No souls to steal?

From a conversation, I said this:
As for Kemp ... he is in a bind.
Georgia has an absolute 'Balanced Budget' in our Constitution ... no exceptions ... period!!!
That is what is driving this.
Unemployment will run out on the affected business's employees ... sucks for them.
No one really talks about it but that's what its all about.

He's innovating . People aren't going to unnecessarily risk their lives with their new found freedom. This could go very well. I realize I'm probably one of the few that thinks this could be positive . I just wish I didn't live so far away I need a hair cut bad.

Most States have a balanced budget requirement in their Constitution. MoscowMitch wants them to go bankrupt. Imagine what that would do for the market. Mnuchin wants government ownership of some companies. There is a name for that.

Is this what Cult 45 signed up for?

Georgia actually has a hard and solid balanced budget.
It’s not a BS one states like Illinois have.
Officials that violate that will be in legal violation of the constitution.

I'm guessing some states may have to look at what is in the budget.
Just my first thought.

Agreed. The devil "winning" would not have fit the narrative.

It will be interesting to see the trends in Mid-May as the effect of 'Opening Up Georgia' takes place.

'Interesting' is the only word I could think of ... unfortunately, I don't possess a vast vocabulary like you!

Will all of the new cases be linked to eating at the Waffle House?

Studies are starting to show little difference of infection rates between with and without lockdowns.

Studies are starting to show little difference of infection rates between with and without lockdowns.

Would you be kind enough to link to a reputable study showing that?

You can easily google it yourself.

That way you can't claim the study isn't "reputable".

Studies are starting to show little difference of infection rates between with and without lockdowns - Google Search


Couldn't find any 'study' that says that.

Now, we face another, even greater problem: how to sensibly re-enter normal life. This must be based on what we now know, not on worst-case projections, using facts and fundamental medical knowledge, not fear or single-vision policies.

First, we know the risk of dying from COVID-19 is far lower than initially thought, and not significant for the overwhelming majority of those infected.
Multiple recent studies from Iceland, Germany, USC, Stanford and New York City all suggest that the fatality rate if infected is likely far lower than early estimates, perhaps under 0.1 to 0.4 percent, i.e., 10 to 40 times lower than estimates that motivated extreme isolation.
In the Big Apple, with almost one-third of all US deaths, the rate of death for all people ages 18 to 45 is 0.01 percent, or 13 per 100,000 in the population, one-eightieth of the rate for people age 75 and over.

Second, protecting older, at-risk people helps prevent hospital overcrowding. Of New York City’s 38,000 hospitalizations, less than 1 percent have been patients under 18 years of age. Studying 4,103 confirmed COVID-19 patients with symptoms bad enough to seek medical care, Dr. Leora Horwitz of NYU Medical Center concluded: “Age is far and away the strongest risk factor for hospitalization.”

Third, due to fear and the single-minded focus on COVID-19 regardless of cost, other people are dying. Critical medical care isn’t being provided. Millions of Americans have missed critical health care for fear of encountering the disease, and people are dying to make room for “potential” coronavirus patients.

I actually clicked through the links, and what I saw was that we need to test for antibodies first. Science doesn't say it's time to ease the restrictions. Right now we know of at least 1.08 million confirmed US cases, probably 1.1 million by the time I post. There have been 62,444 deaths. Do the math.
