Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said on Monday that certain businesses in the US state could reopen as soon as Friday -- catching local mayors and officials off guard.

Albany Mayor Bo Dorough and Augusta Mayor Hardie Davis Jr. speak with CNN's Don Lemon. CNN

"We were all caught off guard quite frankly surprised that the governor moved as swiftly as he did to open the state back up," Augusta Mayor Hardie Davis Jr. said. "I’ve already heard from several health care workers who have worked tirelessly, risking their lives to care for those who have been impacted by Covid-19, feel that this is a slap in their faces," she said.

Our (one-term) Governor hates science Kemp said he expects the number of cases to continue to rise, but that the state is more prepared to cope with a rise because of the increased capacity, knowledgeable healthcare workers and “community knowledge” of the disease.

This isn’t close to being over and a second wave will rise again sooner than later because of the dumb ass Governor’s like this guy. I know the economy needs to be re-opend but this is absolutely ridiculous. This needs to continue until at least June if not longer.

'Kemp was among the last of the nation’s governors to impose statewide social-distancing measures, and now is among the first to begin lifting them.'

I thought such type of governance existed only in the third world countries

The guy didn't know asymptomatic people can spread the virus 2 weeks ago.

Mayor, trust this blessing that is in disguise. Kemp, not you, but just like donald, will own this once it goes south.
