"Our baseline of daily infections now, even though it's way down from where it was, 300,000-plus per day, is down to around 70,000. That baseline's too high."
A new executive order that went into effect on Friday ended a statewide curfew and lets bars fill up to 30% of their indoor capacity. Indoor gatherings went from 10 to 25 people. The average number of new cases in North Carolina has been declining, with 2,636 new cases reported Saturday, the lowest number since mid-November. The state's COVID-19 dashboard did not update with new statistics on Sunday.
Insane!
Power hungry dictator....
The ease of restrictions in NC did not go far enough.
Fauci admittedly lied in order to manipulate people’s behavior, and has flip flopped more than John F’in Kerry. Why any rational human being with a shred of dignity would listen to a word he says is beyond me.
Now how would he know the presence or the rate of transmission of the fake disease in every state of the union ?
Living in NC I’d say things were a little tight last March - but since then we’ve been pretty relaxed for the most part.
We’ve been going out to eat at our normal places since then.
Walk in with a mask on, get to your table, take it off, have a normal meal and then put it on when you leave.
The regular Cashiers in all the local stores, who get exposed to more people a day than teachers would, are all still working.
Time to end the madness.
He looks like a nazi.
Here in the OBX NC, infection rates are down considerably, business are hurting. Gov. Cooper has eased some restrictions, however younger folks need to take some responsibility with social distancing. Health Dept. seems to think that contact spread is causing the infection rate.
extradite him to Peru for his death sentence.
Yeah, well, we have been “bending the curve for 3 weeks” for a year now.
It is way past time for this to be over.
I think now is the time to revisit any governor’s emergency powers. Not just Royboy’s. I am suggesting that after 3 weeks of a declared emergency the legislature do its job and vote to extend or end the emergency, and do so every 3-4 weeks thereafter.
What we have been living with has been an awful joke of “science”.
He gave it a political agenda that he controlled.
One word from his lips and the world went into hysterics.
Shut up. Shut up. Go away. Go away. Shut up. Shut up. Go away. Go away.
Take your huge salary and your, “Do what I say, not what I do,” and get out of regular people’s lives for ever and ever.
Here in Western NC, most folks have been ignoring many of Fauci’s dictates.
We still have many restaurants with limited seating, but others have put up plexiglass shields between booths and are at full capacity. Most folks are wearing masks, but not all, especially in Lowe’s & Home Depot.
The State keeps sending me a message to download their “Covid-19 Tracking App”, to let me know if I’ve been in contact with anyone testing positive. Creepy!
No thanks.
Our Socialist Guvner Roy Cooper here in NC will be glad to suck....up to Falseci.
And states like FL, the Dakotas, and NH which have basically never locked down or did so briefly and have been open for months, are doing just fine.
Someone please do something about this dweeb.
Compared with "suitably premature?"
It is premature to haul Dr. Fauci before a firing squad, but the time might be right by Thursday or Friday. . . . /sarc
He needs to follow the science and get his facts straight, we are falling under 70,000 per day in a precipitous drop-off. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailytrendscases
