Almost 6,400 new cases in Georgia today, which is obviously a new high, but so are the 4,947 new PCR cases w 12.1% positive. It's not just the addition of antigen tests. It's not just Thanksgiving backlog either. We're starting to see post-holiday cases.
Hospitalization admissions are up as hospitals continue to fill. Concerns about capacity are spilling into the news.
Deaths are also up, and now I feel it's important to include probable cases in the numbers as they continue to grow daily. My main numbers now include both, though I report the breakdown on the graph.

Gwinnett: 2,767
Fulton: 2,534
Cobb: 2,051
Non-GA Res/Unk St: 1,666
DeKalb: 1,638
Again, these numbers are misleadingly *low* because so many cases haven't been given a county classification yet (~250 more today).
