Does Kemp have a brain? He may just be high because it's 4/20. IDK. Of ALL the places you could choose to reopen, he chose the WORST ONES. These are all VERY social places he is reopening: gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, beauty shops, salons, barber shops, and body art studios? DOES HE EVEN READ? At a gym, people use equipment one after another and talk and BS--especially back in the locker room. A massage therapist? How the heck are they supposed to practice social distancing? Will they massage from a DISTANCE? What about barbers? Will they cut hair from a DISTANCE?? How about nail salons? What about bowling balls being reused between people? This is happening in FOUR days?

Good God. No wonder the rest of the country thinks Georgia (my state) is a bunch of ignorant hicks. Some of these politicians should just be tossed in a jail cell. Thanks to this guy, we are probably going to see a huge rise in infections which will inevitably cause more unnecessary death. Incoming second wave.

I live about 10 minutes from the CDC, so I'm mostly surrounded by educated individuals. Apparently, Kemp isn't even as educated as a kindergartner.

Economic damage and death are intertwined. That's the point. Which do you consider more important - death due to corona virus or death due to economic damage? Can you ignore the massive spike in suicides or domestic violence?

When people are hungry they will do irrational things.



That's great that you are not impacted and have worked remotely, you are blessed in that regard. The majority does not enjoy that luxury. I'm not sure what an activist is. What do you advocate for? 22 million people were laid off in the past 3 to 4 weeks. What do they do? If the paycheck doesn't come, they do not eat, or are displaced.




Look, I get it. These are uncomfortable questions. But they must be debated and answered by the public. At some point we have to balance risk versus the economy.

Closing the economy causes unnecessary deaths.

No it doesn't it just puts a dent in the check books of the 1%.

You said it yourself that the poor in our country have it too good. Now all the sudden people will be dying in the streets? I don't think so. You sir are hysteric. You should contemplate getting a hysterectomy done.

The other day on 4/10 over 2000 people died from covid in the United States.

I just googled how many people died because the economy is shut down and nothing is really popping up.

yes only the 1% are suffering right now and it’s only financially that they are suffering :wacko:

unemployment never caused an increase in suffering (including death) according to you :wacko:

nice little misogynistic anti-science rant there too :bonk:
