The rates - cases, hospitalizations, deaths, etc. - are all going up in Hamilton County (Chattanooga) and the surrounding areas, including the northern border Georgia, considered part of the Chattanooga metro area.
It's horrible. When you look on a graph, everything's pointing in the wrong direction (up).
I really thought we were going to get past all this, but I should've known better 2-3 months ago.
We didn't ease back into anything. There was no "grace period" where things slowly opened and returned to normal. Someone just threw a switch and one day everything was closed and, the next, everything - theaters, concerts, bars, gatherings, ballgames, etc. - were a go.
What did people honestly think was going to happen, taking that approach (and with all the Alex Jones meat-beaters acting the role at the same time). No wonder it's exploded here again, now could it not? A perfect storm of idiocy, irresponsibility and dontgiveafuckitis swept over the region. Chattanooga made national news a few weeks ago because of it.
