This is driving me crazy.

2. I know it's an uphill battle here in NC

for our Democratic governor and the Director of Health. They are trying to be guided by data but the pushback is enormous, and again this comes down to a failure of the media. Small fringe-y protests get splattered all over the news, then restless people think okay, I'm going out.

This is where the local leader of OpenNC said he would kill if necessary. NC is where the republicans have fucked up this state for 10 whole years now.

I don't feel sorry for the people who will get infected because they're stupid and have a completely twisted concept of freedom. I do feel sorry for their innocent victims and the people who will risk their own lives to care for them in overwhelming circumstances.

It's the 2nd day in a row that the News and Observer reported that the rise in cases is due to an increase in testing. I have to let it go now because it frustrates me thoroughly.
