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

Cases will rise. Deaths will rise. The media will focus on this for ratings and fear.

But as long as hospitals are not overwhelmed, it's all perfectly fine. We are never going to eliminate this Chinese disease through lockdown.

Agreed, and I support Georgia opening up. It's good for them to take the initiative.

This^^. The issue is not necessarily rising cases overall, but the severity of the illness, i.e. hospitalizations and vent patients. Remember, the "stay at home" orders and placing the entire country under quarantine were started in an effort to "flatten the curve" and avoid Covid overwhelming the medical system. That has largely been accomplished. W/ increased testing there will be increased confirmed cases, but if hospitalizations and vent patients are not increasing, increasing cases can be tolerated to a degree, as long as the health system's not overwhelmed. .
