Plunging ahead with in-person instruction during a pandemic:

In the memo, Stewart expressed concern over signs returning students have already contributed to spikes and clusters of infections. She recommended an all-online fall semester or, at a minimum, holding the first five weeks of the semester online-only. She also recommended the school restrict on-campus housing to those who would otherwise have nowhere to live, in order to slow community spread of the disease.

The chancellor described the Orange County Health Department’s recommendations as “another piece of information we have received.” But after consulting with UNC health experts and the UNC System — which will make the final decision on closures — the university decided not to follow the health department recommendations.

When (not if) the outbreaks occur, faculty and students will have to scramble (again) to adapt to online instruction, and the UNC Hospital itself will likely be buried in older Orange County residents unnecessarily infected. And if it is, they need to treat those people for free. I know it's a teaching hospital that also relies (at least partly) on tuition monies, but health issues should be paramount. And these comments will not age well:

There is NO doubt in my mind, based on your record and statements as #NC House Speaker and now US Senator, that you would have NO PROBLEM leaving me to DIE as a "disabled" person @SenThomTillis.

I fully endorse your opponent @CalforNC who is from NC, not Florida like you.#ncpol

He's either doing nothing or doing the wrong thing. He's not even a broken clock.

Clearly @DanForestNC DGAF about the citizens he wants to lead as governor. He is a danger to us all. #NCPOL https://t.co/a4Pio14kvX

He cares about nothing but himself, and that is becoming more obvious every day.

Dandy has apparently taken this ad down, but cue the RW nutters complaining about "Liberal" media not allowing conservatives to steal their intellectual property...

This is a serious problem:

Not sure how many of these operations were able to secure government loans to stay afloat, but just from anecdotal evidence I've seen on social media, probably not many.
