County Commissioners Get a Lengthy Report from Beaufort County's Health Director on the Coronavirus | Eastern North Carolina Now

    January 12, 2022 - Publisher's note: Due to a publishing SNAFU, I have been remiss in my duties, here at BCN, regarding the proper categorization of county government publications; in particular, the Enhanced County Government Videos, begun August 1, 2019.

    Therefore, to thoroughly correct this miscue, I will make the proper categorical correction, and bring these archives forward beginning on January 12, 2022; mixing these historical patterns of fact in with the current news of our day. Some posts brought forward will not be video broadcasts, but most informative posts as to who and what you Beaufort County Commissioners are, and how they govern.

    Beaufort County's Health Director Jim Madson reported to the county commissioners, that the Coronavirus is certainly still making an impact in Beaufort County, even with only now 27 confirmed cases. This report was given the same night that the county commissioners voted 2 to 5 keep Beaufort County businesses shuttered for all "nonessential businesses".

    Health Director Madson spoke of many topics regading the Wuhan Concoction of Death; however, the subjects that interested me the most concentrated on the fact that the state of North Carolina has not procured adequate quantities of PPE equipment for Beaufort County to administer testing, nor is there a state plan to do so. All matters of this calamity of inefficiency juxtaposed against the backdrop of Authoritarian Governor Cooper keeping North Carolina small businesses mostly closed fro nearly 2 months now, yet doing little to initiate testing.

This informative presentation and discussion between the Health Direct and the Beaufort County Commissioners can be viewed here in that segment: Below.


    Publisher's note: If you are interested in our Archive of the Beaufort County Commissioners' General Meetings can be found here in this aforementioned enhanced format.

Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, should Beaufort County and North Carolina continue to remain closed except for "essential" businesses favored by Governor Cooper?

  Yes, Beaufort County and all of North Carolina should remain closed until Governor Cooper grants his executive permission.

  No, Beaufort County and North Carolina should reopen NOW, in measured increments, especially in counties where the Coronavirus has had little impact.

  I don't care about the local economy; I have Netflix, plenty of money, fattening foods, and enough toilet paper to outlast this pandemic.
