GET ME REWRITE: Meet Brian Kemp, poster boy for everything that's gone wrong with Georgia's coronavirus response



Reported in Late to shut down, first to reopen, Georgia reports its highest daily death toll.  (USA Today, 8/14/2020)

Quoted in Georgia Governor: School Openings Going Well....Mostly.  (The New York Times, 8/10/2020)

And then....

1,193 Quarantined for Covid. Is This a Successful School Reopening?  (The New York Times, 8/12/2020)
By the time the last bell rang on Friday afternoon, principals at 10 other schools had sent similar letters to families in Cherokee County, a bucolic and politically conservative stretch of suburbs north of Atlanta. This week, more letters went out.
Altogether, nearly 1,200 students and staff members in the district have already been ordered to quarantine. On Tuesday, one high school closed its doors until at least Aug. 31. A second high school followed on Wednesday.

Cherokee County.  RED, but not totally into that Trump's America thing.
