Coronavirus halted production for several months, but the film and TV industry is getting back to work. With so many sound stages and production houses located in Georgia, this means thousands of jobs coming back online, not to mention a cash infusion to the local economy. It was announced in July that 20 projects would begin shooting in Georgia in August alone, with 50 more in the works over the next year and a half.

Over the past five months, the U.S. government has given hundreds of billions of dollars in federal aid to companies across the country. Much of the assistance was given to the public health sector, but not all healthcare facilities have acted with integrity when it comes to pandemic-related funding. In fact, some nursing home facilities that received federal assistance through the CARES Act have a history of defrauding the government.

Getting from point A to point B can be a frustrating experience, from road congestion to construction that seemingly never ends. Traffic jams around Atlanta and Savannah are just a way of life that citizens accept as a trade-off to work and live there. Any highly populated metropolitan area sees this problem on a daily basis.

The COVID-19 pandemic has sent shockwaves through nearly every industry in the country, affecting them in different ways. We remember the toilet paper and cleaning supply shortages in the spring of 2020, although supply eventually caught up with demand. Another similarly affected industry is automotive and transportation manufacturers. With more people working at home and more teens participating in virtual schooling, we’ve seen a downturn in traffic on the highways.
