I presume the elderly are no more likely to contract the disease, just more likely to suffer more serious consequences.
Georgia has moved from about 600 new cases per day to over 800 now, but hospitalizations have only edged higher, 804 to 827.
That might be expected if the new cases are mostly younger people, and the protesters were nearly all younger folks. The timing is about right.
We were having brunch Sunday at the place we like dining outside when a protest passed by, very well controlled and organized, probably 250 people, staying in two lanes of the four lane main drag here, so they only blocked southbound traffic. Roughly 60% were white. They were all young that I noticed.
A police car was in front and two were in back, mostly for traffic control, they hit the lights at intersections. That was Peachtree Street.
