Construction on the Wake Forest School of Medicine Charlotte campus will start early next year. First class of students in 2024
I got chills watching that rendering unveiling @AtriumHealth lol
Kudos to @CltLedger for nailing the new med school location like months ago

Thread: I spoke to Gibbie Harris today about Mecklenburg County's vaccination rate. Mecklenburg County is lagging behind several neighboring counties right now.
Here is a look at the data, per NCDHHS

Full vaccinations:
Meck- 10.5%
Union- 11.1%
Gaston- 11.6%
Lincoln- 12.2%
Iredell- 12.3%

Wake- 13.7%

Partial:
Meck- 16.8%
Union- 16.6%
Gaston- 17.4%
Lincoln- 18.3%
Iredell- 17.5%

Wake- 22.5%
Yet vaccine demand is still incredibly high in Mecklenburg County. As you can tell from my tweets, open appointments in Charlotte go within minutes, not hours. Like last week when 650 shots in less than 5 minutes.

You do not have to be a Davidson County resident. If you are in Groups 4b or 5 and can get to Davidson Co tomorrow, you can get a vaccine appointment if you sign up here: signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4daca7…
To my knowledge- This is the closest county to Charlotte vaccinating everyone

Tonight's Charlotte City Council meeting will be a doozy. Pour a glass of wine and get ready for more than 100 speakers on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Tweets in the thread. Watch live, starting at 5, here #CLTCC: facebook.com/CLTgov/
East Charlotte residents: you are about to get your second lane on Central Avenue back.

City Manager Marcus Jones says the bus-only lane pilot will conclude at the end of the month. CATS will analyze data from the 6 month pilot and apply it to Phase 3 of the Gold Line #CLTCC
We have reached the monthly portion of Public Forum where east Charlotte residents tell #CLTCC how much they dislike the bus only lane on Central Ave. This time, the first speaker started off saying "thank you" since the city manager announced it is going away

Thread: Ultimately the story boils down to this- The COVID-19 vaccine is limited and coveted right now. Atrium has it. They are scheduling non-patient facing employees to get vaccinated. Plenty of high and at risk groups and people are waiting for their turn.
2. Kudos to @Hunt_Saenz for breaking this today and asking these questions. @NickOchsnerWBTV has a great story too. @TinaTerryWSOC9 also has had great stories on the vaccine distribution process.
3. I don't think it is fair or appropriate for people to personally attack @KatieMcKiever. She did nothing wrong. She was offered the vaccine through work and was approved for it. Katie is not the story. The process is. Her statement is here:
