I live in Georgia (born here, did not grow up here, but have been back for more than 20 years. Kemp is an idiot. He's trying to impress Trump. But moreover he is trying to get the massive number of low wage workers off the state unemployment and ON to their employers unemployment insurance. It's a money game. Federal funds will soon replenish the exhausted coffers and that money can then be filtered to businesses (larger businesses and corporations) that may have contributed to Kemp's campaign. Most of my local friends that are business owners are NOT opening on Friday. They have been given no guidance on what the sanitation guidelines will be nor given any guarantee of enforcement of violations. One shop owner does not want a customer coming in from another unscrupulous shop owners facility that may be tainted. Right now there is still a stay in place advisement from our mayor (Augusta, Ga) and the benefit of income may not pay the rent or salaries of employees if they open their doors. But this IS the south and there are many who believe their FREEdumbs have been taken away. But they will be going out to make a statement and will likely have little economic effect. We WILL double hump and have to shut everything down even MORE. That's almost a guarantee. I work in a utility and my company based in ATL stated the other day that Ga is not set to hit its peak of cases for another 2 weeks! So right when we peak the state opens up. This will be messy and hopefully require a recall of Kemp who counted his own votes to claim victory to begin with

Lock down laws seem either too lax or too extreme in the U. S - thus the protests, but I sort of see why some of your Governors are being so strict and that would be due to lack of tests and turn around on results. It's hard to be anything but cynical of those Governors pushing for early open - are they just doing it as they are feeling it in the hip pocket and getting heat from sponsors? I'm in NSW Australia, I'm extremely fortunate because I'm a clerical/office worker who can work remotely. What is closed in NSW is clubs/pubs/bars, camping grounds, state/federal parks, beaches for sunbathing (we can still fish, surf, walk at beaches) unnecessary travel ( 1000 fine if caught. We have cafes and restaurants open (take away only, bottle shops, grocery stores, big box stores (click collect preferred, hair dressers/barbers (half hour appointments only. What is more obvious is not being able to visit relatives and friends, but we house party once a week, I know not the same but better then the consequences. Our state premier will not lift rules quickly, no matter the cost, we will see slow easing of restrictions and schools may open for students in 2 weeks, if not home schooling will continue; but putting a firm date on things is ridiculous seeing that some U. S. aren't flattening the curve as yet.

We live in TN, and my husband is considered to be at high risk because of his disability. He's an 'essential' worker but got a note from his doctor asking his work to let him stay home and isolate to protect his health. I don't understand our governor's position at all. Luckily in Nashville, the mayor is still urging people to stay home but as you said, they don't really have the power to keep things closed. It is scary for him and for me to think that he could be forced to go back to work once non-essential businesses re-open, and we are afraid that he may end up losing his job. Beyond that, it's infuriating to see protestors that hold up signs with things on them like sacrifice the weak (literally a sign one woman held in TN) because they can't stand being home. This is about people's lives. I am not 'sacrificing' my husband just so you can get your nails done. .. I wish people could see the real stories of people affected by this before making choices to go out.

There's freedom of speech. but there's no freedom from the consequences of that speech. Problem is that consequences are supposed to be proportional to the crime and wrong think consequences are way out of proportion to the crime and have been for some time now. Social consequences are supposed to be a correcting factor for anti social behaviour with the chance of redemption clearly on the table. Ostracism is as far as most people should take their actions, they should not engage in retribution. Only people personally and directly aggrieved by the action (not just offended) should seek redress in some form. We have a particularly obnoxious form of social vigilantism operating in society and is usually well organised and uses bully tactics and mob incitement to meet their agenda and quite often cross the line into criminal behaviour.

I live in SC, I am 17 and work at a very busy Subway sandwich shop. Are business has not slowed down very much at all. We are still pushing out close to 55 subs and hour during lunch time. We only had ax s put on the ground a few weeks ago and most people don t even follow those X s rather than crowd the store more than we are supposed to have. Just a few days ago we got a shield for are cash register. And just only today we are being required to wear masks. SC seems to not be enforcing those standards that the federal government has put into place and it worries me. Even though I am 17 I am still working 30-40 hours a week. So I am very exposed to other people because almost everyone comes into the store to order. So SC is taking this situation very lightly except for just today cancelling schools for the rest of the school year.

As someone who lives in Georgia and has her life turned utterly upside down by the pandemic, I still say Kemp is opening our state entirely too fast. Some news articles said it seems like Kemp saw a list of the worst places to open first and decided to do exactly that and I completely agree. My county's confirmed cases numbers increase by 100% every week, and this is with the shelter in place order we have been under. Until we see a drop in the number of cases reported each week I just don't see why this is a smart decision. Kemp's decision seems to be clouded by background politics, or just a general lack of information about what is going on in his own state. It's extremely disappointing and disheartening to know it can cause yet another spike of cases and increased deaths when there was no need for it.

I live in Georgia and I am incredibly disappointed and angry with Kemp s decision. Georgia is nowhere near ready to reopen and it is so so so sad that he rather restart the economy than focus on saving more lives. The sad thing is that people are actually happy with the news, with people in other states using Georgia as an example and justification as to why their states should also reopen, and many governors already planning to do so. I am so embarrassed to live in a state and a country where our leaders who had so much time and money to better prepare for this virus have repeatedly failed the people, and continue to show how greedy and terrible people they truly are. I can only hope and pray that God will save more lives and protect us.

I m from Georgia and a senior in high school. Admittedly, I was upset when I first heard that we wouldn t have our prom, graduation, or senior week, but the more I ve learned about how dangerous and hidden COVID-19 is the more I ve come to terms with it. Now that I m more informed (apparently more than our own governor) I quickly became upset when I learned that our graduation is now uncanceled. I m now nervous of who I should invite if I do invite anyone, and I m nervous of those who live with family members that are in high risk of dying if exposed to others who are asymptomatic. This especially concerns me because this year is set to have the highest number of graduates in my school s history

I tested positive for COVID-19 on the 15th of April. I still have it now, all aspects of this virus suck. The coughing, the inability to breathe how I normally do. I get out of breath folding laundry. With all of this said I think that the states reopening is a terrible idea, because it is way too soon. I haven't been to work since the 23rd of March, I maybe went to the grocery store twice between then and getting my test done. The fact that I had such a limited amount of contact with other and was still able to get this virus means something. I do not think people are prepared for what might happen when these states start opening these businesses. Stay safe out there y'all.
