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.

NC DHHS Secretary saying again that the statewide mask mandate is the reason why the numbers have declined.
No reporter will challenge her on this.

Democratic Governor pauses from criticizing the Republican #NCGA & Republican President to say he won't tell us if he'll debate his opponent... because he refuses to engage in politics during his #COVID19NC briefings.
