“The virus is. not going away,” Carney said.
He noted that while those over 65 are the most vulnerable, the disease can ravage younger people in some cases.
Carney said he has seen more people being less careful, including sports teams practices. He pointed out a troubling resurgence of cases in North Carolina.
