There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Before the rally, Georgia Tech Professor Joshua Weitz told Georgia Public Broadcasting/Macon that those planning to attend had to assume there was an almost certain risk that someone there would have COVID-19. But the rally didn’t disappoint its organizers: thousands attended, and although the campaign took temperatures and offered masks, few wore them, or practiced social distancing.
