Fauci's comments come after numerous states, including Georgia and Tennessee, have said they would reopen parts of their economies soon.
Suicide mission !
Bullheaded! GovKemp
Love Trump but he was covering his ass. Get it done governor, you’re doing the right thing.
I wish them all the best of luck. I know CNN wants the country to fail, but let us pray the country gets back on its feet.
A lot of lives will be lost because of this fool. 🤦🏾♀️
GovKemp thanks for selecting your citizens to be the first Guinea pigs! I’m sure realDonaldTrump is so proud of your super smart decision!! goodluck COVIDIOT
How does this network get away with this?!? Colorado reopening in line with Georgia but their cases and deaths are clearly trending upward. All because Colorado has a Democratic Governor. It’s no wonder no one watches this rag of a network...
You have our support and prayers
Great job. Yay..
I'm interested in finding out the level of customer participation. Go ahead be the Guinea pig.
Plain stupid.
Epidemiology 101 in the state Of The CDC obviously this governor is suffering from PTSD- give him Federal aid - which he would take
Gov. Kemp wants to kill off half the population of Georgia so he can tout his low unemployment numbers after the virus abates. Typical republican move. SMH
2 idiots.
Liberate Georgia, who does not wish to socialize just yet, may still stay home.
jgwilliams4 After he told him to reopen. Why the sudden change of plan?
KempCorona Idiocy, ignorance of Trump who started all this 'liberate' and now insistent bigotry of Republican governors to re-open will generate devastating deaths of innocent Americans, who is going to blame who next in this insanity of lies Wish Health
This guy looks as if he is dead already. Is that the reason, why he doesn't care about others?
I no more support or trust Gov. Kemp than I trust Dr. Oz. This man has one thing on his mind ....power. Sorry Stacy Abrams got cheated out the governorship. She would have been wonderful.
An idiot for a governor.
Just shows Trump wants no blame for an IGNORANT governor.
He can’t force me out of my house. I deleted my nail salons text about being open and then told them to stop sending me text,me! We’ll see what happens in a month and what the second wave has done to Georgia before I even consider leaving the house!
Trump says one thing in public, and another in pvt to one of his most loyal supporters , the GA GOVERNOR. Trump will very soon tell us in a tweet how he really feels, which is, he supports what GA is doing. Trump lies all the time to the American people.
He does know where it is right
He is beyond crazy playing politics with peoples lives why does he not go to the CDC
Hahaha Kemp is a fool. He had to rig the election to barely 'win' and now this backfires on pleasing Trump. The scary part is what this does to the people.
'I told the governor of Georgia Brian Kemp that I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities, which are in violation of the phase one guidelines for the incredible people of Georgia,' LOL... Why does he call everyone Great, Incredible and etc?
Stay out of the hospitals when you get sick. Save the beds for those that want to live.
Stupidity is the name.
KempKILLS I live in Georgia and I am not going out. Let Kemp go first as a test subject.
My condolences to everyone in Georgia.
Just remember that when your state men and women start to drop off and your hospital start getting over work due to your choice to reopen it's on your head or your nightmares
This Governor knows that trumps saying that he disagreed means just the opposite, yes reopen full steam ahead. We all know by now trump never says what he means, and later he will even retract that statement.
Good for Kemp. Freedom is a good thing
Stay at home
Unbelievably idiotic!!!
Deer in headlights....
So grateful I no longer have any reason to be in or near Georgia.
Plain stupid and ignorant.
So are you guys going to slam her for this or what?
Such a kook person
YES let them MAGATS work bitch!
Desperate Housewives of Atlanta COVIDー19 georgia
Then hold him accountable and sure the heck of him. 🙄
jswartz USAGNDC The Smyrna hotel where I had reserved a room today sent a cancellation. Considering what GovKemp is doing, it's probably a life-saver.
Get the attorneys ready!!
Trump is full of it. He called for states(his base) with DEM Governors to LIBERATE their states but now say he doesn't agree with Georgia. He's terrible.
