Opinion: It’s just too soon to reopen Ga.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 5/3/20 | Editorial Board

Posted on 05/03/2020 10:49:25 AM PDT by madprof98

If you’ve ventured outside lately, say, to run to the store for groceries, you’ve likely encountered a familiar scene: Masks dangling from faces.

Safe distances of 6 feet reduced to mere inches.Some not wearing masks at all.That’s what makes Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision to lift the shelter-at-home mandate so dangerous.

***

As you might expect, the decision to end the state’s most ambitious attempt to slow the spread of the virus drew criticism from healthcare professionals.One went as far as to say that Kemp could be setting the stage for “a punishing new wave of infections.”

They think the governor is making a mistake.

We do, too.

***

Rather than lifting his order entirely, Kemp could have explored other options, perhaps following the lead of other states, such as Colorado.

Our neighbors to the West have relaxed the stay-at-home restriction and moved to a new phase, called “Safer at Home.”

Under the “Safer at Home” initiative, most Coloradans — not just the elderly or the medically fragile — have been told to limit social interactions. Gatherings of more than 10 people remain prohibited. And individual counties and cities are allowed to implement stricter measures to help prevent the spread of new cases.

Interesting they decided Colorado is a model state. Wonder why they love that governor?

Governor Stacey Abrams would have kept Georgians locked up with armed guards at every door until early November. Exactly what every Democrat mayor of Georgia would do if Kemp hadn't stopped them.

...and yet no spike or increase in cases? Shocking.

Watch this on your computer:
Here's a link to one month for FREE and then $9.99 per month after that first month.
If you don't like it, then cancel the subscription before the end of the first month.

It really is worth your time.
I found it on YouTube for FREE. It starts at 01:30 into the video.

The curve has flattened. Now, it is “imprison every Ga. citizen until........I say it is safe”. Power trip.

We are unable to stop the virus. That is a given.

Shutting down the economy was designed to slow the virus down so hospitals would not be overwhelmed.

Now is the time for a little common sense.

AJC is a pathetic leftist rag. Completely Predictable and you can tell what a load of BS this blanket lockdown is by all the rat propaganda merchants who are for it.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution - has never READ our Constitution...except for the ‘imaginary’ parts about killing babies and old people. :(

Same old, same old from these liberal hacks.

No fan of the obese attention wh0re but we don't have armed guards even here in the People's Republic of Commiefornia. Just sayin'.

This is BS. Sounds like a democrat propaganda ploy to keep the people shut down and locked up until it can be used against Trump. It is about time to let individuals take their own risks in life.
