We landed on "Aliens" as the closest analog: the creatures are bigger and badder--and there are more of them! And the biggest villains turn out to be the management chain that casually sends people into harm's way in the name of profits. "Alien$," indeed.

Georgia's initial rollout plan matched, more or less, the CDC's. One key difference that will become important: Phase 1b includes the same employment categories as the CDC's 1b, but it breaks "police and fire personnel" and other "critical workforce employees" into 2 bullet pts.

"Phase 1" is divided into 3 categories: 1a includes healthcare workers and residents and staff in long-term care facilities. 1b includes police and fire personal, other "critical workforce employees," citizens 75+ and 65+ (with other risk factors).