Check out my Gig on Fiverr: professional design real estate logo
I hope this decision doesn't further stress an already-fragile health system.
wait and see, wait and see
He is stuck in the middle. He thought he was kissing trumps ass and trump rolled on him. He can’t reverse his decision without looking terrible, and now more people will die.
Even though positive cases are rising. He might as well just tell his constituents that he doesn't care if they die.
The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.
With any luck k the people of Georgia will act more responsibly than their governor and stay at home
GovKemp It's a no win situation for Kemp. He bought into Trump's screwed up game of politics. How could he not foresee that Trump would make it look like he's calling the shots for state of Georgia--not local Gov. Citizens's Health first, economy 2nd. HHSGov LiberateAmerica
Good luck to Georgia
Shithead gov trying to massacre his constituents, instead of opening more of the essentials, he’s starting with irrelevant businesses where there would be direct contact with people that will see infections on the rise...smh
Idiot!
How did this idiot get elected
KAAAA-booooooommm
He hasn't been back on planet Earth very long Still catching up on stuff
Let’s do it safely
I thought realDonaldTrump wanted no lock down and businesses to open.
God help the people of this state.
He just really wants to kill everybody in his state...
The first shot into my foot wasn’t that bad. I’d like to ask the president to drive a bus over me as I writhe in pain
Hope you have good insurance to cover your willful and gross negligence ...
How is this possible if the locations do not comply with the rollout phase? I thought they couldn’t start opening until they met the published guidelines. What am I missing here?
Trying to out Trump Trump?
Spain cancelled the Running of the Bulls Germany cancelled Octoberfest Georgia wants to open the massage parlors
Oh you a special kind of stupid
Help all of the sensible people evacuate then build your wall around Georgia.
Ignorance over facts. Arrogance over compassion. Money over life.
You can’t fix stupid.
As the commanding officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, Crozier wrote a letter warning Navy leaders that 'the spread of the disease was ongoing and spreading' That's good enough for me.
Just nuts
You Go Governor, the rest of the country be Dammed....
So is this a man falling on his sword for Trump? It’s just all very awkward.
Trump doing what he does best, says one thing and behind the scene the opposite. I'm sure the Governor got the ok from trump privately.
What makes Democrat Communist Party members think that WE THE HEAVILY ARMED PEOPLE WILL let the communist democrats steal the Nov.3,2020 ELECTION by MAIL IN VOTER FRAUD?Trump,WalkAway,CandaceOwensBlexit,INDEPENDENT VOTERS HAVE ALL THE GUNS.REALLY,WE WON'T LET DEMOCRATS NEAR POWER
Yes. Go for it. You’ll be the next President
lier lier pants are on fire. You know your not
Hopefully the businesses and people are smarter than their governor.
Hay Kemp by the look on your face looks like ya got 'pretty' close to Trumps hole, too bad he let one go....
Oops...that didn't quite go the way he thought it would.
This may be his last term as governor..., his constituents won’t forget...
Poor people
what a FOOLhope that the people are smarter and sick for safe ways to save their lives🙏
Consequences of electing a cow boy
People should start to line lawyers up for the class action lawsuit thats coming Kemps way..........
But he was told strongly😂😂😂😂
This might just get more people sick. I guess no none will really learn until they do get sick. Shame...
Kemp is a fool he wants people to die in Georgia! It’s unfortunate he is a leader without common sense!
Don’t worry, if the state comes out with very little covid-19 sickness, Trump will take the credit for the decision
He’s his own man.
Hate to see anyone get covid-19 but governor of Georgia seems like he wants it
If you live in Georgia, has some real talk with your boss about the medical bills that Covid19 will lay on your insurance. If you don't have insurance, try your best to stay home, push for an A B shift set up. These rich people don't care.
The a$$hole is using people’s lives as table stakes in his long shot attempt to be a hero by re-opening first without a spike in Covid cases. Don’t be fooled thinking he has the good of the people in mind here...only doing this for himself.
