2020-03-29North Carolina Quarantine
In North Carolina, I am located 10 miles away from Raleigh. Wake County has closed all non-essential businesses, until April 17th. This is a huge loss in Raleigh's economy, let alone the world's. Raleigh is the hub for business personnel, dine-in cuisine, and leisure fun. 71/100 counties in North Carolina have at least one case of COVID-19. My county, Wake County, has over 134 reported cases. This is extremely scary, as we are such a small county, and people in fast food are still expected to work since they are considered "essential". It is a scary time for all of us, and especially those who are autoimmune compromised. Our Governor, Roy Cooper, has mandated a stay at home order for all who live in North Carolina. However, there is a lot of issues of people still going to the beaches on the coast and not social distancing. North Carolina police have begun to find people who are seen in groups larger than 5. It is to ensure that the virus does not spread to others, and keep the stay in home order a necessity. There is a bar graph to indicate the reported cases in North Carolina attached, and it was posted by David Raynor Source: NC DHHS and county health departments.
