The North Carolina Supreme Court has chosen to review this case, and the plaintiffs hope that this will finally bring about a just outcome and prevent this from ever happening again.
Because Gov. Roy Cooper’s former secretary of Health and Human Services, Mandy Cohen, just got the nod from President Joe Biden to be the next director of the Centers for Disease Control, politicians and analysts are again debating how North Carolinians fared during the COVID-19 pandemic. Defenders of Cooper and Cohen argue that their comparatively...
COVID will be with us always, in one form or another. That realization, based on evidence and, yes, science, isn’t news. Yet finally, politicians and health experts are admitting as much. What took them so long, because something tells me they, too, knew long ago that COVID would not simply disappear? “‘We’ve understood we’re not...
Our response to the Omicron variant can go a couple of ways. We can remain calm and let this latest strain run its course.
