Day 28 of the Georgia Economic Recovery. Deaths continue to fall here, and every state has now begun to relax the lockdowns. Brian Kemp can take his victory lap, as a leader among governors.
A new analysis being reviewed by the White House shows southern states that moved too quickly to relax social distancing guidelines face significant risk for a resurgence of the coronavirus over the next several weeks. In several cases, counties will see hundreds of additional cases by June 17.
The study, which was put together by PolicyLab at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, is part of a data set being reviewed by top coronavirus task force officials and people working with the team, The Daily Beast reported earlier this month.
A previous model by the PolicyLab predicted that if officials moved too quickly and too aggressively to reopen in mid-May, individual counties could witness hundreds, if not a thousand-plus, more coronavirus cases reported each day by August 1.
The new model shows that in southern counties, particularly in Texas, Florida, Alabama, and Virginia, the risk for resurgence is high over the next four weeks.
These states have moved to reopen, at least partially, since the team published its last model in April.

The new data, which has been presented to members of the White House’s coronavirus task force, is likely to validate fears by doctors and scientists, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease official in the administration, that opening states too soon could have disastrous health consequences.
The news comes as the Trump White House continues to promote the idea of local communities opening up for business, and as the president seeks to shuffle his coronavirus task force in a way that would allow members to focus on reopening the economy.
CNN Praises Governor Cuomo For Killing Off The Elderly Since They Probably Would Have Voted For TrumpMay 20th, 2020
ATLANTA, GA—CNN has praised Governor Andrew Cuomo’s “brilliant” nursing home strategy as it ended in the deaths of thousands of senior citizens, who skew conservative and Republican.
The station’s hosts said that forcing nursing home residents to admit COVID-19 patients was a “stroke of genius” that all other state governors really should start looking into.
“A genius move, brother,” said Chris Cuomo as he interviewed Andrew Cuomo, which is not weird or biased at all. “Really inspired. How do you come up with it? You’re so great.”
“Aw, shucks,” said Andrew Cuomo. “Stop it!”
“No, you stop it.”
“You stop it!”
This went on for some time before the brothers argued at length over who would hang up first.
At publishing time, the station had also recognized another element of just how genius this move was, since those killed by COVID-19 are now voting Democrat.
Wachowskis Release Cut Of ‘The Matrix’ Where Neo Just Takes The Blue PillMay 20th, 2020
BURBANK, CA—In conjunction with Warner Bros. Studios, the Wachowskis have released a new cut of The Matrix where Neo just takes the blue pill.
The revised cut will be approximately 30 minutes long, as Neo will take the blue pill and then just go about his pretend life blissfully unaware of humanity’s enslavement in the real world. Credits will roll as Neo wakes back up in his computer-generated existence and lives happily ever after.
“The red pill has been co-opted by the alt-right, and we just needed to set the record straight,” said Lilly Wachowski. “Now Neo will no longer take the problematic red pill and will instead support the status quo and not cause any problems. It’s much safer this way. Just think about how much happier Neo will be.”
The movie ends as Morpheus tells Neo, “You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe.”

Democrat Governors Warn If Lockdowns Are Lifted They Won’t Get Nearly As Much Time In The SpotlightMay 20th, 2020
U.S.—Democrat governors across the nation have urged states to continue their lockdowns, saying if they end prematurely, their time in the limelight will be over.
“If we end this crisis too soon, my time in the limelight will be up,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom. “I can’t let this $500 hair cut go to waste. I spend thousands on hair gel alone every month. If I can’t give a press conference every night, it’s all for nothing!”
Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York agreed.
“We must continue this crisis as long as possible so that people will know who I am,” he said. “I mean, I’m holding press conferences all the time! They’re great press conferences, riveting television. Can you imagine if people didn’t have that every day? What would they do?”
A study confirmed the governors’ worst fears, showing that in states with no COVID-19 restrictions, people don’t think about the government much at all and just go about their daily lives. “We can’t let that happen,” said Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

The WHO said 106,000 new cases had been reported to them in the last 24 hours.
Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has expressed particular concern about rising infections in low and middle-income nations.
The warning comes as the total number of cases approach five million.
The grim milestone looks set to be reached less than two weeks after the world hit the four million mark.
Experts warn the true number of infections is likely to be far higher, with low testing rates in many countries skewing the data.
More than 326,000 people are known to have died with coronavirus around the world, according to Johns Hopkins University tracking.
The US remains the worst-hit country, with more than 1.5m cases and 92,000 deaths so far.

You could never know what it’s like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there’s a cold lonely light that shines from you
You’ll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win?
Well look at me, I’m a-coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I’m still standing, you just fade away
Don’t you know I’m still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I’m still standing after all this time
Pickin up the peices of my life
Without you in my mind
I’m still standing
