Im a little confused. Did something happen there the last few days to prompt this ? 10 million+ people in NC and 3 dead. Seems like its not that bad there.
That's why they are issuing it. So, we can hopefully keep that number as low as possible.

I mean it seems like whatever NC has been doing before today is working so why change anything ?

Roy Pooper happened that’s what... this isn’t the politics thread though. I bet vast majority of N.C. counties aren’t gon be too happy with him .
It’s a sad day in our history when we declare Mc Donald’s and GameStop “essential” over the gym or the barber shop. That’s what’s wrong with America and perhaps the entire world.

Wrong.... I am in a semi-rural area and I approve of what he is doing with the state.

It's called getting ahead of the curve.
You realize he is also working with county leaders as well, so it's not like he's doing with zero guidance. Plus, this really isn't going to change how we go about our lives. It just puts fines into place for people who aren't following the mandates.
The correct answer is the health workers are urging him more and more. Nothing political. Nobody wants to have to use a trash bag as PPE against this virus.

Fines for who ? The guy going on a run, a drive around the country ? Or the business still open when it shouldn’t ? Screw authoritarianism ... I much preferred it when counties did what they needed to do at the more local level... but hey, I’m not the expert just voicing my thoughts . I’d imagine he had smart people advising him.
Again, this isn't really changing what businesses are closing or staying open. People really need to start looking at the larger picture, instead of complaining. Obviously, leaving it up to each county isn't enough. (see GA, AL)

With all due respect but since when are you the vast majority of N.C. counties lol!

The concept of reactive versus proactive. One is better than the other

In the world I come from, it's much better on the proactive side, rather than the reactive side.
What makes you think it is working? What evidence is there of this, considering the timelines this disease is working on?

There's only been 3 deaths out of 10+ million. That to me says something is working.

Another interesting model that projects states medical needs.
t.co
COVID-19 US state-by-state projections
IHME’s COVID-19 projections were developed in response to requests from the University of Washington School of Medicine and other US hospital systems and state governments working to determine when COVID-19 would overwhelm their ability to care for patients.
