  According to the Georgia Republican Party, Chester Doles is not eligible to run for office, because he has not had his rights restored as he claimed.

#NOAA / #NHC #TropStorm #Elsa briefly reached #hurricane status again off shore of Tampa Bay, but is now a tropical storm again. Storm surge, tornadoes, wind and rain all expected across the US Southeast over the next few days.

If you're in #FL, #GA, #SC, #NC, #AL it is probably too late to do any additional preparation. Just try to ride it out.

Remember when the #GA governor forbade Atlanta and surrounding cities from enforcing #COVID-19 restrictions except what the state itself instituted?

Someone working in #AZ told me their governor is doing the same thing. (Well, I'm not sure whether my contact meant restrictions or actively seeking to vaccinate people. It was a short conversation.)

@mangeurdenuage Well, most of the states have certified their results and most of the lawsuits are over. So, barring either a Supreme Court decision or faithless electors at the electoral college, we know #Biden will be the next President, taking over in January.

I'm still trying to avoid nearly all #politics / #USPol / #Election_2020 news and discussion, but it is time for #Trump and his supporters to face reality and accept defeat. A better focus is the upcoming runoff elections for two #GA Senate seats.

Also, according to Politico, #Trump won in #FL, #IA, #OH. #Biden won in #MN, #NH. Maine and Nebraska allocate electoral votes by congressional district. In #ME, one of the two districts went for Biden (the other is not yet projected). In #NE, two of three districts went for Trump.

No results yet for #GA, #NV, #PA, #MI, #TX, WI, #NC.

If you haven’t made an emergency evacuation plan yet, it is time to do so now. Ours is outdated, so needs work.

But basically, if you’ll need to bring it in an emergency, you should know where it is and be able to grab it quickly. If you’ve got pets or children in your home, or if you’ve got someone with health issues, you should never wait until authorities give evacuation orders. Be ready to leave and to get beyond the danger area BEFORE the crowds try to flee.

When #sonTwo and his wife were in #FL, they spent something like 12 hours one time getting from Miami / Ft Lauderdale to Tampa. Another time, they spent over a day getting out of FL into #GA, only to find that there were no places in southern GA with space available ... I think they wound up going to #MS to avoid the storm.

The overwhelming majority of these students will not have serious illness, but they do have parents and grandparents at home. This may be a good time to re-think our schools-as-overcrowded-prisons-where-we-confine-people-for-being-too-young system of education.

Waiting to hear back from S about the conditions in the US state of #Georgia. If you have not been paying attention, the governor of #GA sued the mayor of #Atlanta over an order requiring masks.

Some schools in GA reopened this week, and at least one classroom's students and teacher are now on self-isolation after a 2nd grader was discovered to be infected with #COVID-19.

A high school student was suspended after posting a photo of a crowded hallway (no distancing!) full of students without masks, and the principal used the public address system to threaten the other students with the same.

I was on the phone with S a couple of nights ago. She needed someone to talk to because her dad is hospitalized. His test results have not come back yet, but they suspect #COVID-19. Her younger brother, who had recently moved from #NC to #GA to take care of him, had been tested and is on self-quarantine.

While we were still on the phone, her older brother (I don’t know what state he’s in) texted her to inform her he was being tested for #2019-nCoV at a hospital emergency room.

She did not say whether it was possible that either her mom or herself had been exposed, but last I heard, her parents still lived in the same house.

This is what happens when governors refuse to do their jobs (and refuse to allow mayors to do theirs).

I keep seeing references to a decision made in #NY state, to send / keep elderly patients in group care homes instead of dispersing them into less-crowded situations where fewer would be affected by any one person’s infection. I honestly do not have the time or inclination to dig into it.

But I can point to the state of #GA suing heavily affected #Atlanta to remove local mask-requirements and other restrictions. Instead of allowing local governments to respond appropriately, Governor Kemp said he wants people to voluntarily choose to behave appropriately. But he cannot be unaware of those who will not do so for political reasons.

There is over a century of precedent (since Typhoid Mary) that shows (1) that some infectious people will not choose to behave appropriately, (2) that their misbehavior causes other people to become sick and die, (3) that the only and best response is to force such people to restrict their activities, such that they can no longer infect others. In the original case, it was because the carrier did not understand how one could carry a disease without any obvious symptoms. That was still a new idea at the time. In today’s situation, it is willingly choosing not to understand that which requires restrictions on what one can do or where one can go.

Looking on the US "confirmed by population" map on the JHU site. Along with the NYC area, the Navajo / Hopi reservation area in #AZ and #NM seems to have some of the highest numbers of cases (per capita) in the nation. Also the New Orleans area of #LA and an area that looks like it overlaps southern #GA and #AL.

I don't know what a "level 4" storm is, but apparently, they expect one tonight in #GA. Actually, I do have an idea: The #NOAA / #NWS / #SPC Storm Prediction Center has sent out #tornado watches in parts of #MS, #AL, #TN, AR, #LA ... so their alerts in Georgia are probably an extension of the same severe #t-storm system. S probably means that an EF4 tornado is possible.
