Glascock County Last Standing in Battle of COVID-19

Glascock County Last in Georgia to Remain Without Coronavirus Case

Caleb Andrews - May 3 2020

Glascock County has remained without a confirmed case of COVID-19 the longest of any county in Georgia, according to Georgia Department of Public Heath statistics. This comes after Taliaferro County was confirmed to have it's first case Sunday. 

Glascock is the fourth-least populated county in Georgia, with the county seat of Gibson having only 663 residents. Taliaferro, the lest populous Georgia county, also had no cases until Sunday at the noon update of the Georgia DPH's COVID-19 status report page. This comes after Governor Kemp lifted stay-at-home orders for most Georgia residents, later amending the issue telling seniors to remain on lockdown. 

Glascock is home to just under 3,000 people, and three small cities: Edgehill, Gibson, and Mitchell. The county is named after Thomas Glascock Jr., a veteran of the War of 1812 and First Seminole War, and U.S. representative.

Fall 2016 Upcoming Events

Well, it won't be too much longer until we are thinking about Fall. As some of you might know, I absolutely hate hot weather, which is very convenient since I live in Middle Georgia. I haven't got much filming in in the past weeks, but that should be changing as summer fades away. This fall there are some fun things happening around here: firstly, CMJ Hobbies will be hosting the annual Warbirds Over Roberta fly-in in September, which is always an exciting event, with some great RC model planes being flown. But, perhaps the biggest event I will have the pleasure of filming at since 2012, is the 2016 Thunder Over Georgia Airshow. This event will be headlined by the USAF Thunderbirds, as well as many other well known acts, such as Randy Ball's MiG 17F. The event will be held October first and second this year. Matt Cochran has also hinted that he might be inclined to go. The grasp of mediocre content is slipping.

2016 Post

Well, since it seems like I post to hear just about yearly, here is my 2016 post. recently the weather in Georgia has been really weird. Not only recently, but for the past few months. It is always windy, or cloudy, or rainy, and there was no transition to winter from summer. One day I was sweating and the next day I contracted the common cold. Actually, all jokes aside, I am just now recovering from a pretty bad cold, I was sick for about a full week. Because of all these things, I haven't really had much time to make plane spotting content. You must remember my style of filming, I film contrails primarily, and when a military plane goes over from Robins that is a treat. Could know out contrail spotting, and military planes are a rarity anyway, but nasty weather doesn't help that. Over the past few months I have heard a few really low/ loud jets, but just barely, over the pounding rain. Right now I am working on piecing together some content from months past, and will try to have that up sometime soon. I might make a video explaining further about why I haven't uploaded regularly in over a year. Have a good one y'all, and remember, if it's pretty out there, go make the best of it. Happy spotting.

COMEBACK

It tooks like the countdown till my coming back is finally... well, counting down. I should upload another video by October 25. I was planning on going to the Heart of Georgia Air Show back in September but I wasn't able to, so that set back the comeback even more. October 24 is the Warbirds over Roberta at CMJ Hobbies, which I feel is a very appropriate video to come back with. I have had some great memories there, and hope to upload a long video of the even with my new camera. It will be the first upload with my new camera. There might be a silly video warning of the comeback shortly before that event, though. Look forward to it.

The Summer Slump

It's that time again MGAS fans! The big Aviation slump of the summer! Every year this plagues the Middle Georgia Airplane Spotting community. What do I mean by Aviation slump? There are no planes! Planes are sparse, especially low ones, meaning not many planes take off or land locally. But fear not, this condition usually only lasts for the beginning of summer, we will say the first three weeks or so. Until then I will upload some older videos to keep you satisfied. But you should also check out other great channels on Youtube such as 99Carnot or Lamps15CA!

Currently working on a video for my youtube, supermariolover1000. It will be an RC mishap/ crash compilation. I have a small collection building now, 10 videos so far. Almost every visit to the airfield nowadays provides something for it, such as last Sunday a plane had a nice landing, but the wind got under it and lifted it back into the air, it bounced around a bit and had an edgy go- around. We all hate to see planes crash but if it has to happen at least be on video! I've decided to film every flight we have at the airfield. One day a big balsa model was up about 150 feet, something came out of it and it spiraled into the ground. The pilot said the battery came out. Would've been nice to have a video of that! So far I haven't caught anything spectacular, but i'm hoping to build up a lot of short videos and make a long compilation. See you then? In other news i'm back on Blogger, and today I saw an R-22.
