I don't know what's going to happen in November but everyone is sick of Cooper and Dan Forest has been barnstorming the entire state campaigning non stop. I know that recently Cooper finally agreed to a debate when for the longest time he refused. His internal polling must be showing its tight or he's down. So I saw the ECU poll yesterday that had Trump +2 and Cooper +10. I understand NC splits regularly but there's no way in hell that's the case. No way Cooper is winning by 10 in Nov. He may win but it'll be close and mail in balloting is going to create problems in this state as well as everywhere.

What does this tell us?

Not true. Keeping people terrified and having the NC media portray him as the one who can save us all is his play.

Don't forget, he lives in a bubble and assumes that we are all stupid, and will swallow any narrative that he puts out in coordination with the leftist media in NC.

Sadly, many will.

Stop being so dramatic.

Who's terrified?

What media is portraying him as a savior?

That sounds good when you say it but it's not actually happening. Terror isn't reigning, and he's not being cast as Corona Jesus.

Who's terrified? Is that really an honest question? I don't know or necessarily agree that the media has gone so far as to anoint Cooper a savior, but if you don't know a decent amount of people are still terrified we are living in a different world than one another.

There are people who still haven't left their homes since this began. Over 6 months. There are definitely people still living in terror.

'Terror' is a loaded word.

Who hasn't left their home since this began? Some of the oldest and sickest among us. Nobody with a job to do is behaving this way. We know young people aren't. It's retirees, especially those at risk. Which is pragmatic.

There's a big difference between being pragmatic and 'living in terror'.

I think there could and should be limited fan attendance. It could be done safely, especially in outdoor venues. It would cause some discontent among fans complaining how unfair it is for some to go and some not, but I feel strongly that with decent planning, common sense, and social responsibility among fans it could be done very safely. I bet they could EASILY make 20 percent capacity safe, and for those too worried to attend, there's always tv.

Now I'm very biased, but not allowing families to attend an outdoor sport in an open venue is simply assinine.

I'm not digging back through his twitter feed but Alex Berenson highlighted a number of people maybe a month ago who had not left there homes since the beginning. Not his tweets mind you, just retweeting others who were stating this. They were all encouraging one another.

I know anecdotes don't mean much, but I personally know two families that haven't left home since this started. No existing issue or immunocompromised people in the family. They are parents in their late 30s or early 40s that worked from home already with kids under 10. Definitely the always afraid, helicopter mom types. In one case the husband goes out and gets groceries and whatnot, in the other, they've been solely delivery this whole time. Is that terror? I dunno, I guess that would depend on the definition. Paranoid, certainly. At the start of this with the uncertainty, I understood the behavior a little better, but now, I just wonder to what end can they continue to stay locked up, and what adverse affects it will have on their families.

I've experienced the same, my man. Most of those I know that are overly cautious, paranoid, terrified or whatever you wanna call them are middle aged healthy moms. Certainly not the elderly.

In my office, it's mostly the old patients who are just annoyed with this stuff and ask to remove their masks at some point during the appointment. They are the least paranoid to me. It's the younger ones (30s-50s) that I feel are gonna report me if I pull my mask down to get a breath while I'm talking to them. I've been a little surprised by that.
