This week our state and the country are reporting record high case numbers and hospitalizations. I have a stark warning for North Carolinians today: We are in danger. This is a pivotal moment in our fight against the coronavirus. Our actions now will determine the fate of many. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have 339,194 cases; 2,419 new cases reported since yesterday; 1,601 people in the hospital, and sadly 5,039 people who have died. We’ve passed the grim benchmark of losing more than 5,000 North Carolinians to COVID-19. They will not be forgotten. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve now lost more than 5,000 North Carolinians to COVID-19. Each death represents a parent, child, friend and neighbor whose families and communities are in mourning. This cruel virus doesn’t care if we’re tired of it — we need to recommit our efforts to stopping its spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, NC's daily case count jumped to the highest number we’ve seen yet — 4,296. We have to double down on our efforts to slow the spread of this virus. It’s more important than ever to wear our masks, stay socially distant and have smaller and safer plans for the holidays. — PolitiTweet.org

The percentage of North Carolinians testing positive for COVID-19 is increasing. Now is not the time to give up and let more people get sick. Now is the time to re-commit to taking this virus seriously. https://t.co/P63PRRONV2 — PolitiTweet.org

REMINDER: @NCDHHS has revised criteria for reporting COVID-19 hospitalizations in compliance with new CDC guidelines. With this definition, North Carolina saw a one-time increase in hospitalizations on Nov. 13 and will likely see a continued higher number. https://t.co/lyVicEY559 https://t.co/aKsioRAFBl — PolitiTweet.org

Hospitals in other states are at or over capacity with people experiencing COVID-like symptoms. While North Carolina hospitals have capacity right now, they are feeling the strain – particularly in the Triad. https://t.co/cbWGhSqGe5 — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s COVID-19 metrics. The actions we take over the next few weeks will determine whether we can prevent the large surge in cases other states are seeing. Let’s be smart, mask up and protect each other. https://t.co/kmt26uVQWs — PolitiTweet.org

Testing is one of the best tools we have to slow the spread of this virus, especially as college students go home for the holidays. North Carolinians are encouraged to get tested and can find no-cost testing sites in communities across the state here: https://t.co/QWeXa9fMuf — PolitiTweet.org

North Carolina has implemented the COVID-19 County Alert System to identify counties with the highest levels of viral spread. It’s going to take all of us working together and taking the virus seriously this holiday season to avoid having to go backward. https://t.co/6Cnatusx1n https://t.co/BxPVhQv2El — PolitiTweet.org

So, let’s stick with what we know works. Wear a mask, wash your hands, wait 6 feet apart. Be smart about your Thanksgiving plans. Your community may benefit or suffer from your decisions. Remember – this pandemic won’t last forever, but our strength and resilience will. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Now is not the time to give up and let more people get sick and die. Now is the time to re-commit to taking this virus seriously, and that means changing our holiday plans to be smaller and safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Letting the virus win now, with vaccines coming so soon, is like punting at the 10-yard line. That’s foolish. We need to reach this goal line together. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

With two vaccines on the horizon with more promise than health officials even imagined, North Carolinians have more reason than ever to be hopeful. That hope must drive our efforts to bridge the gap and slow the spread of this virus until vaccines help us snuff it out. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I know that months and months of acting carefully has made people tired. And the caution and care of the early days of this pandemic have given way to more relaxed behavior. But we cannot let weariness win. — PolitiTweet.org
