Before we started the economic shutdown statewide in Georgia, cases of COVID-19 were increasing at a rate of around 10% per day. Since we fully instituted stay-at-home orders, we have slowed that rate to around 3-5% per day.
Now that we are planning on reopening our state, one can infer that the infection rate will go back up, perhaps to the 10% level.
This means that by June 1 we will have one million cases statewide, and at least 40,000 deaths.
The math isn’t that complex.
What is Gov. Brian Kemp, or Gov. Bill Lee for that matter, thinking?
