Subject:   Georgia stats as of this morning
Date:   5/14/2020 8:19:44 AM

Georgia cases per million - 3,337

Top 4 states cases per million - 11,000 to 18,000

 

Georgia deaths per million - 143

Top 4 states deaths per million - 771 to 1,403

So for you left wing nuts decrying the relaxation of the shelter in place and closures I would point out that the four worst states closed earlier and are still closed. And Georgia's position on both these lists has actually improved a bit since the new requirements were put in place.  Which does not surprise me as we saw with the study in NY that 65% of the infections occurred at home.  I know this kills you leftists that want the economy to be completely destroyed to feed your TDS but it is what it is.  And while there are no guarantees I am optimistic that we will continue to move down the curve.  And if circumstances change the Governor will respond appropriately.

I would also remind you, because you are likely ignorant of reality, that there was one purpose for the restrictions and one purpose only.  To not overwhelm our hospital system's ICU beds and ventilators.  It was never and could never eliminate people from ultimately being infected.  It could however, reduce the apex of the case curve and extend it out over a longer period of time so the health care system would not be overwhelmed and on that score it has accomplished that goal at tremendous and long lasting economic cost. 

There are only three ways to end viral infections: 1) an effective vaccine which is 12 to 24 months away (if ever); 2) the virus dies out in the summer and does not return like we saw with SARS; or 3) herd immunity.  In the meantime, our best hope is that treatment regimens are developed that are effective in preventing deaths as much as possible.
