I want to take a second to share some of the stories @TheNVIndy has been writing. We& #39;re proud of our live blog, and our small but mighty team has been busy at work keeping that and all of our data updated but we& #39;ve been writing a lot of other things too. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/coronavirus-live-blog-week-five">https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/c...
I want to start off with this great, and very human, story from @JackieValley about how high school seniors are adjusting to their new normal — no prom, no senior spirit week, and, perhaps, no graduation ceremony. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/their-senior-year-disrupted-class-of-2020-students-wait-in-limbo-for-graduation-decisions">https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/t...
Over the weekend, @tabitha_mueller wrote this heartbreaking story about what people facing eviction are dealing with — "“[My wife and I] are worrying [about] how to feed ourselves, take a shower..." — and the people who are helping to advocate for them. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/executive-order-addresses-fear-of-eviction-but-tenants-remain-vulnerable-to-predatory-landlords">https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/e...
There& #39;s also been a lot of confusion among businesses about what exactly it means to be nonessential. @RileySnyder explored how Nevada& #39;s small craft beer industry is coping with the news that they are, indeed, not essential. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/nonessential-craft-beer-producers-fear-the-worst-as-state-limits-pickup-delivery-options">https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/n...
At the same time, @danielrothberg wrote a really really important story about what in the world is going to happen when COVID-19 and wildfire season collide. Social distancing while firefighting is not easy! https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/close-quarters-limited-resources-officials-see-coronavirus-as-new-threat-in-fighting-fires">https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/c...
And @MichelleRindels has been staying on top of what& #39;s going on inside of Nevada& #39;s prisons, as fears of coronavirus grow. Social distancing in prison is also not easy! https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/fears-of-coronavirus-in-prisons-grow-as-nevada-confirms-first-covid-19-case-behind-bars">https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/f...
We& #39;ve also been doing some great explanatory journalism. @jacobsolisnv wrote a piece recently on why health officials are now recommending that you wear a mask when you leave your home. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/indy-explains-why-health-officials-now-say-you-should-be-wearing-a-mask">https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/i...
