#GA #COVID19 8/11 3p

Deaths: 137 reported today
• Highest ever
• First time above 100
• Probably some wkend backlog, but all the same...
• When are we going to implement science-based policies in Georgia, @GovKemp?

2/
Cases back above 3k again (3639) after weekend underreporting.

It's notable that there's a difference of > 900 cases between the ELR+, upon which % poz is calculated, and the reported cases for the day. This leads me to think that % poz is being underestimated.

3/
New hosp back up: 355
• Current hosp 2881
• Awaiting hosp capacity data for the day...more later.

We are NOT out of trouble, Georgia.

And, if you are in Georgia, #VOTE!

4/
ICU availability down to 14% from 16% yesterday.

6 of 14 hosp regions < 10 ICU beds

5 hosps on total diversion, 4 "severe", lots "overcrowded" and many ICU/CCU diversions

And school-related infections just beginning... buckle your seatbelts, GA 😢
