What are the demographics of the cases and deaths? Of those hospitlized? What percentage of those that have tested positive have been hospitalized? What percentage of those have died? Just looking at total numbers doesn't give you the whole picture.
 
Oh **** it does look like Augusta is mandating masks based off the late news. Well, it's definitely good my mom bought some more masks, hopefully they're in soon.

I guess this might be unpopular but if I do go back to school this fall, I'll likely have to do hybrid (I've been leaning that way because I've been anticipating masks being mandated). I just know I'll have to because it's going to be a minute for me to adjust. I did an interview and masked up for that (I'm at the point where I don't think there's much cause here but I did it for experience because I want to be better for my next try if I can go back to school) and for the 15 minutes I had mine on, I lost my breath while talking for a second and had a headache. Well, maybe part of the reason I did was also thinking about what happened this morning with my mom's crazy family.
 
Not liking these numbers in Georgia. Our school district has given us 2 options, virtual academy or in school with no mask mandate. We haven’t pushed back our start date either, going back Aug 3. We have until this coming Monday night to make our decision and the district hasn’t even communicated any plans with parents. Our daughter is going into 7th and wants to go back, she wouldn’t be a bus rider so that helps alittle.
 
Plenty other stories just like this one.. please stop this nonsense saying this disease is just a bad flu:

This really isn’t surprising at all, I remember many people just last week clinging onto the idea that Covid was “losing its punch” because death rates weren’t high, although it was pretty obvious even then, deaths will lag case increases.

I'm a former substitute teacher. I saw one of my teacher friends today on a grocery store run. She literally rolled her eyes and wouldn't talk to me anymore after she asked if we sending our boys back to school and I said no. Well the hubby is a diabetic and I see how schools and kids are petri dishes. She was a 1st grade teacher for several years before moving to 6th grade and I swear her tables were only cleaned when she had a sub. I can only imagine how this will spread in her room and around the school

I was grabbing a sandwich from firehouse yesterday, and overhead a guy saying to his co-worker while eating that he's planning on going in with 10 other families in his neighborhood and hiring a teacher as theirs. 6 - 8 k per family over 10 families and that teacher has a good salary.

Something to chew on...

Also 47 new deaths.
 
Unfortunately, as expected from premature reopening and people not taking this seriously (including believing and promulgating conspiracy theories about not wearing masks), hospitals are starting to exceed capacity in perts of the US, the latest being Houston, TX. The death rate will increase substantially as medical supplies become increasingly more scarce.

Had a gem copy/paste on my Facebook today that said if you were sick in 2019 you have already had coronavirus and have nothing to fear. These facebook doctors have it better figured out than the top doctors in the world. Thankful to have social media to answer my questions

They saved alot of money by not going to med school too. Genius!

Houston is also a very underserved area and has a large minority population. Along with Florida I can see it becoming scary wrt death rates. This is truly sad to see and it was preventable.