So the people of Georgia need someone to tell them whether to stay home and stay safe or not ? WTH
And you have not even consider the danger you are putting your citizen on to. Have you provided the protection in plan to safeguard the people of Georgia. Hope you pay the price for it.
Thoughts and prayers
Some time ago the Govener was a Peanut Farmer. Now he's just Nuts
Make sure your saw is sharp Governor
Georgia playing like they have a 28-3 lead in the 3rd on COVID-19.
Yep and Arkansas is on full open May 4th! Woohoo.
Idiot!
Maybe he figures the last election was too close. So why not get rid of as many black people as he can before the election? He must have seen the stats. 50% of all deaths in GA. are blacks after all. I wouldn't put it past him.
Trump is flippant and speaks out of both sides of his neck. You can’t believe anything he says. Only a fool would trust what he says. He doesn’t cover this up about himself, yet people believe every word that comes out of his mouth. Trump’s truth is trumped up with no truth. 👈🏽
gym and some hair salon 💇🏻♂️ will not open this Friday, they are not really ready, they need time to establish their businesses in this new stage of pandemic 🦠‼️😷BrianKempGA don’t care 🤷♂️
Are they starting with the most at risk businesses?
Trump and other Repubs are terrified at the possibility that Georgia will suffer a massive new wave next month, into summer. The possibility is real.
So sad
Apparently, GovKemp has not heard about TheRickWilson's law: ETTD

Good for him
I feel that they’re using Georgians as test subjects to see about reopening the rest of the country. I’m sorry to the Georgians who are against this. I wouldn’t want this to happen in my state. Not yet.
You r a horrible person.....You Betta Think....
.GovKemp This is what happens when you STEAL a job you're not qualified for. 😂🤣😂🤣 You demand they open... the public will listen to the scientists & medical professionals. 😜
Idiot Kemp. Like we really need a massage and then go bowling 🤦
donwinslow The more blank and brown folks he can put at risk, the fewer who will be able to vote. All planned. Evil incarnate.
Georgia had 1,233 new cases today,an increase of over 6% in one day And 50 more deaths , also up over 6% in a day At this rate,they will go from 21k in cases to 42k and 848 deaths to 1700 by May 2 Is this FlatteningtheCurve? Were they just unlucky today? COVIDIOT Reopen
Let the ShermanVirus rage says the Governor
My grandpa has a saying. When you see someone suffering don’t feel sorry for them because you don’t know what was in his or her heart. You never know what they did behind closed door to make them suffer like that. My grandpa pasted in his sleep at 95 yrs old
Make sure and message Trumps feet and shoulders next time you see him...Oh, and clip his toenails.
This is a virus with no vaccine for a cure and the virus wants & needs a host to infect, it will mutate, even infect animals to do what it’s evolving to do...so 1-2 weeks after this reopening of GA...I pity the poor hospital front line workers..
It's hard to accept, but Pres. Trump's rebuke of Gov. Kemp was one of the few times he was right. Maybe he's finally starting to act like a President should. Let's all pray that he will continue to be that way.
Dumb & Dumber
This goes back to Trump wanting Collins for the Senate seat, Kemp picked Loeffler instead. Republican party infighting at its finest.
Enjoy your freedumb!
Sherman's march to the sea all over again? How many times do we Yankees have to teach you this lesson? statesrights
Smh. Opening up areas in Georgia will only put more minorities in the line of death. Don’t listen to this fool. Stay home. You know this virus is hitting the minority community very hard. They just want to use black as a case study and tell you oh we have a vaccine for you to try
Good, and when people get sick and die....... you have no sympathy from me
Good for him.
GovKemp hope you’re right champ because realDonaldTrump left your ass hanging
Did the FloridaMorons cross over the border into Georgia Soon we will have Georgiamorons breeding with FloridaMorons and they will birth Southernmorons
Trump left him out to dry
Just stay out of Canada...
