Georgia Mayor Cancels Social Distancing Order Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Wednesday, the mayor of Cumming, Georgia, announced that he was canceling the city's social distancing order, despite there being almost 5,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in the state.

"Effective immediately I have rescinded the social distancing order that took effect on the morning of April 1, 2020," Mayor Troy Brumbalow wrote in a statement posted to Facebook.

"While the intent of the order was to protect the public from the spread of COVID-19, it is obvious that a large portion of our public doesn't want government mandating the recommendations of public health officials," the statement adds.

His previous social distancing order prohibited any business, establishment, corporation, nonprofit or organization from having more than 10 people in a single location. The order also suspended "all in-dining service at food service establishments in the Cumming city limits."

2. Another fool. Just today, Georgia's Governor ordered lockdown, saying he just

found out that asymptomatic patients could spread the virus. I think that has been common knowledge for over a month. Yet Georgia keeps electing ignorant white wingers and the likes of trump.

The Cumming area went about 75% for trump.

6. It doesn't get much stupider than this.

What kind of a weak leader caves to misguided public pressure over proven scientific recommendations? What a coward! Was he thinking about his own chances of reelection over public health? How many people are going to die because of his foolish flip flopping?

The corona virus is going to hit every one. Maybe these morons won't ever connect their irresponsible behavior with the spread of the virus, or maybe they just don't care as long as they can get their beer and play some pool with their pals.

7. Mayor Troy DumbDumbalow,...

These Fascist Capitalist economic wizards are going to cause an explosion of Covid infections, in their insane rush to get back to work pronto busto.

They will drive the death toll up to 2 million Americans when all is said and done. Then expect/demand a ticker tape parade, because they did not kill every grand mother in the country from coast to coast. There was a very few still left not yet dead.
