Signing off. Enjoyed working for the @ChathamNR. Keep reading them. My last few stories in this week’s edition, as well as a “farewell column.” Enjoyed it all.

Nearby Alamance, Durham, Guilford and Lee counties get shoutouts from Cooper in today’s press briefing for “highest growth” in COVID-19 cases.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

Our @NCDHHS team is pushing assistance to local health departments, especially in the counties experiencing the highest growth — Alamance, Duplin, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Johnston, Lee, Mecklenburg and Wake are of particular concern.

[Zachary Horner @ZachHornerCNR]

Wow.

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

New Zealand welcomed back sports with fans. The country hasn't had any new COVID-19 cases in three weeks.

The most important reopening is schools. Even as we celebrate graduates this week, I expect to have kids back in the classroom in just a few months. The hard work we do now will make that happen safely.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

Today is North Carolina’s highest day of new cases since this pandemic started. It was also our highest day of testing at over 21,000 tests reported. But the high number of new cases is not just related to more testing. These numbers show the disease is spreading.

One more thing: After my last day on Tuesday the 16th, I will no longer be using this Twitter account. I'll keep it active as an archive, but won't be accessing it at all.

@WSPate @ChathamNR Chip: So appreciate your kind words. I think you're speaking too highly of me -- but you're spot-on about the News + Record. They'll be just fine.

[Zachary Horner @ZachHornerCNR]

I’m so grateful for all the encouraging tweets and emails I’ve gotten since I started and all that many of you have done to support me and the CNR. Don’t stop! The paper needs you now more than ever.

[Zachary Horner @ZachHornerCNR]

Whether you live in Chatham or not, it’s a great newspaper with great people and great content.

I look forward to being able to share more of my passions and thoughts on things, particularly those related to health, through social media and in person because it will be my job.
