Greg Bluestein on Twitter: "The state of Georgia doesn’t know the race of many of the people tested for the coronavirus because it left the question off of a testing registration form. #gapol https://t.co/mmMeBriBYN"

  Two possible scenarios: first, race becomes an insignificant question because tests are readily available for all regardless of socio-economic status or race. Or Second, the exact opposite.

  Blunder after testing blunder. Even Dr. Toomey didn’t realize her department’s own form omitted to ask the person’s race. And this is after health officials, and the public, knew that African-Americans in other areas were being disproportionately affected. Nice catch, @ajc.

  In the South- where they ALWAYS want to know your race- how is this NOT intentional? #EpicFail #GA
