It’s been three weeks since you’ve heard from us here on The Corona Times, and it has been a busy three weeks for me. After Governor Roy Cooper announced that we would begin Phase One of the re-opening on May 8, my position at Western Piedmont Community College in Morganton was called back to campus and we began preparing for our summer semester. We had a lot to get done in a short amount of time so it took a lot of my time to get things ready for the start of classes which is May 26.
That doesn’t mean that there wasn’t anything going on for our journal. In fact, there has been quite a lot happening and we’re going to try and get everyone caught up on things in the coming days with posts right here. We will be bringing these stories to you, and we ask you to please share your stories and photos with us so we can include them here. Every story is welcome. We want to include the thoughts, hopes, and fears of the people of Mitchell County as this historic pandemic has reshaped our lives in ways we never would have imagined. Please…let us hear from you! The way to contact us with your stories and photos is below. Reach out today!
If you have stories, images, or videos that you would like to include in The Corona Times, please e-mail mitchellnchistory@gmail.com with your stories and files for inclusion. If you have problems sending us videos, please e-mail and we will make arrangements for you to upload the video to us.
You will note a series of numbers contained in the blog. They document the spread of virus through confirmed cases by the federal Centers for Disease Control and by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. These are the official totals provided by state and local government at the date of the post and do not include estimates or cases not confirmed by these agencies. This is our effort to provide an accurate gauge of confirmed virus spread as it continues during the pandemic.
