KKKemp is doubling down on the stupid and evil.

It’s also being broadcast on GA Public Radio.

He is appalling.

Right now, COVID-19 is tearing through Georgia. The number of deaths is trending back up and hospitalizations are climbing. July has brought a record number of cases and a new fight for life in our hospitals.
More than 131,000 people in Georgia have tested positive for the virus, and more than a third of those were in the month of July alone - 49,984.
Testing has increased this summer but not at the same rate. The age of those diagnosed has changed. Young people between the ages 18-29 now represent the greatest share of cases. This is a change from the beginning of the virus in Georgia when most cases were among the elderly.

As cases surged, so has the politics around the virus. Kemp has not issued a mask mandate, instead opting to encourage people to wear masks. Cities across the state have gone a step further by issuing their own mask mandates and more strict restrictions on businesses. As a response, Kemp sued the City of Atlanta.

1. yes he is stupid and evil. He doesn't care about the people of Georgia. This is about

public health, not politics

[mucifer]

2. Wow he said schools can handle outbreaks of stomach flu so they can handle covid

Holy crap!!!!

[CottonBear]

3. The woman doctor said soon COVID19 will be handled like the flu in schools.

Kemp is only concerned about the finances of for profit hospitals and big business.

He and his children attended an exclusive, private prep school in Oconee County. He doesn’t care about my child who attends public school.

He also admits they are choosing the COVID19 data for their “scientific studies.”

4. Going on about how Georgians can't be free if they are mandated to wear masks

and “You know what works better than masks? Social distancing!”

5. I live om Ga. & Om hoping the majority of people here will just continue to mask-up even without

his mask order. That's what y hubby & I are doing. He's kissing DT's a** so much, his whole head is going to disappear soon! What we in Ga. need to watch more closely is how he's going to get his patsy in our State Dept. to keep purging our voter rolls.

6. My mayor and commission have mandated masks for my Georgia community.

My family and I are wearing masks every time we go out, other than in our yard. I also have a face shield, that I got from my work, and I use gloves. We have hand sanitizer at home and in both cars, in addition to disinfecting wipes. My child has only left our neighborhood six times since March 12. My child will be enrolled in online school whenever school starts, which is still being decided by the school board.

Be well and be safe. It’s all we can do right now.
