I won't be complaining about grocery stores lines or shortages anymore....

I can't imagine...we are really spoiled in my area with plenty of stores.

Wow, yes Sherry we are indeed fortunate!
We went on an Alaska cruise several years ago and went into Hoonah which is across Icy Strait from Gustavus. It’s so spectacularly beautiful but very remote.

Good point Sherry, people in remote areas have to really be struggling.

Things seem to be getting better at my grocery stores though, little by little.

I could have swore I read that the numbers in GA actually increased after opening.

The graph on the Georgia state website shows it going down. However, it also says it's there is a 14 day window for reporting case results.

That's very likely. It depends on the agenda of the source you are reading Lol

Apparently, Georgia reported the numbers in a way to make it appear cases were decreasing. In addition, there's data that despite that state opening, the majority of people are staying home.

This non-partisan site is a good reference (one of many): https://www.covidactnow.org/us/ga
I've been watching the counties that reopened in my State ---that were adjacent to "high rate" counties that remain closed---turn red over the last week. I live very close to DC so my county has been a hot spot from March and from what I've observed, people are complying with the rules while they are in the County. The numbers are improving slightly. Sadly, the highest infection rates in my County are highest in the lower income zip code areas (more shared housing, folks who are in essential service industries, etc).

The CDC apparently has some new info on how this virus is spread, the human being factor appears to be the primary source of transmission (not surfaces). So social distancing, wearing a mask, washing your hands, etc. remain the best way to keep yourself and others safe.
