Although a state public health graphic appeared to show the number of new coronavirus infections dropping every day over a two-week period, in actuality, there has been no such decline, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In fact, the numbers have been flat in Georgia's five counties with the highest coronavirus numbers, the newspaper reported.
“It’s just cuckoo,” Democratic state Rep. Scott Holcomb, told the AJC. He sent a letter about the inaccuracies Monday to the governor’s office. “I don’t know how anyone can defend this graph as not being misleading. I really don’t,” he said.
There are a couple big things wrong/not readable with the way this @GaDPH graph is presented, like:
-X axis isn't chronological
-Counties aren't in same position each day
....
The graphic had dates scrambled out of chronological order from April 27 to May 9. It also presented Georgia's five counties reporting the highest COVID-19 numbers out of order from day to day, giving the appearance of a downward slope in cases.

that rearranged ups and downs over the past few months to show steady decline -- almost to zero. Check the X axis!
People wanted to know in what world one week could have 2 Sundays and weeks in April could come before those in March. Not even in Georgia, and Republican election thief Brian Kemp's administration was blasted for its corruption and its contemptuous and contemptible attempts to deceive the public.
Unbelievable without understanding what today's massive Republican corruption means. It's not just Georgia. It's just that Kemp's particularly inept. No doubt all the others are angry at him for alerting their citizens.
