North Carolina is setting records with the number of new cases we’re confronting each day and that is why Gov. Roy Cooper announced Tuesday that we’re staying in Phase 3 of our reopening for a little longer. It was a terrible blow to the businesses waiting for the next stage of reopening. Worse, the governor reduced the limit on indoor gatherings to 10.
