Gov. Roy Cooper should put N.C. back to work. The numbers in North Carolina, both in numbers of citizens with the virus and the dead, are a tiny fraction of our 10.4 million population.

The models used to predict sickness and death have now been shown to be wildly exaggerated.

I live in Rowan County. Our median income is low. Most folks live paycheck to paycheck. Let all of us go back to work very soon.
