In this episode, we’re talking to New Hanover Commissioner Woody White and Dr. Paul Kamitsuka, chief epidemiologist at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. We start with Commissioner White. We talk about his concerns about the impact of the broad social distancing restrictions, how his criticism is being received by the community and how the pandemic is influencing the ongoing debate of the sale of the hospital. Next, we talk with Dr. Kamitsuka, who gives us a rundown on how the hospital is prepared for the pandemic, when we might see the peak and why he feels social distancing has helped the community.
Each episode of Collective Voice looks at one issue facing the Cape Fear region and how it is interconnected, requiring a comprehensive solution.
