard Washington recommended the removal of it.

This is a big deal. People should know @NC_Governor is trying to block access to public records pertaining to COVID-19. #transparency

On the mediation, which was conducted virtually, there were also technical issues that shut out many of the plaintiffs from attending. This is another effort by the State of NC to block public access to COVID-19 related records #ncpol

4 big things from @CDCDirector presser in CLT: 1) Listen to the hospitals. If they say they’re fine, they’re fine; 2) Open schools K-12. It’s more harmful to health to keep kids home; 3) NC trending in right way; 4) @MeckCounty says looking at SC rule on alcohol sales @wbtradio

Love that some hospitals are so transparent and don’t act like they’re in charge of CIA secrets.

Dr. Washington, an infectious disease doctor that works alongside Gibbie Harris with @MeckCounty , confirmed that hospitals run at 90-95% full when there isn’t a pandemic so 85% full is no problem. That’s also not counting surge capacity. @wbtradio

Should be noted that positive percentages & numbers of testing positive have been dropping significantly in nearly every state regardless of state implemented policies.

Exactly two years ago today, I started my first day as a reporter with @wbtradio . Two days later, I was sent to Wilmington to cover Hurricane Florence for my first assignment. What a two years it’s been.

Regular ppl, Govt ppl & school ppl stop saying you’re following science & data because nobody is. Science says wear a mask. No. Science says go to school. No. Science says bars outside are safer than indoor breweries. No. Science says get immunized. No. Everyone cherry picks.
