Hey DeKalb Co folk. In case you haven't seen it, our libraries have a very convenient book/movie reservation system on their website. Just search the catalog, request the book, and anything available in the county will be brought to your local library in a few days. It's the only way I've been able to keep my kids stocked with good books and movies.

If I may cherry-pick some good news -- COVID-19 hospitalizations in
DeKalb County are now as low as they've been at any time during the pandemic. However, rates for the USA and GA have not yet reached those previous minimums. Also, I suspect that the risk of exposure is still higher than July 2021, but a lower proportion is ending up in the hospital due to immunity and better outpatient treatments.

@UrbanizeNewsBot DeKalb County is quickly losing its remaining green space as we increase density while keeping car-centric, sprawling infrastructure. For some reason this developer highlights "MARTA access" for their new development, despite the closest station being a mile away along a sprawling, barren, suburban highway.
