Looks like VA is one of the four states f'king the numbers[/quote]

Nobody cares. We're reopening. [/quote]

+1 The debate is over.  People are just going to ignore attempts to scare people. [/quote]

Or any semblance of reason or caution for the larger community. [/quote]

If Georgia can successfully reopen with no resurgence, so can Northern Virginia:[/b]

“But now 26 days have passed since the state started to reopen — and that punishing new wave of infections has not materialized. In fact, according to a database maintained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia’s rolling seven-day average of new daily cases — an important metric that helps to balance out daily fluctuations in reporting — has fallen for three weeks in a row.”

Your statement above that GA "successfully open[ed] with no resurgence" seems to be supported by the article you cite but here's another article that contradicts it.

https://www.ajc.com/news/breaking-news/spike-georgia-covid-cases-partly-from-virus-spread-expert-says/ScJKBSS7S4UMhVG60iALxL/
"Georgia’s recent spike in new COVID-19 cases likely indicates the virus is spreading and cannot be solely attributed to a surge in testing, a prominent public health expert said Thursday....More diagnostic testing was certainly turning up more new cases, but [b]the partial end of the state’s shelter-in-place order, allowing most Georgians to move about, is a key reason behind a 26% percent rise in cases between the weeks of May 11 and May 18[/b]."

Note that the figures above do account for increased testing showing more cases; not all increases can be attributed merely to more testing.
