Day 24: Rate Decreased; Weekly Average Rate Continues to Decrease; Daily Total Down
After yesterday, I’m starting to see a weekly pattern in the data. Tuesday brings a spike that I was expecting Monday. Well, I bet the data gets there Monday, but is not published until Tuesday. So the weekend data inconsistencies are all shoved onto Tuesday. This sort of data shenanigans is going to play havoc...
Day 14: COVID-19 Rates Fall Again to 12%–6% Less than Yesterday
Well, I’m starting to get really excited about the growth rate today but I know that it is too early to get too excited though. My corrected model was only off by 8 today, so that means that the growth rate could be reaching the top. The number of new COVID-19 cases reported today was...
Day 13: COVID-19 Rate Third Lowest Ever
While it is way too early to know for sure, it is sure a great day when the rate of increase drops to the third-lowest rate ever at 18%. The lowest rate was 3% on Day -3 (3/12/20) and 7% on Day 7 (3/16/20). Here’s hoping and praying that we are approaching the top of...

Twitter, Facebook, or Blog as a Real Republican
If you have been wondering where I have been, then you must not be following me on twitter as @litag8r or on FaceBook. However robust and instant those platforms are, they don’t provide the space to make a complicated point. This Blog does. Look for more to come. But for today, many thanks to Governor...
Don’t Panic–Demand Reductions from the Top Down
You have heard me say before that when government has to reduce spending, they do so in the way that is most inconvenient to the public. The normal way to take care of budget shortfalls in government is to raise taxes. Almost all the Republicans have agreed not to do that now. In our area,...
Nathan Resigns!
It is with mixed feelings that I watched Georgia 9th District Congressman Nathan Deal resign this morning at the Gainesville Civic Center. I really hate to see such a persuasive advocate leave Congress at a time that is so critical to the Nation’s future. However, I understand that one “nay” vote won’t mean much if...
