#sonTwo (2nd son) got to experience #Atlanta morning rush hour traffic today. He was quite shaken. He says it added hours to his trip.
He says he'd rather walk in Death Valley.
Later on, a #GA sheriff's deputy pulled him over, talked with him, and suggested rest and a Red Bull before continuing his trip.

Waiting to hear back from S about the conditions in the US state of #Georgia. If you have not been paying attention, the governor of #GA sued the mayor of #Atlanta over an order requiring masks.
Some schools in GA reopened this week, and at least one classroom's students and teacher are now on self-isolation after a 2nd grader was discovered to be infected with #COVID-19.
A high school student was suspended after posting a photo of a crowded hallway (no distancing!) full of students without masks, and the principal used the public address system to threaten the other students with the same.

I keep seeing references to a decision made in #NY state, to send / keep elderly patients in group care homes instead of dispersing them into less-crowded situations where fewer would be affected by any one person’s infection. I honestly do not have the time or inclination to dig into it.
But I can point to the state of #GA suing heavily affected #Atlanta to remove local mask-requirements and other restrictions. Instead of allowing local governments to respond appropriately, Governor Kemp said he wants people to voluntarily choose to behave appropriately. But he cannot be unaware of those who will not do so for political reasons.
There is over a century of precedent (since Typhoid Mary) that shows (1) that some infectious people will not choose to behave appropriately, (2) that their misbehavior causes other people to become sick and die, (3) that the only and best response is to force such people to restrict their activities, such that they can no longer infect others. In the original case, it was because the carrier did not understand how one could carry a disease without any obvious symptoms. That was still a new idea at the time. In today’s situation, it is willingly choosing not to understand that which requires restrictions on what one can do or where one can go.

#GA governor says “people should do the right thing” and wear a mask without an order, sues to block #Atlanta’s local mask order. Meanwhile federal guidelines say Georgia should issue a mask order and that local governments should retain the option of more restrictive policies in response to local needs https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/17/world/coronavirus-cases-update.html#link-64161147 [www nytimes com]
