Checking the Pulse on NC’s Economic Health During the Coronavirus Crisis

Published: April 29, 2020, 5 a.m.

On this week’s edition of Tying It Together with Tim Boyum, we are checking in on North Carolina’s economy during this coronavirus pandemic. 

Five weeks ago we introduced you to a desperate restaurant owner, Leonardo Williams, and had N.C. State economist Mike Walden give us his predictions for the state’s economy. This week, we welcome them back for an update. 

Williams shares an incredible story about his own health, and Walden offers new insight on our economic future. 

We also talk with Attorney General Josh Stein about how the state is protecting us from price gougers and others looking to take advantage of the situation. Then we wrap things up with an update on Treasurer Dale Folwell, who spent five days in the hospital battling coronavirus.
