Its a new month and the same pandemic. Remember when some folks were optimistic that the shutdowns, closures, and quarantine might be a short-term prospect back in March, a time that feels roughly 20 or so years ago? Yeah. Its August; nearly five months since the first order to close bars and restaurants and other businesses came down the hatch, and after some initial successes, COVID-19 numbers and deaths are on the rise as partial reopenings happen across the state. Amid all this, we have kept our COVID-19 reporting free, lifting the paywall to make sure that folks have access to the information about this constantly developing pandemic. Were also launching a new twice-weekly newsletter  also free  for anyone on our email list to read. Itll include bits and blurbs that might not make it to a full article, COVID-19 updates, traffic and weather, and more. You can sign up for that right here. If youre able, we need your support. Our paper, like many small businesses, has been hit hard by this pandemic. Unlike most papers in the area, were an independent and locally owned outfit. We have one full time employee and a regular freelance writer, but thats it. The best way you can support our work is to sign up for a news subscription. You can do so right here.You can also make a tax-deductible contribution to help us continue our free coverage of the coronavirus pandemic here. Finally, if you think a neighbor or friend in our region would benefit from more local news, please spread the word! As always, stay safe, stay sane, and send us news tips to news@g
