āWe continue to watch the data and the numbers,ā Kemp said earlier this week.
Because, you know, numbers are not really the data Iām interested in. Itās polling data that Iām most concerned about. And if I donāt like the numbers, Iāll just ignore them while I also ignore the health experts. Just because the CDC is in Atlanta doesnāt mean I have ready access to their expertise.

Brilliant. Another feather in the GOP cap.

It would be reasonable at this point to accuse Kemp and, more generally, southern Republicans to be objectively pro-pandemic.

Kemp has also privately expressed reservations about Mayoral attempts to prevent people pushing the elderly into the path of oncoming trains, and efforts to prevent throwing wayward children from atop tall buildings.

If a time traveller had gone back from 2020 and said the GOP would openly work against the containment of a global pandemic, yet still have voter support, even I wouldnāt have believed it.

As a Georgia resident, Kemp has appalled me just as he appalls people and businesses whose behavior is exactly the opposite of his position. Mask-wearing is such a simple thing. It is so basic that a toddler can grasp the concept. Yet, he only suggests that people wear a mask.
As a teacher, Kemp disdains anyone in education with his adamant position that schools should be open and damn the consequences. My school will remain closed to in-person instruction at the beginning of the year. However, I know of other schools that will open their doors a couple of days per week in deference to the wishes of Kemp and Trump. It only takes one infected person in that environment to light a viral fire throughout the population. Anyone with a a couple of brain cells can extrapolate what happens when that occurs.
