The rate of new covid-19 cases peaked back on the 14th, the number of new cases was down to 260 on the 23rd. Apparently, some counties report new cases and deaths in batches, which explains why the worldometers site has Georgia data with a lot of peaks and valleys. The Georgia site, assigned the new cases and deaths to the day they occurred, not when they were reported like the worldometers site. So sometimes it takes several days to get the real figures for a particular day.
While I probably wouldn't have picked some of the businesses Kemp did, it does strike me as time to stick the toe in the water and see what happens. A lot of people won't open even if they can, and a lot of people are going to stay at home, it's their choice. That's a good thing. I personally have no plans to go get a hair cut or eat in a restaurant this week, but I'm more than happy to let other people do so. I'm sure it will take a week or two to get the kinks worked out. We will see.
