On March 10 I went to the FCUCC Book Club and the gym. By the end of that week we had a stay at home order. So it has now been 4 months living under covid restrictions.
This has lasted much, much longer than I expected. I thought by now we'd be going our to restaurants and entertaining. Not yet.
And, we've been fine.
We have been out to eat once - on the patio of Sol Y Luna. Other than that it's been takeout.
We have been out to listen to music a few times at Southern Appalachian Brewery, Point Lookout and St. Paul's.
As far as my list I am still reading my backlog of Economist and Foreign Affairs but the rest of my list has been completed.

Corona Virus: NC Phase 3
North Carolina was scheduled to begin Phase 3 on June 26. Phase 3 would reopen business like bars, gyms, bowling alleys, etc. to open. Other businesses and gatherings to be able to increase capacity.
Since Phase 2 the pandemic cases and deaths have been largely steady - perhaps a small rise. The percentage of positive cases also remains steady at 10% and it should be decreasing over time. So Cooper delayed Phase 3 and also mandated wearing masks in public spaces.
I thought he might implement a Phase 2 1/2. He did not.
I thought he would be criticized by the right. He was.
I thought this might hurt him politically but then surges in TX, FL and AZ have shown that a rapid reopening is a big mistake.
