North Carolina reported 691 new cases of the coronavirus Thursday -- the state's highest daily count since the pandemic started -- and, according to the state’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), confirmed cases reached upward of 17,000 Friday, one week into phase one of its reopening plan.

The first phase of the three-phase plan included a modified stay-at-home order that allowed people to leave the house for nonessential reasons. Parks were allowed to reopen and people could gather in groupings of 10 or less. Face masks are still encouraged to be used.Hospitalization trends have leveled over the past 14 days and the daily testing rates have doubled.

The state's second phase lifts all stay-at-home orders but encourages vulnerable people to continue to practice staying at home. Restaurants, bars and fitness centers are expected to start reopening during this time, as well, with new guidelines in place for social distancing.

The governor needs to demand real virus numbers like Colorado governor!!! This whole virus numbers thing has been nothing but lies & BS.

Love these comments. More and more Americans realize the bullshit between trying to draw a parallel with cases increasing when there's no proportional increase in deaths and hospitalizations.

Too early for this to be a result of phase 1

Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci are behind the Pandemic. Bill owns the patterns for this Corona Virus that was created by Fauci who's also responsible for Aids spreading across the world Please watch and share this it is very important

DONT FORGET TO TUNE IN TOMORROW TO HEAR OBAMA’s address to the graduating classes of the United States. They wanted him to speak, a smart, educated, classy TRUTHFUL man and great president, and not this creepy disgrace we have as our fake president.

No surprise there. Dr. Fauci has mentioned on numerous occasions this virus is by no means under control. Time will tell. Sadly, many more will die while Trump preaches his crazy rhetoric.

We had to learn to live with HIV and we can protect ourselves from that if we chose. We have to live with covid and we can protect ourselves: social distance, don’t touch face, wash hands, mask. It is very simple. Covid doesn’t kill everyone.

What a BS story. NC tested 12000 people yesterday so naturally there would be more tests. The positive test rate in NC has been falling for days. This is kind of fake news you’d see on CNN.

Easy for that to be orchestrated. I don’t know the answer but....
