Georgia mayors alarmed by governor's 'reckless' plan to reopen economy

Georgia mayors said they were alarmed by the governor’s decision to reopen the economy this week, as the state joined several others in planning to relax restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19.

The mayor of Savannah called the decision “reckless, premature and dangerous”.

Ignoring public health experts’ warnings that reopening too quickly could cause another spike in cases, Georgia governor Brian Kemp, a Republican, said on Monday some businesses in the state could reopen this week.

From Sunday to Monday evening, 86 people in Georgia died of Covid-19. There is no widespread testing for the virus in the state, which epidemiologists say is necessary for safe reopening.

there's no reason for them to listen to his nonsense about reopening either.
