Georgia Governor Allows Gyms, Salons, and Bowling Alleys to Reopen Friday as Coronavirus Cases Climb

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced on Monday that gyms, hair salons, nail salons, barbershops, and bowling alleys will be allowed to reopen in the state on Friday—even as the number of coronavirus cases continues to rise.

During an afternoon press conference, Kemp said that the statewide shelter-in-place order will expire on April 30, however he urged the “medically fragile” to continue to hunker down until May 13.

The governor, who cited the pandemic’s heavy toll on the state’s economy, said that some restaurants and movie theaters can reopen on Monday as long as they adhere to social-distancing guidelines. Bars and nightclubs will remain closed. He also gave the greenlight to churches to hold in-person services.

The announcement comes even as top health officials maintain that the best way to prevent further spread of the virus at this stage of the pandemic is to continue enforced social distancing.

3. Daugherty County, Georgia - 1,436 confirmed cases, 98 deaths, two funerals

That's right, Gov. Gunna Point Mah Shotgun At A Teenager In Mah Campaign Ad.

Your state, your governance, your ineptitude, your purblind pig-ignorance. And now your utter desertion of your responsibilities is going to kill even more people.

Not Atlanta, Daugherty County, a rural county with about 95,000 residents. Two funerals, one in late February and one in early March, were enough to spark the blaze.

Church services, Gov. Numbnuts - church services like those you're now allowing in the face of everything.

Fuck.

4. I can't help but think that trump & rethug governors are doing this

because they don't plan to let us vote this fall. Their strategy appears to be: kill half of us off, then block the rest of us from voting.
