College students, young people, and people from the surrounding rural and suburban red counties, who come to Athens to work, shop, do business and party at bars, are driving up infection numbers here.
Thankfully, our local school system is going to be all distance/online starting on September 8, pushed back from August 4. Theres no way I would send my child to school.
Stay safe and be well.
Edit: Kemp and the state health department have already been caught monkeying with the COVID19 numbers, graphs and statistics. Kemp is, no doubt, trying to hide the real numbers.

(61,408 posts)The epidemic is moving into those less populated states that refuse to take precautions, as predicted.
Overall, what's happening leads me to ask: is the United States the stupidest country in the world? We're acting like it.
