Amber, do you know why the Covid 19 Georgia Geospatial Data Hub hasn't updated hospital information since August 22? I know you are busy. Thank you.

I've sent them a request for information and have not heard back yet. But it seems to be working again.

My request didn't matter but yours must have bc numbers finally went back online last night! Thank you for continuing to be a voice in the wilderness. We feel the same and are very frustrated.

Here in Whitfield County, city and county schools have started back but Murray County, next door doesn't start back until September. Two weeks ago, my husband, an internal medicine doc in Murray County, finally succumbed to Covid 19. His symptoms were much more severe than we expected them to be and they rebounded on us the next week with lots of systemic inflammation and new fever-though not as high as initially. He has finally started back to seeing patients in person but is still not to baseline. He is also seeing patients who are having similar cases to his-more severe symptoms than he was seeing earlier in the summer.

Our hospital which is in Region A-Hamilton Medical Center-reported 20 hospitalized Covid patients today, though only 3 were in the ICU and only 1 on Vent. That 20 is, I think, the highest we have had during this wave. We had hoped this was behind us but, like you, Blaine thinks schools starting back may be fueling a reseeding and he is concerned about the worsening in the severity of symptoms that he has begun to observe in himself and in others.
