By a large margin, this is the largest # of new cases in GA reported on any day so far.

Tue-Wed periods (GA):

....................Cases....Hosp....iCU....Deaths
2 weeks ago: 1,616........221.......41........81
1 week ago: 3,453.......360.......51........50
.. This week: 4,820.......451.......68........43

Hope you and your dad recover quickly and completely. Glad it hasn't been terrible for you yet and certainly pray things will get better and not worse
 
Texas reports 8,076 new cases and 57 new deaths. The hospitizations rise by 371 to 6,904.
 
Speaking of kids, I wonder how many "kids" we have , if any, on this forum. Since kids is a subjective and arbitrary term, I would say anyone under 25. Feel free to post your ages and we can do a completely unscientific poll on the subject! ?

I joined Talkweather/AmericanWx (EDIT: Wait, EasternWx, actually) originally back when I was 16 in 2009, so I imagine we have quite a few.

Deaths continue to trend slightly downward week over week, but it’s unclear how much longer that can continue with the huge case loads we’re continuing to see with no end in sight, it seems.
