If people see the death rates are still quickly growing, they’ll be less likely to resume working and spending.

- Consultant32452 6y agoI've been fortunate so far that I personally do not know a single person who has died of covid. I am aware of a family member of an acquaintance died of covid. If the death rate really spikes, more and more people will start to have someone in their personal circle who has died of covid. And people who had someone in their personal circle die will change their behavior in some way.

Georgia has somewhat surprising overall positive counts trending down. Compare them to Alabama which has been consistently going up. Georgia has reported incorrect results and Florida fired someone working on their website. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/20/us/florida-georgia-covid-19-test-data/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/20/us/florida-georgia-covid-19-t...
