Charlotte is definitely reopening.  30 shootings just this week.  8 people got shot just last night and one stubbing. 

And this is why I left the wonderful metropolis that has become the modern Charlotte.  Increased taxes, traffic and crime.  What's not to love about that?

Well...that’s a problem.

The Oxford University team in charge of developing a coronavirus vaccine said a decline in the infection rate will make it increasingly difficult to prove whether it’s been successful, the Telegraph reported.

“It’s a race against the virus disappearing, and against time,” Professor Adrian Hill, director of the university’s Jenner Institute, told the newspaper. “We said earlier in the year that there was an 80% chance of developing an effective vaccine by September. But at the moment, there’s a 50% chance that we get no result at all.”

Heard immunity was the only way to realistically get past this.

You don't know what heard immunity means.

Social distancing by largely confining everyone to their home was never going to work.

Stop spreading misinformation. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

I'm not the problem.  The problem is folks too scared to go on with their lives and trying to influence others to be like-minded and if not, shame them.  Should we have precautions? Absolutely!  The point has past to attempt to bubble wrap a nation the size of America.  Follow the safety protocols set forth by the local, state and federal governments and get on with everyday life as normally as possible.  For those who chose not to, that's your choice, but the rest of us whose lives have been adversely affected by this shutdown choose to move on with our lives and not wait for some unknown, arbitrary date in the future where it's "safe" to leave your house.

It's amazing how we as a species are so fast to forget history. Highly infectious novel respiratory diseases don't simply go away without second waves.

But, then again, most of the folks thinking this is all over now are probably used to ignoring history after so often finding themselves on the wrong side of it.

There are those people who still believe holocaust was fake and no one will change their mind.

Maybe they ought to test it in a place like NC where the rates of infection are rising rapidly.

We don’t really know what’s happening yet. Phase 2 just started yesterday. The higher “infection rate” mostly comes from the state exceeding its testing targets. More testing = more know infections. Before the lock downs, very few tests were being done. Our ‘estimated death total’ was revised down by 40% last week.

NC’s positive test rate continues to fall.

The number of Covid hospitalizations are rising some, but it’s hardly a spike. We won’t know the effects of easing restrictions for another two weeks.

Remember, lock downs were not implemented to eradicate the virus. It was just to ease the burden on hospitals.

Im just going on a hunch here, but I have a strong suspicion you aren’t a doctor or have any basic medical training. 
 

When did anyone announce, scientifically speaking of course, that this virus is coming to an end?

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
