Reference : - Andy Bolt might have overlooked something of interest .

 Reference :-    The Governor of Georgia , USA , is ending the  coronavirus lockdown . This is the perfect test for Andy Bolt's theory that the danger is over .


What great news Andy !    A scientific chap like yourself must welcome this opportunity to observe a trial run .  The Governor of Georgia , Brian Kemp has a clear mandate to do as he pleases , with his convincing 0.5 % margin in the last election .

Though that victory did involve a lot of rigmarole ( litigation , the closing of polling stations , voter suppression and rigged electronic voting machines  )  a win is a win , as they say .
And good on him .  As a shady property developer he must be kept pretty busy ,
but he did find time to run a fantastic political advertisement showing him threatening a young man with a shotgun .  Now there was an ad campaign that would even make your marketing mate Rowan Dean proud. .

 Anyway Andy , here is the situation .   With Mr Trump's approval ( and later disapproval , followed by a clarification of his approval , except where he was misunderstood relating to his disapproval )
the Governor of Georgia has given lockdown the flick . 

  At last count that state had 22,000 folk clapped up with contagion , and about 900 dead .
  (On a population basis that would be like Australia having 120,000 cases , with 5,500 dead . ) 
   Not many of the dead are white gun toting episcopalian property sharks , like the good
 Governor Kemp.
  Black folk are very overrepresented . So I guess he is prepared to take the gamble .
 Rather like you , when you suggested " remote communities " should not be locked down .

   You must keep an eye on Georgia , Andy , and see how things pan out . It's also a great opportunity for Rowan Dean to include one of those musical segments he runs when he hasn't enough material to fill his time slot .

  Of course , I am referring to " Georgia "  , that  Hoagy Carmichael gem , though I prefer the Ray Charles version .     Run that if you can .
                 
                        " Just an old sweet song ,
                          Keeps Georgia on my mind "
