1/ @APDillon_@jonpsanders@JohnLockeNC@markrobinsonNC@Chad_Adams NC C19 trends through 7/27/21. NCDHHS consistently modifies their dashboard (adds tests which ⬇️ incidence) and adds death data as far back as 6/20, & is no longer updating on weekends.
2/ Overall incidence is 7.26% and has never been at 5% since testing began; no statistically significant change since the mask mandate. Overall incidence 7/28/20: 7.56%, 7/27/21: 7.26%

1/ @APDillon_@Chad_Adams@jonpsanders@JohnLockeNC@PeteKaliner@DrKellyVictory I’m old enough to remember when we were told to stay home, wear masks in/outside, don’t go near anyone, b/c if we did any of that we “could kill grandma.”
2/ All of this is supposed to protect the vulnerable, right?
Yet there are current outbreaks at 135 SNF’s & 73 residential care facilities in NC as of 4/20/21.
Sure, NC is doing a bang up job of protecting the vulnerable 🙄

@APDillon_@andrewbostom@PeteKaliner@TracyBethHoeg@jonpsanders@JohnLockeNC 1/ NC SC-2 Trends thru 3/16/21 including current data on graphs to reflect trends. NCDHHS modifies dashboard w/# of tests/deaths (⬇️ incid); adds death data back to 6/20, no longer updates on wkends.
2/ Overall incidence ⬇️ to 8.17% (⬇️ 0.09%). Overall incidence has never been at 5% since testing began; no statistically significant change since the mask mandate.
But 1st let me preface data: as of 3/28, there are ~22,555 active Covid cases in ALL of NC.
2/ This means 0.215% of NC population has Covid. So 99.785% of NC pop does NOT have Covid; that’s ~10.467 MILLION people who don’t have Covid.

1/ @APDillon_@PeteKaliner@Chad_Adams NC SC-2 data post for 2/9/21 w/comparison to 2/2/21 in parentheses unless otherwise noted. I’m still playing catch-up; will try to be within 2 week window within a week!
2/ But FIRST, let me preface data w/ this: as of 3/9, there are ~26,484 active Covid cases in ALL of NC. This means 0.252% of NC pop has Covid. Said in a different way, 99.747% of NC population does NOT have Covid; that’s roughly 10.463 MILLION people who don’t have Covid.

1/ “... and he said that the school had taken legal advice and been told that they needed to be ‘seen’ to be mitigating risk.”
I believe that wholeheartedly.
2/ Ystrdy my kids had issue w/schl staff taking temp. Each time they’ve gone (today is day #5 since 3/13/2020; NOT by choice but b/c GOVERNOR won’t allow back in schl) they’ve had it taken from car, in ~30°-40° F, at wrist by request. 1 time got puzzled look but request was met.

1/ Cooper presser. Covid metrics. <1000 cases yesterday. Vax “fast and fair.” Huge milestone. Soon we can hug our loved ones w/out fear of severe illness.” (Aside: some of us never stopped/needed you permission to hug our loved ones.) Thanks vax administrators. We got nat’l recog
2/ for being fast/fair. More schls returning to in-person learning. Others pressing to get kids in schls. It’s a priority. (Aside: if it really was a priority, Cooper could mandate Plan A & tells districts to #FigureItOut.) More signs of hope. Positivity rate consistently ~5%.

1/ Cooper presser: NC metrics, vaccines (65+ and frontline workers). 3/10 more people eligible. More stdts returning to classroom. Getting kids into classrooms critical for their health. Schools serving 96% is stdts will offer in-school instruction (fails to mention NOT plan A).
2/ SB37: reiterates why he won’t sign, but doesn’t say he’ll veto. (Aside: if it really was about the KIDS, why is he stringing them along? Playing politics w/kids’ lives has deleterious long-term effects.) NC trends ⬇️ & stabilized. Cohen: we’ve used data to guide approach.

1/ @APDillon_@JohnLockeNC@NC_Governor@SecMandyCohen Let’s discuss NC Executive Order 180 (governor.nc.gov/documents/exec…) and the evidence/studies cited for having stricter guidelines, shall we?
2/ 1.1st study cited published 6/16/20: data examined included (+) rates 3/31-5/22 anywhere from 1-21 days after mask mandate. Study cites ⬆️ mask use/mandates for 15 states, DC, + 29 counties & NYC. See graphs to compare a few things: timeframe, curve shapes & timeframe to
