Statement from Sen. Berger on the Pandemic

Raleigh, N.C. — Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) today released the following statement:

“Governor Cooper should explain what his administration’s overarching strategy is. Is his strategic endgame to prevent much of the population from ever becoming infected? Does he believe that is possible?

“Or is his strategic endgame to manage the virus as it naturally spreads through the population — to protect the highest-risk groups while seeking herd immunity through the young and healthy first?

“We need a view into the administration’s thinking. What goal is driving his policy decisions? What does he think is achievable?”
