Covidiot Governors Risking New Virus Outbreak

Following the wish of their Dear Leader to recklessly open businesses and spur the spread of the coronavirus, three governors of southern states are relaxing public health standards in their states. The moves come as the most extreme death cultists supporting malignant narcissist Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump gathered in relatively small numbers in a coordinated, astroturfed campaign to "reopen" businesses closed by the pandemic.

One of the Trumpist governors, the detestable ignoramus Brian Kemp of Georgia, actually included such businesses as gyms, barber shops, beauty and nail salons, and massage therapists (ed.: probably a personal request of Kemp's) that could open as early as April 24. How you maintain safe social distance in, for example, a nail salon is beyond us. But then, this is the governor who didn't know COVID-19 could be spread by infected people who were asymptomatic. It was Kemp that obsequiously waited for a nod from Trump to impose restrictions in Georgia just a few weeks ago. His explanation of the timing was especially lame:

"When pressed on the timing of his action, Kemp conceded that 'we're probably going to have to see our cases continue to go up,' but said the state is more prepared to handle it. 'If we have an instance where a community starts becoming a hot spot, then, you know, I will take further action. But right now (I) feel like we're in a good spot to move forward,' he said."  (our emphasis)

Two other #covidiot Trumpists, Govs. Bill Lee of Tennessee and Henry McMaster of South Carolina, also heard their master's voice and will "reopen" their citizens to COVID-19 spread within days. When, not if, the coronavirus starts ramping up in those states, these three dangerous hacks need to be held accountable for the illnesses and deaths that will follow.

BONUS: Former FDA Administrator Scott Gotleib had this comment on CNBC today regarding Kemp's brain dead decision:

 “Gyms, nail salons, bowling alleys, hair salons, tattoo parlors — it feels like they collected, you know, a list of the businesses that were most risky and decided to open those first."  

Because Kemp's part of the Trump death cult, he didn't say.
