Stated goal of flattening the curve, mission accomplished.
I have no idea where you're getting your numbers from but the average number of daily cases in Georgia hasn't been below 100 since mid March.
Besides, even if the number of daily has gone down in the last two weeks that says nothing about the consequences of opening anyway because case data lags a long way behind the actual spread of the disease. This means that when looking at the data from today what you're really seeing is a snapshot of the state of the outbreak two weeks ago.
Edit: I think you might be quoting daily death numbers as case numbers. The point in the second paragraph still applies though.
