DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Georgia is one of the worst hit States in the country. I'd MAYBE understand if the State had only 30 cases and 1 death overall this far in the pandemic. But..... This is going to be bad if another outbreak comes out of this.

All I'm saying is listen to medical experts, epidemiologists, and scientists over politicians. Experts. They ARE experts. Others are not. But medical experts are literally saying that it is safe to enter phase 1 of the re-open, specifically in the United States, if that region or state has had a decline in cases for 14 days. Georgia would not be allowed to enter phase 1 if this was not the case. not really understanding your point here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually not arguing that we should just start moving on from isolation but you are being vague when you just say experts with no information. I can say the exact opposite and say experts say so. So many people on here lash out every time a trump supporter ignores their government and then in the same breath here you guys are saying to ignore your governments! How do you not see how it is the same? It’s just hypocritical is all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that continues, Friday would be 10 days, Monday 13 days. Those two dates are when they are scheduled to open things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you not see how it is the same? It’s just hypocritical is all. I'm speaking generally, listen to the experts. It's not complicated. It's not like Trump supporters at all who actually don't listen to experts. And also, being SAFE for yourself is different than partaking in activities that may be unsafe for you and the general public. This is a false equivalency in its highest form.

But at least the data in consistent in total numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
