Over the past few months, we have seen remarkable progress in the fight against COVID-19. Our small businesses, manufacturers, and even schools have stepped up to produce necessary PPE for their communities and frontline providers. As of last month, Wilkes Community College Ashe Campus--located in my district--delivered over 741 3D-printed face shields to various locations in the High Country. Originally, this 3D printing endeavor was going to support Ashe Memorial Hospital, but now it has turned into a regional resource for healthcare providers across western North Carolina. To Mike Windish and Chris Kearley--the two engineering instructors at Wilkes Community College--and their colleagues who are spearheading this effort, thank you, and keep up the good work. ____________________
