“So he is basically doing exactly what Kemp did by blowing off Fauci’s 14 day guideline.”

“the decision was science-based and not open-ended like the plan to restart almost all businesses in Georgia that even President Donald Trump has criticized.”
Deaths per million of population:
Minnesota 40
Georgia 87
Peak death rate in Georgia was 3-4 April which is when Kemp issued his shutdown, i.e. deaths had already peaked. In MIN deaths are peaking now and he did his shutdown orders on March 15-16. One difference is Georgia started much earlier with two funerals (late Feb and early March). With those they created a voluntary shutdown situation because so many people were catching the virus and getting seriously ill.
The lesson is simple, you have to take your medicine. You can pretend that being shutdown forever will stop the virus but that just delays the inevitable.
