re: Is Georgia still around? I heard that they'd be a wasteland by now for opening up.

In Atlanta, people have flooded parks in the past couple of weeks. Restaurants in Midtown, VA Highlands, and Buckhead since last weekend have opened in a short-form capacity where there's a new social distancing layout inside, and a slightly more spaced out than normal patio outside.
There have been reports of COVID spikes but in comparison to how many people that have been out and about, it's not as bad as some would think.
I think carefully re-opening with precautionary measures has been good for the city. As a whole, people respect the spacing and understand the extra care behind some of the practices. Folks are happier out of the house, and as far as I've noticed, no one is abusing the privileges on both the proprietor and customer side.
Also, I've been back in the office now for what is currently my 2nd week... now I know cars aren't a true definition of wealth/status etc... but the majority of vehicles in our 90% empty deck are high-end vehicles (Maserati, Porsche, s500 Mercedes, Ranges, etc..). When I say majority, I mean virtually all. The smart money isn't sleeping through this pandemic or taking a break, which makes me think that the turnaround could be within the next 12 months.

I agree. Half the people are still scared sh!tless and it's depressing sometimes to have to continue to hear the false narrative again and again from these people. I know at least in Georgia, half our deaths were from nursing homes. Right now in the 14 day window, it's still looking good as far as infections staying on a downward trend. That could magically change depending on incubation and time to get tests back.
However, it was NEVER the case to shut down the country to keep everyone from getting this. It was never talked about IF people would get this but WHEN. Turns out they were even wrong about that. I think many more people have immunity to this than they ever dreamed of.
