NCDHHS: 'Too many are dying'

North Carolina -- North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services 12-16-2020 Tweeted this morning:

Too many North Carolinians are getting seriously ill from COVID-19. With more than 5,880 deaths, too many are dying. We are getting numb to these numbers. Take a moment to think about who they are. They are our neighbors, friends, & family members. They are people we love.
