COVID cases in Georgia dramatically under reported in the run up to the election.

In the 14 days prior to the election, Georgia reported an average of 1,544 cases of Covid-19 a day; with a high of 2,565 and a low of 939. In the three days that followed the election, Georgia reported a total of 52,773 cases, or an average of 17,591 cases a day.

Georgia Republicans maintained the appearance of semi-competently managing the crisis by under reporting and/or deferring reporting in the days prior to the election to create an illusion favorable to themselves. If you don't think the Republicans in Georgia will kill you so they can have more power, think again.

Source of data is Johns Hopkins https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/state-timeline/new-confirmed-cases/georgia

from John Hopkins. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/state-timeline/new-confirmed-cases/georgia

Bear in mind that reporting for each day isn't released until the following day. John Hopkins uses data reported directly from states specific data, Worldometer use projections and estimates based on what they deem to be reliable sources and an algorithm they have created. I'm not going to judge which is more accurate - but the John Hopkins data tells you what the state wants you know.

Georgia daily cases reported are as follows:

October 20 - 1128
21 - 1312
22 - 1785
23 - 2224
24 - 1846
25 - 1318
26 - 958
27 - 1491
28 - 1653
29 - 1823
30 - 1377
31 - 2565
November 1 - 1192
2 - 939
3 - 31,605
4 - 2,611
5 - 18,557

Kinda like the entire republic party, plain & simple.
