Journalists aren’t built for hard news all the time. So much trauma can really take a lot out of you.

If you’re a reporter, take care of yourself. If you’re a reader, please respect those who put themselves out there to report the news and support local journalism.

[Andrew J. Whitaker @WhitakerPhotos]

Please get vaccinated for kids like Lakota who cannot.

After contracting COVID a couple of weeks into the school year his dad had to bring him to the hospital because he cannot breath.

He doesn't deserve this, other kids like him don't deserve this.

I am heartbroken

[Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd]

Thanks again to @thestate for allowing me to use my voice to try to keep kids safe and healthy in South Carolina.

Ugly numbers from the past 3 days, including 100+ deaths. South Carolina has soared past the first peak last summer in cases and soon in deaths. It appears to be heading toward a run at the all-time peak last winter.

The lawsuit challenges the way a closed-door agreement with the former superintendent, including a payout of taxpayer money, was approved without a public discussion or vote. https://t.co/v7J9gwhi4f

[Meg Kinnard @MegKinnardAP]

"But Kinnard can’t help but think back and wonder what could have happened if she had demanded a biopsy sooner, or if she hadn’t gotten that second opinion at all.

That’s why she’s sharing her story and encouraging others to be their best advocates."

The current trend line for new cases is basically identical to the first wave in SC in mid-June 2020. An increasing upward curve.

Factoring in the vaxxed population, that means the risk for unvaccinated folks is actually on avg. higher today than it was 13 months ago.
