Nice tongue in cheek start:

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Atlanta is not burning. Bodies are not piled up in the streets. Hospitals in Georgia are not being overwhelmed; in fact, they are virtually empty. There is no mad rush for ventilators (remember those?). Instead, men, women, and children in the Peach State are returning to some semblance of normal life: working outside their homes, going to restaurants and bars, getting haircuts, exercising, and most important, spending time with their friends and families and worshipping God. The opening that began more than three weeks ago is continuing apace.

Oh, my apologies, you were waiting for bad news? Sorry, I forgot, we were actually not supposed to be rooting for the virus. Despite the apparent relish behind headlines like "Georgia's Experiment in Human Sacrifice," one assumes that most Americans, even the ones most committed to omnidirectional prophecies of doom, were actually hoping this would happen. While it really is a shame that we do not get to gloat about the cravenness and stupidity of yet another GOP politician, I think on balance most of us will be glad to hear that Gov. Brian Kemp was not badly wrong here...."

The author didn't waste time reminding us Trump supporters that he was wrong because he had said he was worried about Georgie opening too soon. But, he failed to also remind us that Trump also said that the sun and heat would slow down if not stop the virus (perhaps until the cold sets in). But, let's not worry about that right now, let's enjoy the sunlight and if anyone out there want's to help me plant some plants I'll send my address. LOL

I can’t seem to find any commentary for that Emory doctor who said that if Atlanta didn’t close the region might as well prepare for an apocalypse.
