Brian Kemp, the Republican governor of Georgia, admitted on Wednesday that he had only just learned that asymptomatic individuals can still spread coronavirus — even though health experts had warned about the possibility as early as January.

Kemp, in a press conference on Wednesday said the fact that he’d just learned that information contributed to him issuing a statewide shelter-in-place order in Georgia.

Kemp, said that he had, in just the last 24 hours, learned “that this virus is now transmitting before people see signs.”

Another Stepford Republican governor. Joins Ducey and DeSantis. Caved to liberals who want everything shut down.

Has the governor been spending the whole time watching football reruns or what. Maybe his advisor Dr. Toomey should be fired, or maybe Kemp himself is just a very poor listener.

Hopefully, the end of his governorship, ...step down, hand it to the Lt. Governor before it gets worse.

He didn’t just learn this? He clearly stated he learned it in the previous 24 hours. Perhaps he badly misspoke, to which there should be some evidence, because it’s something he should have been speaking about for the entire month of March.

He said he just learned it, contrary evidence, please.

Kemp had better see the mistake he made with his Senate appointment... when a better man should have that seat. Doug Collins. How in the world could Kemp pick ANYONE else... a corrupt woman who took advantage of her place, first chance she had.

Clearly NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer, but light years ahead of Stacey Abrams, the Gap-Toothed Socialist.

Oh please. This is this antichrist “secular humanists” wanting to smear a Republican.

The CDC just released a report. From the Boston Globe:

“The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned in a study released Wednesday that people who are infected but have not developed symptoms may still transmit coronavirus, raising new concerns about how infectious the disease is.”

From just yesterday.

From the idiot who appointed Kelly “The Crook” Loffler to the US Senate.

About the only thing I can say about Kemp is that his is not as bad as the fat, crooked lawyer he ran against.

Duh, get with the program Gov. and stop fantasizing over that good looking Senator you recently appointed.

Oh, he may have, but my new policy on the media is to disbelieve anything that they say.

Good thing he’s a governor then. I am thankful he’s not up for re-election until 2022. Hopefully his silly statement will be forgotten by then.

So, we’ll never be able to know when it’s all clear.
