...
Almost 600 of those with confirmed cases are hospitalized. But Georgia hospitals are treating many more patients with COVID-19 symptoms who are waiting for laboratory tests to confirm their diagnoses.“This is a pandemic like nothing I’ve experienced in my career,” Dr. Kathleen Toomey, Georgia’s public health commissioner, said Friday in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It’s several times more infectious than the flu — and 10 times more deadly.
”More than 100 of Georgia’s 159 counties have confirmed cases of the virus, and Toomey said that without strict social distancing, “we’ll see it get much worse.”

Very tragic. But these are deaths from the super spreader events two weeks ago, before the widespread awareness of the danger.
The question now is, will deaths in GA continue to go up, or will they start leveling out.
