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?

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

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

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

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
