but, i want to be clear on a point: there's little reason to expect that georgia has the kind of widespread immunity appearing in new york. that means that opening the economy needs to be done in a way that protects the vulnerable, as the virus is going to spread through the state very quickly, once it opens.
but, the fact is that the mortality rate of this disease is very low.
i think this can be done safely without locking everybody up for the whole summer, if there is a proper focus on keeping the disease out of long-term care homes and people with high co-morbidity are cognizant that they are at higher risk, and take steps to protect themselves.
there are lots of ifs, there.
but, somebody has to take the risk, and i actually applaud the georgian governor for having the courage to be the one to do it.
and, i think that shifting the responsibility to those that are at risk to protect themselves, rather than collectivizing the responsibility indefinitely, is actually the correct moral decision, as well.
there's only one way to find out what's going to happen.
but, i would call on the state of georgia to take particular care to protect those that require it.
