The number of COVID-19 deaths in Georgia have noticeably dropped across races and ethnicities since last month after going on an upward trajectory since April 2020. I would propose a story that takes a closer look at measures and actions taken by the local government that contributed to this new downward trajectory in deaths. I would also look to answer the question why it took so many months to finally see a significant drop in deaths.