For once, I agree with Donald Trump on this-(of course, he said the exact opposite, only weeks ago, so GOD knows what Trump is going to tell us, next) StopAiringTrumpNow
Do you think this had anything to do with prostitution or sex trafficking?
What a quandary for CNN. They want the economy to continue to tank so argue against Georgia opening. But they hate Trump so how do they respond to his opinion agreeing with theirs? TDS is heading into new and unexplored lands.
No 'Liberate Georgia' tweet?
How come you Americans keep electing idiots?
You guys should expand and extend your quarantine policies. Go away and come back in a year or so ok?
Let me guess. “Kiss kiss your ass I kiss”
Under the bus. Same with my gov here in Alaska....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is high y’all...
caveman
winning! people need their gobs to pay for food and housing
Georgia needs to change their state bird to the coal mine canary...
How many people do you have in mind, you know...how many?
Is this some new reality TV show that I'm not aware of
go ahead and open asshat Smart people please stay home & stay safe. This experiment is going to end badly. Don't be an * death in the statistics records of more stupidity by republicans. Even if you area trump supporter, stay safe don't risk loved ones
Aaaaand he hangs yet another flunkie out to dry. You hate to see it. 🤦♂️
We shall point the finger at Gov Kemp when his constituents start dying. He knew better. He was told. He was warned. Shameful.
Gee I guess he has now turned on you!!
Wow. Going against daddy. Probably his first time.
Well, I am not going to visit Georgia nor Vegas anytime soon.
In private President Trump agreed with the Governor.
realDonaldTrump was right in this. Very risky services you’re opting for
I guess it's time to look at GovKemp 's campaign fund to see which of those businesses with an early opening gave money to him. Or maybe the massage parlors paid him off in 'handies'.
As a Georgia resident who didn't vote for this clown Kemp , it's sad to see our state getting trashed & made a laughing stock. Laws need to be changed so that no ONE person EVER has the power to open & close a state. The legislature should have had to vote on this. KempKILLS
cathid4 Please don’t get the Covid vaccine when it come out -
Who's buying this sales pitch by both
There goes Georgia. Poof.
This redneck is completely nuts, but don't blame him. He only speaks for his constituents in Georgia that elected him.
Natural selection at its finest.
I'm cool with Kemp on this one.
In about three weeks trump will come out and say he hardly knew kemp they spoke maybe once or twice took a few photos you know I take a lot of photos but I told him not to do it I never even met the man
This is why Biden is winning in a landslide.
A real AmericanHero OPENAMERICANOW
Kemp is a genuine idiot. He had to suppress the vote to get himself elected
Hey, just keep Georgians in Georgia. I'm certainly not going there any time soon.
Stupid is what Stupid does !
Why is Colorado given a pass on this They’re doing the SAME thing.
Deedle dee.
All the time they want to take your place The back stabbers (back stabbers) All the time they want to take your place The back stabbers (back stabbers) All you fellows who have someone and you really care, yeah, yeah
Dude’s an idiot. Just wait lol
Bravest man in America. I'll gladly work for him in the future.
That was quick!
And now we wait for Darwinism to do its thing.
Idiot
He's killing citizens. Should be personally sued for all deaths on and after 'open' date and charged with murder.
Kemps a kixxer
I'm surprised we have not seen states like Utah or NC go first.
A little CYA eh Trump?
Some Trump supporters are gonna gave an existential crisis with that sentence.
Great
Ccscccfegc
Think he is in for a rude awakening and if anything maybe a few governors will show up
Bye, Atlanta.
This guy should be charged for endangering the lives of his state. What an ignorant criminal mindset
Stupid
FAKE NEWS
Here he is, the poster boy for gullible and stupid.
I agree. Don't let States owe the federal government. A Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Trump already covering his ass and threw Kemp under the bus because of this shit goes wrong he’s gonna claim he innocence as usual and blame someone else as usual. Same SSSSSSSHHHIT different day!
What's your real reason? What's your ulterior motive?
