Here's the situation with COVID in NC

Many of my constituents have told me they feel like there's a lot of
bad information out there about the COVID situation - but we've also
reached a point where people are tired of being told what to think.
They're very skeptical about people - especially politicians -
making bold claims about what the future holds. So here's what I'm
going to do: I’m just going to show you the key data points here in
NC and let you see for yourself where things stand. The biggest
number that everyone follows is new daily cases. And that chart
certainly looks discouraging. The biggest number that
everyone follows is new daily cases. And that chart certainly looks
discouraging. |

BUT then you follow it with data about new daily
testing, and you see that a lot of the increase in new
daily cases seems to reflect the increase in testing.
It’s become a common observation that more testing leads
to more (confirmed) cases, and that appears to be true
in North Carolina.

clear way to make farming a sustainable enterprise is to

importance, including eating fresh food,” says Dr.
Michelle Eley, community and economic development
specialist for Cooperative Extension at A&T. |
held this year March 19-25. Scheduled 4-6 p.m., Three
teams of four students, each equipped with blender,
microwave, griddle and a cornucopia of fresh, local
foods from which to choose, will take up a prominent
place in the dining room to make one entrée and one
dessert. Thursday, March 23, the cooking competition is

message behind the fun activity is an especially timely
one: type 2 diabetes, certain heart ailments and high

in populations their age.
