PREDICTION:
NC Republicans get temporary accolades for bringing Apple here. Solely in service to praise Cooper for cooperation.

Soon, status quo returns & GOP is target of derision by the very people who benefit from importing hundreds (or thousands?) of leftists.

#NCpol
Cooper has proven repeatedly he'll use corporate power to extort & bully #NCGA lawmakers into caving to the left.
This behavior will get worse & employed by more & more elected Democrats.
Maybe we should ask: "Why is Apple the kind of corporate partner NC wants?"

#NCpol
I assume the celebration today won't be marred with unseemly questions or examination about Apple's use of Chinese slave labor camps to manufacture their products.
I'll assume there won't be discussion of Communist Party $ & infiltration into colleges, either.

#NCpol #NCGA
I've been against these corporate incentive deals for two decades.
But they're even worse when the corporation is as terrible as Apple.

But, congrats Democrats!
I suspect you're on your way to retaking control of the #NCGA & driving us backward with your old policies.

#NCpol
In case anyone cares about who @NC_Governor & #NCGA are dealing with...

Beginning in mere moments... @NC_Governor Roy Cooper's COVID briefing.
I will live-tweet here.
Apologies for non-#NCpol followers. :)
You can watch the carefully-managed theater here:
ncdps.gov/news-conference
Gov:
952k cases
1,963 new cases since
1,168 hospitalized
12,480 dead

We continue to make progress.
Stable trends. But numbers are not yet declining.
Our strong protocols are why we avoided surge overwhelming hospitals.
We struck the right balance.

#NCpol
Gov:
CDC says we're among best in low deaths AND low job losses.

We want to make 2/3 of adults vax'd.
We could lift all restrictions by June 1.
Plan to order EO next week for month of May.

Gov. Cooper at COVID briefing:

Dangerous variants.
We're consulting with health experts. Science & data.
Soon we'll give you a forecast of things you can do safely for July 4th.
Lots of vax'd. We're doing better than even we predicted!

#NCpol
Gov:
Convince friends & families to get vax.
Most common side effect of vax is pure joy.
I've seen sparkle in peoples' eyes when they get it.

#NCpol
Health Sec. Cohen:
Here are the metrics. Two green checks and two yellow lines.

We've added new colors to our color-coded county alert maps.
No red counties. Great news.

Fast & fair.
We've gotten national recognition for equity.

NC Governor's COVID briefing getting underway.
Watch here:
ncdps.gov/news-conference

I'll be live-tweeting.
#NCpol
Gov:
889k cases
1002 hospitalized

Numbers have remained relatively low & stable.
Trends look good, but keeping watchful & concerned eye on COVID variants in our state - they could spread more easily & make us sicker.

Do the 3Ws.

#ncpol
Gov:
3.4 m doses administered so far
Increased % of Black & Hispanic recipients.

CDC says we're in top 10 of states for equitable distribution. That's fair.

Today we expand eligibility to people with medical conditions that put them at high risk.
