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.
