Beshear and a few other governors are going to be facing 1st amendment lawsuits. I sure hope when this is over we take a look at whatever mechanism it is that gives these governors unlimited authority. I mean they just make up the crime and the punishment as they go. Completely arbitrary.
I’m not sure where you’re getting those numbers, but I can tell you no one knows the true prevalence because there is a shortage of tests. As of today, the Georgia Department of Health has processed a total of 4,358 tests.
If you only run 200-300 tests per day you’ll never peak close to 1,400 or 10,000.
With the availability of commercial testing the total number of tests has increased while the percent of positive tests has remained the same. Which means we haven’t peaked, yet. However, we don’t know how many people are sick because there aren’t enough tests to test everyone who needs to be tested.
Also, last week the number of people tested decreased by 30% and not because there are less people who need testing.
