Probably doesn't apply to just Atlanta.
Prepare for home school this fall?
Teacher: No guarantee schools can reopen. Start planning accordingly.
Hi Gngr !
I'm almost certain in the southwest Georgia area where the hotspot is down here they will not start. Many I know with children are already trying to address that possibilty. Many are within our family since we have several grandchildren, and great grandchildren who attends school here.
Between Lee, and Dougherty counties there have been over a 100 deaths thus far even though the population is a much smaller number than the much more heavily populated counties in the Atlanta area, and elsewhere.
Our youngest daughter, husband, and 2 sons live in Paulding county close to Atlanta (west of Atlanta), and they have very few cases. It's a spread out more rural county with the county seat of Dallas being a small city within the county.
LEE county where we live is one of the largest counties as far as acreage, but it still has a lot of wide open beautiful rural areas. Imo, it's why its one of the most sought after counties for businesses..large and small as well as people who want to live, and build homes in our area. Having one of the top five school systems is also appealing.
But I think those who have the virus in our county may have contracted from either working in Dougherty county or visited someone who may have had it since our county butts up with this hotspot county.
Like I mentioned previously the first known virus case was when someone from Atlanta came to Albany to attend a funeral. Several at the same funeral also contracted the virus. Then shortly after another funeral was held at a different funeral, and more fell ill with the virus with some dying. The first 2 known victims also passed away from it.
So its hit our area very hard, and continues. I don't even think its hit it's peak either.
It does show how even going to city to city even within a citizen's own state can spread the virus far, and wide.
