12. Yip,

Georgia is going to be a disaster.

Texas will be another disaster because it did little testing.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/devastating-internal-government-docs-project-hundreds-of-thousands-will-die-if-pandemic-lockdown-lifted/

Internal government documents obtained by the Center for Public Integrity show that officials are projecting that hundreds of thousands of Americans will die if state governments across the United States lift pandemic lockdown restrictions.

“Federal health officials estimated in early April that more than 300,000 Americans could die from COVID-19 if all social distancing measures are abandoned, and later estimates pushed the possible death toll even higher,” reporter Liz Essley Whyte writes on the Center for Public Integrity’s website. “In the documents, the ‘best guess’ for how things will play out without further mitigation says that coronavirus cases and deaths would double about every five and a half days.”

As horrific as this sounds, experts who spoke with Whyte actually said they were underestimating the death toll of lifting lockdown restrictions.


“Their model’s way too optimistic,” said Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute. “They’re getting their analysis wrong.”

8. GA is just 30 miles from Jacksonville FL.

This will have huge impacts here, even if DeSantis doesn't open up more businesses soon, which I expect mini-me to do. I heard numerous people on the radio talking about going to GA on Fri. to work out at the gyms and get haircuts and maybe even massages. Great!!! They are making us more unsafe and they are fucking idiots. These same people talking had a coworker in ICU for 5 days due to CV and he was only 45. These rw'ers are so fucking stupid, one of them asked will this be safe? The others all said of course it will, there's not been a lot of hospitalizations in southern GA. and this isn't all it's cracked up to be anyway. They damn well know better, but rw'ers got to idiot and risk all of our lives for their stupidity.

14. Yes, they can't use logic,

one of the reasons that this virus is so wicked is that people with good immune systems can have it and walk around with it spreading it to people who are vulnerable. They rationalize that it is just like the flu. Talk is now coming out that this virus may have several strains which will make getting a vaccine extremely difficult.

IMO this virus is way more dangerous than people are giving it credit.

9. That will age well by say...May 6th (or sooner) n/t

10. From Louisiana

We are trying to not be labeled “Southern” in New Orleans, we are from Louisiana. 😂

Our governor says you may soon get a non-emergency surgery if the hospitals are not over-burdened. Not much of a “re-opening”, but enough to fool knuckle-draggers.

The fact nobody mentions his name but only report the remarkable decline in hospitalizations is how a leader works in crisis—let your work be your words. And his best work? Louisiana leads or is among the leaders in the nation in per-capital in testing.

That is leadership.

[gab13by13]

16. Well said,

on the other hand the states that are opening up have done little testing. It will not end well for them.

[Saviolo]

11. What a terrible headline.

In an effort to bring "balance" the first thing they do is report what Trump says about the states opening "safely." This is then followed up by a pretty weak "despite warnings." Stop reporting what he says without analysis. This is dangerous, it is reckless. People are dying. How about "Ignoring serious warnings from multiple agencies, Trump says that US states are opening "safely.""

[gab13by13]

17. This is one of his lies that Tweets can't cover up.

Georgia is going to explode, it did little testing.

[yaesu]

18. those states are breaking his own guidelines for opening back up, what a dumbass. nt

[Miguelito Loveless]

19. There is no danger in letting children into buildings full of sharp glass

We are now letting them in and have yet to have any injury.

[IronLionZion]

20. Americans are safely dying

can't catch the virus if you're dead.

[elleng]

21. 'Trump says' trump lies.

[keithbvadu2]

22. Like always: If it works, Trump takes full credit. If not, he assigns full blame.

23. YEA right follow him. HE's only been wrong

100000000000% of the time!!

24. Why Would He Say That

When there is no data to support the claim? Look at Wisconsin. While they didn't "open up" they did hold an election, which was like a small, temporary opening up, and yesterday it was announced that 6 voters and 1 poll worker have come down with CV-19 traced to 1 polling place. That took 7 days. His "safely reopening" claim is political spin as there is absolutely no data to support the claim. And when the data does emerge it will almost certainly paint a vastly different picture.

25. Who will Trump blame next when we don't rush out in droves to embrace the grand reopening?

In our household; my wife lost her job permanently as a result of COVID; along with our healthcare.

Our short term/mid range outlook is survival mode even IF if we’re safe to go out in public.

We’d love to go back to ‘normal’ however financially; it just cannot happen.

This grand reopening isn’t going to shock the system back to life the way economists believe; methinks.

I reckon we aren’t the ones...

26. Without a doubt, it's another R scam to swindle average workers out of unemployment benefits.

Mark my words.
Mark my post.

You can only fool some of the people some of the time!

Picture in your mind who the most likely employees of the listed businesses in link below that are gonna be allowed to reopen would be. THEN, picture them getting corncobbed on their unemployment benefits. Most of us KNOW, or can google, the usual eligibility rules to qualify for such benefits.

FULL STOP.

Georgia is giving the green light to gyms, hair salons, bowling alleys and tattoo and massage parlors to reopen on Friday, followed by movie houses and restaurants next week. The actions were ordered by Republican Governor Brian Kemp.
