You probably ought to read Georgia’s guidelines for reopening before you criticize them.

1. Who should continue to shelter in place:

2. Restaurants - other businesses have similarly detailed regulations. Notice “10 patrons per 500 square feet,” which equals about 7 feet in between them.

3. Places deemed “Critical Infrastructure” (similar régulations from non-critical infrastructure as well)

4. Gyms and fitness centers

5. Tattoo parlors, estheticians, hair designers, massage therapists, and tanning facilities

6. Movie theaters
7. Bowling alleys

Bottom line is that whether you agree with Kemp’s decision to reopen some businesses or not, you can see that the details of the process are thorough. The idea that he is just opening the floodgates willy-nilly is absolutely wrong.

I have a feeling many businesses in these categories will probably not reopen because they cannot meet these guidelines. It’s only a slight change from before, and a very precise change at that. (End thread)
