The Anal Gerbil Constipation can pound sand. The normal people have decided to get get back to work and life. The neurotic germophobes can continue to hide under their own blankie if the want to continue doing so.

As long as the emergency medical system is not at risk, any measures beyond protecting said system only delay the inevitable spread of the ChiCom Beer Cold, at the cost of wrecking the country.

Looks like Sweden actually got it right. Social distancing to start with, and public reminders to exercise good flu season hygiene. But no draconian lock-downs or house arrest.

These cowards should go back into their burrows and re-emerge on Ground Hog Day, 2030.

They are terrified that, in two weeks, we will NOT see a spike in Georgia cases, and that will undercut the rationale for the other states.

Leftist opinion: don’t release society from the grip of closure by dictatorial fiat.

This Patriot’s opinion: abandon dictatorial tyranny and go back to living your lives freely and without fear.

Fine then close it all down and I mean everything, grocery stores, gas stations, Wal-Mart, everything. Then lets see the change in attitude. If some people need to stay home then all need to stay home. And when the food runs out I guess we will see.

If no one would drive a car or truck we could save thousands of lives and save the planet. Will that be the next thing advocated?

The data suggest it IS ok to open GA.

We are R 0.81 and declining.

Outside of Cobb, Dougherty and Fulton Counties, it’s a low risk event.

It took a whole editorial board to come up with this crap?
The only time the AJC will be happy to end the lockdowns will be after the November elections.
I will just repost what a very wise Freeper posted earlier:

Subject:: It’s not about your health!

“When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.

When the State bans dentists because its unsafe, but deems an abortion visit is safe, it’s not about your health.

When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows personal lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.

When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make-up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it’s not about your health.

When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but lets criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- It’s not about YOUR health!

When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor for chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems an abortion visit essential it's not about your health.

When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, ITS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

WAKE UP PEOPLE — If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken! Please open your eyes! Stop being lead like blind sheep.”

What’s funny is that if the AJC IS WRONG!! they’ll never admit it.

Just gloss over it like another “news” story with BS sources

That’s exactly right.

That’s exactly what the president asked us to do, and why.

That goal was achieved. Obviously, the virus remains, and we are going to have to deal with it ongoing, but our knowledge is improving on the virus and how best to treat it.

Anything beyond that original flatten the curve goal is a morphing into something sinister, Leftists are behind it, and it’s about the November election IMO.

So with all this “non-compliance” ALREADY going on, has COVID exploded in Georgia?

Same thing going on in Virginia - a study by Univ of MD showed the majority in VA are not complying (assuming this ‘study’ is accurate) .... no virus explosion here - mostly in nursing homes.
