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.
They put up the deaths by county today:
COVID-19 Confirmed Cases: No. Cases (%)
Total 2198 (100%)
Hospitalized 607(27.62%)

I think we need to stop “hoping” that things will level off. It is pretty clear the trajectory in cities is pretty consistent.
There are those that think we are in the “middle” of this. I suggest a very high percent of the US hadn’t really begun yet. There will be an increase across the country following the same model of NYC.
There will be a thread #100 before this is in the middle.
