A question to consider -- many schools in GA are basing reopening on falling below 100 cases per 100k across 14 days. For my county of Dekalb, that metrics can be met by averaging 54 cases/day for 2 weeks; we are currently at 94 cases/day as a 7-day average and quickly falling.

If we look at Date of Onset for Dekalb, we never hit a consistent 7-day average, even during the statewide Shelter-in-Place order/mandate/encouragement. As of today, there is no county with less than 100 cases per 100k across 14 days.

My question is this -- is this county goal even achievable?
