Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
This could get interesting.
NC started phase 1 reopening May 8, with the phase 2 stage tentatively planned for May 22. Hospitalizations, by far the most indicative metric the state is tracking IMO, were trending down ever so slightly (a good sign), but there was a slight tick up yesterday and the worst day so far today. Not surprising as it reportedly takes 2-14 days to see new infections so it was going to take up to 2 weeks to see the influence of phase 1 changes.
They'll probably wait with fingers crossed and see what tomorrow brings regarding phase 2, but it could get interesting for our Governor who (like all of them) says they will follow the data. I sure hope we don't go all the way back to full lockdown - and I don't believe any Governor would now. All the states are between a rock and a hard place - coronavirus cases versus blown up state budgets and business & individuals stressed more every day.
