Rare 'breakthrough' COVID cases are causing alarm, confusion
on July 21, 2021 at 10:30 pm
While reports of athletes, lawmakers and others occasionally getting the coronavirus despite vaccination may sound alarming, top health experts point to overwhelming evidence that the shots dramatically reduce severe disease and death. The best indicator: In the U.S., hospitalizations and deaths are nearly all among the unvaccinated, and data from Britain and Israel agree protection remains strong against the worst cases. No vaccine is perfect but what scientists call “breakthrough” infections in the fully vaccinated are a small fraction of coronavirus cases. That's even in the face of the highly contagious delta variant that is burning through unvaccinated communities.
NWS: All NC Counties under air quality alert through midnight Thursday
on July 21, 2021 at 10:04 pm
GREENVILLE, SC (FOX CAROLINA) - The National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg (NWS) announced that all North Carolina Counties are in a code orange Air Quality Action Day through midnight Thursday on its official Twitter page. NWS says this is due to the smoke plumes associated with the wildfires over the western U.S. and Canada. They say the action means that fine particulates concentrations within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards.

Bill changing NC high school sports oversight OK'd by panel
on July 21, 2021 at 10:00 pm
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Legislation that would end the North Carolina High School Athletic Association's century-long role overseeing interscholastic sports cleared a Senate committee Wednesday, despite calls by some to keep the nonprofit in charge, with adjustments. The Republican-authored <a target="—blank" href="https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2021/Bills/House/PDF/H91v4.pdf">bill</a> would create a new North Carolina Interscholastic Athletic Commission that in fall 2022 would enforce student eligibility rules set by the State Board of Education and adopt and enforce game rules and officiating and sportsmanship standards. Private schools also could no longer compete for titles with public schools, which the commission would solely govern. The bill is the product of lawmakers who say the independent association, which began in 1913, is not using its power to primarily benefit student-athletes and its member schools. They also point to the association having amassed $40 million in assets, even as some schools struggle to raise money for uniforms and equipment. “This bill is solely about accountability and transparency,” Sen. Todd Johnson, a Union County Republican, told the Senate education panel. “It's what we demand in every single aspect of state government." The new commission, composed of nine gubernatorial appointees and eight chosen by legislative leaders, will be independent but sit in a state government department. Separate panels also would be created by the education board to hear eligibility appeals and by the commission to hear game appeals. Johnson said the current appeals process lacks independence from association leaders making initial decisions. The bill was unveiled publicly Tuesday, and NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker told reporters later that the proposed commission would inject politics into high school athletics and attack self-governance in sports by its 400-plus member schools. Johnson said Wednesday he highly doubts commission members — composed of superintendents, principals, athletic directors or certain coaches — would put partisanship over student athletes. Committee Democrats said they appreciated examinations by Johnson and other colleagues that revealed the need for changes at the organization. But they said doing away with the commission was premature. “Is the athletic association perfect? Absolutely not. I think we’ve shed light on that. Is it worth a complete dissolution? No,” said Sen. Jay Chaudhuri, a Wake County Democrat, adding “this proposal brings an axe to the athletic association.” Johnson replied that association leaders have been uncooperative toward finding legislative solutions. “At some point in time you got to fish or cut bait,” he said. NCHSAA Assistant Commissioner James Alverson told the committee Wednesday the group's board has made changes recently to benefit member schools financially, including paying premiums for the schools' catastrophic insurance payments. He said the association finances have been misrepresented. “The NCHSAA is not hoarding money, simply put," Alverson said. ”The NCHSAA has responsibly governed high school athletics for the state of North Carolina for 110 years. and I ask you to continue to work with us to improve what we do for students." The bill, which now goes to another Senate committee, would have to pass the full Senate and House before reaching Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's desk. State schools Superintendent Catherine Truitt, a Republican, backed the bill in an email statement Wednesday, saying investigations by her agency and the State Board of Education showed “an overhaul was necessary in how our high school athletic program was governed and structured.” Board Chairman Eric Davis did not endorse specifically the measure in his own statement but said education officials are committed to “transparency, fairness and accountability in our athletics programs.”
