I was guessing 5/15 at a minimum. Would not surprise me if around 5/8 they announced it would go through end of May. Hopefully mid-May they will have a path for the counties that don't have outbreaks, unfortunately i'm in Mecklenburg so will be under some sort of stay at home for the foreseeable future.packgrad said:

I am shocked the news out of NY antibody is not the headline on every site right now with the massive implications.wilmwolf80 said:
Fascinated by the push back on social media anytime there is any indication that the disease isn't as deadly as first claimed. Very smart people are providing very well reasoned arguments based on the additional data that keeps coming in, and people insist on shouting all of it down. As a human being, why would you not want this to be less deadly? Some of it is politics sure, but the group think fear mongering seems to be a condition as bad as the virus. Like everything in society, there are groups that want to force every issue to extremes. It must be black or white, yes or no, but it is very possible that this pandemic is both very deadly, but at the same time not nearly as deadly as first feared. But if you try to point that out, good luck, because you are a horrible person that doesn't care if people die.

Not lifting restrictions, extending order to May 8.
Germany showed a lockdown locked the R0 at 1. We are screwed.
If they use a positive case rate we will never get out. The more they test, the more cases they will find, as evidenced by EVERYWHERE.
Cohen is framing the data where staying flat in some metrics is ok. So that is positive.
It feels like saying May 8th is setting up a 2 week window starting today. Will see what governor says.
Phase 1
Phase 2 - 2-3 weeks after Phase 1
Phase 3 - 4-6 weeks after Phase 2 (earliest if we start Phase 1 is June 19th)
Actual dates are my own estimates, Roy just said the time period in each phase.
Education announcement is tomorrow.

Are you really shocked? The media wouldn't dare withhold that headline if it fit their narritive. The fact remains that you will see very little, if any, good news coming from the media. I pissed a lot of people off the other day on a board by showing them the deaths for general population and nursing homes, etc. Some don't want to see any change and that includes 99% of the media.

Took a while to get there. The news came out before noon, I bounced around sites this afternoon (even Fox News) and while they all had it, it was a side item.RunsWithWolves26 said:ncsualum05 said:Well this might stoke anger but it is the front headline on foxnews.com.RunsWithWolves26 said:Wayland said:I am shocked the news out of NY antibody is not the headline on every site right now with the massive implications.wilmwolf80 said:

I still can't see how Phase 1 is different than what we are in now, since no additional businesses are allowed to open in Phase 1.
So essentially the stay at home is until May 22nd. Except starting May 9th (MAYBE), you don't HAVE to stay at home, you just can't go anywhere new? Confusing.
Similar numbers in Mass:statefan91 said:
I can't get over the fact that 61% of the deaths have been in Congregate living facilities vs. 39% across the rest of the general public.
Agree. We should move to Phase 1 immediately.King Leary said:
My biggest issue with this plan is that there almost NO difference in what we're currently doing and what occurs in Phase 1.
I don't disagree with extending the stay at home order, but phase one is total bs. Essentially Cooper is saying in 4-5 weeks we can start to loosen restrictions...
I don't think this decision is wise given the data we're seeing.
How is it feasible that we will have a leveling or decreased trajectory if they are continually expanding testing? If you are increasing your denominator of tests, of course the # of positives will increase. The next bullet is around % of positive which seems much more of a valid metric:Quote:
- Sustained Leveling or Decreased Trajectory of Lab-Confirmed Cases Over 14 Days
- Currently, North Carolina's trajectory of lab-confirmed cases over the last 14 days cases is still increasing, although at a slower rate.
Quote:
- Sustained Leveling or Decreased Trajectory in Percent of Tests Returning Positive Over 14 Days
- Currently, North Carolina's trajectory in percent of tests returning positive over the last 14 days is increasing at a slow rate.

Looking forward to digestion. My uneducated eyes don't see the justification for today's decision.
You have to expand testing to testing of people who do not display symptoms. Eventually, you can get the percentage positive to decline. Currently, over past 7 days we have had 14% test positive which means they are not testing enough of the general population. The percent positive should be closer to 10%.Wayland said:statefan91 said:

They gave themselves a huge out on the levelling, and Cohen even stressed that positive case rate was more important than overall positives, just for that reason. As they expand testing they will find more positive, especially since DHHS removed some of the limitation recommendations on testing (65 older, congregate, severe, healthcare only).
That being said, I still don't love positive cases in any capacity as a metric, unless you see some kind of outlandish spike and or test rate. As evidenced by NY antibody (and others) testing, this is WAY more widespread. And any increased testing is going to lead to a roughly linear increase in positive cases.
The virus is flat-lining right now. It's not growing nor is it diminishing... been this way for 3 weeks... that is WITH all the measures... so imagine where it would be WITHOUT the stay at home measures... back to exponential growth. Then imagine what happens to an economy that has lost .1% of the population... or maybe even 1%. We don't know. Nobody does, so all you guys with your gung ho surety are embarrassing yourselves... the fact is we don't have a ****ing clue b/c we haven't been through something like this in any of our lifetimes. It's scary, but the economy is ****ed no matter how it gets sliced here, so we might as well accept it, put our newfound free time to use, stop complaining, plant a ****in garden, and get ready for some tough ****, cuz it's here.ncsualum05 said:Why are more people not bringing this up? I thought about this yesterday. It's clear we have not overrun the hospitals and it's not armageddon. But it's also clear that this virus is still spreading.

Long enough to know that we can't literally stop this virus from spreading.Daviewolf83 said:
