“Cases [in the U.S.] still continue to expand, and some of that is [due to] the fact that we’re testing more,” former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said Wednesday on NBC’s The Today Show. Gottlieb cautioned that “this is an epidemic that hasn’t run its course nationally, and hasn’t really started to show sustained declines outside of the New York region.”
quote:

In particular, Georgia and Florida, which were projected to see a sharp rise in new cases, have not experienced major new outbreaks in the past week. The average number of new daily cases in Florida declined by 14 percent over the past week, and Georgia’s average new daily cases dropped by 12 percent during the same time period, according to an analysis by Axios.


Googling "Georgia Coronavirus Cases" brings a mixed bag of opinions it seems.

37 billion people in Georgia died last week from the Boomer Doomer (XiNN reporting).

The overall population of Georgia was 10 million or so before the Rona ...

But we're doing just fine.

It will be interesting to watch.

Remember that the data is generally about 2 weeks behind where it is today.

News isn’t covering anything so I’m assuming it means it’s good

"The data on new cases is imperfect because of variations betweens states in the amount and frequency of coronavirus testing"



That says everything

Knock on wood, Tennessee is doing well. The state has picked up the tab for testing, so anyone can get one for free, which will help track the virus in poor, rural counties.

Don't let the media, social or otherwise, mislead you, things are doing well here in Georgia. Believe me, there are no body dumps or mass graves and people aren't falling ill all over the place and overrunning the hospitals.

You still see some unusual things, one for me is the folks running around in masks of all sorts and gloves but that's fine, if it makes them feel better go for it. It's time to get back to business and Georgia is well on the way to doing just that

Checked in safe of fb once I made it though.

So far there has been an increase in testing and a continued downtrend in new cases, percent positives, deaths, and hospitalizations. It's still early and wouldn't be surprising to see an uptick in any or all of those metrics. Hopefully if that happens it won't deter the state from the safest course of action, which is to aggressively restart the economy and the healthcare system.

Ignoring the dangerous effects of this shutdown was a mistake and it should be reversed as soon as possible IMO. They should concentrate on helping the long term care facilities and other high risk groups, and strongly encourage the rest to go back to work.

Amazing and when they pull out the obligatory praise about Cuomo they ALWAYS mention how the RATES of cases/deaths are decreasing but when the MSM talks Georgia or Florida they CONTINUALLY talk about they total deaths and cases increasing.

I will say that an Uber lib writer in Politico actually praised DeSantis (for now) and lately Cuomo is actually starting to get scrutinized by a couple of MSM organizations.

Don’t care. Can’t stop the virus. We built up hospital capacity, PPE, ventilators, etc. that was the whole point of stay at home order..to allow time to prepare for what is inevitable in a functioning society. Georgia headed back to functional..lib states simply postponing what will happen anyway, all while damaging their economies

Everything is fine. Can’t speak for metro Atlanta, which may be different due to population density.

We’re actually heading to a nonessential store shortly. #YOLO

Unfortunately the media has scared everyone enough that the places that have opened are still having a drastic drop in customers
