Based on NCDHHS numbers it would appear that there are NO active COVID-19 cases today. #NCPOL #COVID19NC
A caveat to that:
- The daily case counts maintain a gray area from 3/10 through 3/15 for lab reports. #NCPOL #COVID19NC

Gov. Cooper is deflecting from the N&O reporter question about why he issued mandates on K-12 re-openings but not colleges.

It's yet another example of how arbitrary the Governor's #SHEOs have been. When he wants to, he drops the hammer (bars, gyms) - assuming near-limitless power. But when he doesn't (nursing homes, meat processors, colleges) he pretends his power is limited.

The Secretary of Public Safety is impressive how he can speak for such long periods of time without saying a single thing.

Today I joined @realDonaldTrump during his tour of the @FujifilmDiosyn Biotechnologies' Innovation Center in Morrisville. Scientists at this facility are working on a #COVID19 vaccine from @Novavax which was awarded a $1.6 billion contract under #OperationWarpSpeed. #ncpol #NCGA
@realDonaldTrump @FujifilmDiosyn @Novavax NC’s position as a global leader in biotech and pharmaceuticals is in the spotlight during this tour. Republican-led #NCGA policies have strongly supported this important industry. #COVID19NC #ncpol #NCjobs
The NC @FujifilmDiosyn facility employs 500 workers with 2,500 employees worldwide, and produces a drug critical for manufacturing a potential @Novavax vaccine for #COVID19 that is expected to progress to phase two of clinical trials in August.
NC Health Secretary leads off today's briefing with a focus on long-term care & nursing home outbreaks.
Touts Governor's "decisive action" early on.

Reminder: States were advised to get tests done in all nursing homes in early May.
So, it seems NC is about 2 months late on this.

As #NCpol reporters dial into the @NC_Governor's #COVID19nc briefing, the #NCGov's comms team is sorting them into groups:
1. Those who will get to ask Qs
2. Those who won't
Gov. Cooper's team has been doing this for months while reporters asked why they're not getting to ask Qs.

@NC_Governor For months, reporters have been complaining on Twitter about why they're not getting called on to ask questions. And all that time, the #NCGov's comms team has been taking active steps to block them from getting that chance.
Fathom that level of deception.

@NC_Governor Had it not been for the @nsjnews investigating, nobody in the #NCpol press corps would've known (or probably cared) that Emergency Operations solicited a Democrat-aligned organizing firm to run these #NCGov briefings.
Does that seem odd to YOU? It does to me.

Check out the time stamp on when this story published... Shortly after midnight. Anyone else find that odd?
Like, were they given the info and told to sit on it till after midnight? Was that when the announcement was made? #COVID19 #SARScov2 #COVIDFL

Also, in the story it says one patient was only confirmed after they died. Was this person under quarantine prior to their death? Had they been in isolation?
Let's hope so, but the story doesn't actually say...This raises a dark possibility, though. 2/n

For weeks now I have heard epidemiologists and doctors say that without widespread testing in areas where there is known/suspected comm. transmission, there's a decent chance that there are cases and deaths from this virus going unreported.
