The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

@BryonyWinn is badass and used to be my boss. I continue to be amazed by all she does—and her commitment to helping people learn and grow. And she’s an incredibly genuine and humble human. And her accent makes anything sound credible. So there…

Discharge day

Me: “Couple more updates—so I spoke our social worker. We’ve got some ways to help.”
You: *staring at me*
Me: “Also the pharmacist worked the stuff out with your insulin pen. They’ll be right over to help with that. Oh! And I found the pill box.”

*silence*

@ashishkjha

I needed this today...

Today was one of those “we’re never going to get out of this” days. Saw a few folks walking unmasked and some large groups of college students. That + a rainy cold NC (Covid) day will get you down kinda quickly.

This brings me hope. Thanks

Feeling pessimistic about COVID & 2021?

Don't!

I'm not. Here's why

We'll likely have about 400M doses of Moderna/Pfizer by end of June

Enough to vaccinate 80% of adults

And that means a much better summer

Of course, we'll likely also have J&J, AZ, Novavax
