The state of Georgia released a very misleading graph that gave off the appearance that there was a downward trend of COVID-19 cases in the five most impacted counties when in fact, there was no such downward trend. What created the illusion of this downward trend was a graph that had dates in no particular order with dates in May coming before dates in April and other madness that state representative Scott Holcomb called “cuckoo.” Georgia governor Brian Kemp’s office has since issued an apology. If we want any hope of containing this virus, we need to be able to have accurate data that we can trust, no?
