I actually think the cases could be going down. We showed an increase of about 15% over a few days, but then again we increased testing by 50%. That means things could be getting better, but the liberal governor will try to keep that hidden in order to push through more socialism-type programs.
THe whole thing in Georgia is that there has been no two week decline as laid out in the federal guidelines.

And according to medical experts -- the only way to know how many people have the virus is to test and that is critical to returning to normal.

I'll rely on them.

You have your feeligns -- i have mine.

Seat belts/condoms/sunscreens do not make you lose your income and businesses. Who is going to pay for your rent, mortgage, food, car payments, etc. when you don’t earn an income?

But please continue with your stupid whataboutism and dumb comparisons

Don't be surprised when the reopened restaurants, bars, gyms, theaters, etc. are not filled to full capacity.

I would hope you wont need a mask to go to a bar or restaurant lol

This seems so simple: mind yourself and your family; and mind your own business when it comes to the decisions of others. That’s what freedom is.

That's the point, what someone does is not my business. If they want to go on a date then let them. I cant control what other people do. I expect HUGE crowds at the park today since it will be sunny and 72

Everything in life is either true or false. There is no in between. If something isn't true then it is false. If it is false then it is a lie. When those in power keep saying two more weeks knowing that they intend to keep people in for months then they are purposely lying! When the authorities plot out to purposely lie about a situation to keep the public in compliance then why should anyone ever trust them?

It's easy for retired people getting SS and people that can work from home to say " as long as necessary ".
Say that to people who has no income right now due to the "lockdown".
There are many people who are not getting any money at all and aren't going to be allowed to get money. I am one of them.

It is about mitigating the impact now, easing into lifestyle changes that will help to mitigate further as we ease back into life.

There is no one saying we never do anything again ever.
There have been many saying this is the "new normal" and thus it's not intended to be temporary.

That’s what some people want. They don’t think logically.
