I'm going to track the reported moving averages.  Another factor of course is that more testing is being done.

https://www.ajc.com/news/coronavirus-georgia-covid-dashboard/IjORDGLckdP3RI9hJU5CWO/

Using these figures, the 7 day moving average is 613, the ten day MA is 696 (I had a small error before).  The peak date thus far was on 4/7 at 1,600 new cases.

I'm more interested in percentage of positive tests. As more and more tests are completed, the case count could rise, particularly among those who show little to no symptoms. It seems obvious that daily cases will rise as testing is increased.

And if the rates do increase, it will be blamed on "opening" up the state, which may not be accurate.

We need the antibody tests more than anything, in my opinion.

235,000 tests conducted cumulatively.  32,568 were positive, about 10%.

Number of tests is going up much faster than number of positives for obvious reasons.

The state population is about 10.6 million.  Oddly enough, 60% of the population lives in metro ATL.

The weather today is perfect.

I don't know about the restaurants here in Lincoln, but I just got back from a grocery run to Walmart ( I can't believe there was absolutely NO Worchestershire sauce in the entire store! Who uses that much?) and had to dodge a kazillion people out getting last minute flowers / candy for Mother's Day, and a lot of people getting hot dogs, etc.  Looks like there will be a lot of grilling out this year instead of restaurant food.  Makes it feel like Father's Day, lol.  

Our local surgical hospital is allowing elective surgeries again and so my cataract surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. I have also been able to postpone lab work for medication refills so have not had to go to the clinic as yet.  Traffic is almost the same as it was two months ago and in public it is about 50/50 on the wearing of masks; some do, some don't.  

The major problem for my family has been that vacation plans, Mom's internment and a family reunion have all been cancelled or postponed to a later day.  We are all so far flung that it would require us to cross state lines and thus incur a two week self isolation upon returning home; none of us are financially able to do that, so no traveling for us.  

I am running out of old Husker games to watch, so am now recycling back through and watching more TV shows on Netflix or DVD's I have.  Have already cycled through eight different book series I own and started a new series through my library on Hoopla Digital.  

In other words, all this hasn't affected my retirement much, lol.

Everything is pretty plentiful here. Went to Publix (grr) this AM to get flowers and a couple of things I can't get elsewhere. 

Unbelievably, they were out of TP (I don't need any, but went down that aisle to get napkins). 

I don't get it.

Bought some hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes at Ace yesterday, so there's that. Lots of stores are selling surgical masks too. CVS had loads of them. My wife has some that she made so we're good. If anyone needs a mask (hers are pretty nice) PM me.

My kids used to send me flowers on Mother's Day.  Now they send them to their stepmom, who they like a lot.

I am not sure why she married me, frankly.

We have some surgical masks.  I wear one if I am near someone, like in the elevator, out of courtesy.

That's when you're supposed to wear it, lol.  When I go to the post office, I put it on as i get out of the car.  I take it back off as I get back in my car.  

No rights taken away.  No liberties forfeited.  Just common sense and 7 minutes of the most minimal of discomfort.

I'm not concerned regarding rights taken away or liberties.

I just feel it's unneeded.  For me or others in public.

If the governor decides I am required to wear one, I won't have a problem with it.

if others feel better while wearing a mask, that's great.

if others feel they are at risk if I'm not wearing a mask, they probably shouldn't be out in public where they might encounter me.

if I had ANY reason to think I might have the virus, I would limit my time outside the house and I'd wear a mask if I was forced to be near anyone else
