Summary: Albany in Southwest Georgia has been almost as badly hit as New York, yet the Georgian mayor has reopened all businesses. Today on Please Explain US correspondent Matthew Knott joins National Editor Tory Maguire to discuss how Albany became one of the worst COVID-19 outbreak areas, but also, now, has the loosest rules. About 130 people have died in Georgia, more than the amount in Australia and New Zealand combined. Today, Please Explain delves into how the community is coping with this stark reality.
