I think there were earlier cases in GA that appeared mild, like the ones around Atlanta that I think could have been from China because of our huge Asian population. When we started importing Italy cases, a more severe disease started to spread. The south GA outbreak is like an entirely different disease that what we have in N Ga...

Just look at the two:
Fulton 1417 Cases, 50 deaths (pop. 1.064 million)
Dougherty 1072 cases, 68 deaths (pop. 88,000)

I think you are correct on this. I believe SC has the milder one. I wonder if a area gets hits with the milder case first it will lessen the effect of the one form Italy.

If you already had the mild one can you get the more dangerous one.

I do not think the different strains were in the model projections.
