I wish I could say that I am surprised, but please. Probably the only person in the state who might be surprised is our “governor.” This guy is a ’rumper fool, and he has probably done more to damage this state in the past couple of months than anyone since I’ve lived here. He was so worried about the economy, but his precious economy will likely now be in dire straits for much longer.

“We’re really seeing a high level of cases. Over 3,500 cases a day across the state are being reported. There’s upwards of 3,000 people hospitalized for COVID across the state and deaths are at the highest level since the epidemic began in Georgia,” said Dr. Ben Lopman, professor of epidemiology and environmental health at Emory University. He told Carr that the cause of spread is simple: we’ve relaxed in social distancing. |

It does not take a brainiac to see that we should not be opening anything right now. Kemp? Hello?

“The risk of transmission in school is really going to be really influenced by how much disease there is in community. Those places across the world that have been able to open schools safely have been able to do so because they got community transmission under control,” Lopman said. |

The insanity continues. I’m afraid August is going to be even worse.
