Actually the numbers have NOT gone exponential and there is somewhat of an over-reaction around here. You can get the latest North Carolina figures at COVID-19 Case Count in North Carolina – NC DHHS
There have been no deaths in North Carolina and only 68 in the whole country with no sign of exponential growth. By contrast there have been over 12,000 deaths from the flu in the last four months , even though we have a vaccine.
