What I find amazing is we have been told for months to wear a mask, social distance, businesses forced to close, churches forced to go online but it’s ok to allow tens of thousands of people to run rampant thru city streets and politicians who keep telling us to help stop the spread are walking hand in hand with others and not a mask in sight.

They're terrified of being called racist. I support their cause, but gathering in the thousands right now is a really, REALLY bad idea. It's not racist to remind people that a virus doesn't give a damn about your race, religion, socio-economic status, or political views. As long as people are gathering together in crowds, it'll spread like wildfire. Period.

It's obvious, not amazing.  Only in America can your elected officials politicize a pandemic.  Pandemics are serious stuff and to intentionally manipulate the masses one way or the other for political scoring points is sickening.  Both sides are guilty, some more so than others.  I'll just leave it at that.

NC breaks record again. 1.3k new cases over the last 24 hours.

Do you have any idea of the testing increase amount (a raw number or percentage)?  I'm very curious to figure out the amount of tests being administered now relative to the number of prior positive cases.

Holding steady at 8-9% for the past 2-3 weeks. Hospitalizations have been slowly trending upward since May 10th. 442 on the 10th, 717 currently. Hospitals beds are 80% occupied, ICU beds at 84%. There isn't hospital capacity to account for these spikes we're seeing and the spikes ahead.

These are numbers for NC or Colorado where you live?

NC. I'll be back in NC by next weekend. Sell of the house officially closes next week. We'll likely boomerang back out west around this time next year. I just want to cash in our chips now and sit on cash.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services on Friday reported the highest daily increase in cases, with 1,289 new cases. The previous highest one-day increase was 1,189 set just the day before.

However, the state reported one of the highest daily totals of tests with 13,845 in the past 24 hours. That’s well over the state’s goal of 5,000 to 7,000 per day. The overall percent positive is around 9%.

They may have to back down the number of elective surgeries if the numbers keeps getting higher to create more room.

The state should be able to handle the case lode IF the overall positive amount doesn't get much higher than 10%.  I would venture to say anything over 13% would be trouble at the same testing rate.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
