This episode is all about the history of feeding babies which has been necessary and yet surprisingly difficult since the beginning of mankind. In fact, it's so necessary that to forgo it, up until very recently, the last hundred years or so, was a death sentence for the infant. We don't often think about feeding babies. It's something mothers take care of behind the scenes, part of the invisible load. We certainly don't pause to think about the history of it, the immense challenges faced throughout the ages. But we should. As necessary as infant feeding is, as necessary as it has always been, society still does not make it easy for mothers to pull off. And that should concern you, even if you aren't a mother, even if you aren't a baby. Because you were once, and so was I, and so was literally everyone.

In addition to new abortion rules and Medicaid expansion, the state's largest insurer may get new freedom from regulation.

The number of lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in North Carolina is now over 231,000 with 1,719 new cases reported on Sunday. Hospitalizations remain over 1,000 as health officials keep a close eye on trends, amid a week that saw the third-highest jump in cases since start of the coronavirus pandemic. This comes as President Trump prepares to return to the campaign trail after recovering from COVID-19. The virus is also complicating the voting process for some North Carolinians. Just a few of the topics BPR's Helen Chickering unpacked with NC Health News founding editor Rose Hoban and this week.

This week they discuss the quick- switch to all online-learning by two universities in the UNC system, the complicated challenge of communicating public health messages during a pandemic along with a check-in with primary care practices. HC: Boy, what a difference a week makes. So, let's start off the bat with talking about the decision by UNC Chapel Hill and now NC State to switch to all-online learning. That's after Corona virus clusters started popping up on campus. The UNC student paper, The Daily Tar Heel pretty much nailed it in an editorial headline. RH: The headline that we can say on public radio from their editorial is "We Saw This Coming". I mean, the whole thing, it was completely predictable group of 19-20-21-year-olds. They're at school, they're excited to be away from home for the first time. They're not going to sit in their dorm rooms and socially distance. HC: I feel like it's a

North Carolina COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations keep rising, but NC is still in better shape than many Southern states.

The number of lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in North Carolina is hovering close to 100,000 with 1,820 new cases reported on Sunday. Hospitalizations declined over the weekend but remained over 1,000.

HC: Thank you so much for joining us from New York. As you were leaving town, we saw numbers cross thresholds, all as the governor prepares to announce what school reopening and what will happen to phase-2 will look like. I wouldn't want to be the governor. RH: Neither would I, these are going to be brutal choices that he and the secretary will end up making, going forward crossing that psychic threshold of a thousand people in the

Every Friday, BPR's Helen Chickering talks with NC Health News founding editor Rose Hoban. This week they discuss the pause on the governor's school opening plan , the politics of masks and the parallels between the coronavirus and HIV/Aids pandemics. HC: So let's start off with schools. The governor hit another pause button this week, this time it was on the announcement about plans for public schools this year. I'm not completely surprised, there's so much information coming out. They've been telling school districts to make all kinds of plans, the full opening plan, the hybrid - you're half open and half online and then just doing remote learning plan. And of course this week, the American Academy of Pediatrics weighed in on the conversation, saying basically that they felt like the kids do best when they're in school. So there's so many people tugging in, in so many directions. The governor alluded to the idea that they need to get buy in from teachers. So that seems to tell me

Every Friday, BPR's Helen Chickering talks with NC Health News founding editor Rose Hoban. Among the topics of discussion this week: Governor Roy Cooper's Phase-2 pause and mask mandate, the latest from the General Assembly - including a bill addressing hospital patient visitation during the pandemic and a Medicaid package, plus a look at challenges dentists are facing as they work to re-open HC: So, Rose, last week, we talked about the governor hinting at a mask mandate and speculation about what phase three would look like. And the verdicts are in on both. And the verdict is no phase three. Governor Cooper decided to let phase two extend for three more weeks. I think everyone's heard that by now, people were waiting with bated breath and he was kind of like, Hmm, no, not yet. And their big concern is the rate of positives. HC: It really felt like the governor was revving up the troops when he made that mask mandate announcement, because when it comes down to it, I guess compliance is

Every Friday, BPR's Helen Chickering reviews the week's coronavirus news with NC Health News founding editor Rose Hoban. This week they discuss the latest COVID-19 metrics , the "have and have-not" impact on hospital reporting, possible mask mandate, missing racial data and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on foster care HC : Let's start with the number of, so it looks like North Carolina will hit 50,000 new COVID-19 cases. sometime this weekend(on Saturday: 51, 389). There's a record number of people in the hospital. Before we hit the record button, you brought up hospital reporting. I look at the data every day. So first off, we have 871 folks who are currently hospitalized as of Friday, with 91% of hospitals reporting. Like any good reporter I've developed contacts over the years. They send me information - "here's a screenshot of our hospital's dashboard." And it's very interesting. You can see how many ICU cases a hospital has or how many COVID patients are on the floor and

This episode I talk with Greg Barnes, who is an investigative journalist with NC Health News. Greg has been instrumental in exposing problems with regulating PFAS and 1,4 dioxane. He breaks down the importance / dangers of PFAS, and how industries have been using them since the 40's but there are now increasingly high levels in North Carolina water systems causing adverse health effects. We also talk about another chemical 1,4 dioxane and how that is also showing up in the water. These chemicals are very persistent in the environment and in the human body – meaning they don't break down and they can accumulate over time. We discuss ways we can protect ourselves and hold industries accountable for these chemicals. EPA PFAS definition: PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and an estimated 5,000 types of PFAS. PFAS can be found in everything from Teflon pans to raincoats to food packaging and dental floss just to name a few.

"Faith, hope, and love - these three remain. And the greatest of these is love." These words conclude one of the most well-known chapters in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13. In our series The Big Three, we look at faith, hope, and love, often called the "theological virtues." This Sunday we explored faith by looking at Luke 7:36-50, in which Jesus offers forgiveness to a woman who washes his feet. We explored the old debate about faith vs. works and suggested that maybe this is a false dichotomy. Faith that saves *is* faith that works. Note: Here is the link to an article from NC Health News about the Opioid information session through the NC Council of Churches that Drew mentions in the sermon.
