Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) is prohibiting local municipalities across the state from mandating that masks be worn in public to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

Kemp’s executive order issued Wednesday prevents local governments from enforcing mandatory face-covering orders that are more restrictive than the current statewide order. The move effectively voided orders issued by at least 15 local governments across the state, according to The Associated Press.

(Rather than imposing a mandatory requirement,) Kemp’s order states that residents and visitors in the state are “strongly encouraged to wear face coverings as practicable” when in public except when eating, drinking or exercising outdoors.

what the republicans are saying is they do not want to give out anymore
$ becouse they think people are just lazy and do not want to work ... this came from the leader of the KKK... so Wrong!
this pandemic was not those that where working before was not their fault... when they were told to stay home and close their small business and some do not have the luxury of working from home ... to keep their jobs ... and the Reb are taking the credit for new jobs ... when those where the jobs they went back to before the pandemic... unemployment is sky high .... not those who have covid ...not their fault ... people loosing their insurance not their fault ... but yet the republicans want to take it all away and force people back to what ever kind of job they can get and take the chances of getting ill ... this pandemic was handle so badly ... that they want to blame the people for getting it ... not their fault ... also do not want this to be a precondition so ins co do not have to pay ... do not want to give anything to a person or family that is ill from it ... not their fault ...they gave the first wave of $ out mainly to the billionaire ... and some to help with the rent and food an mortgages ...but now we still have the pandemic and is still the first wave of it ... people are scared and all the rep want to do is pull the rug out from under them ...when it was not their fault ... do they not understand if they shut down again or make people wear masks close the beaches OMG and every where they can get it ... in public places ...take out was good enough... delivery good enough ... I can't even get that ... but if they give people enough to hopefully pay their bills so they are not put on the street or have to live with grand parents so they dont get them sick ... remember grandparents take care of these children... that they want to send back to school to ... but most of all people would spend this cash which does help the economy... same old same old ... Know which is the way to do things ... look what all the players wants to go back to sports ...another omg ... but not their fault ... it seems those who live in ivory or glass towers do not or have not understood the people on main street ...who pay for them to live in those places ... just it was good for the republicans is not good for the demarcates ... shut those Casinos down again also ... especially the ones in vagus better to get is over with now ... we will become a poverty country ... which we see that now ... OMG how much $ they gave to the military... that kind of cash could have gotten rid of all of this state to state ...if given to the people in the united states ... even raise taxes on the wealthy would be able to get out of this ... with that ... I believe now they just want people to die ... so they don't have to pay their bills becouse they are ill ...or help get this under control ... its in the air people are just now getting it ... when they cry help... all alone... know help will come ... and u will have crime like you have never seen before and it will not be peaceful ... those AH*les will be dressed to kill ... all ready happening ... stabbed a man becouse they where told to put on a mask ... I wish I could find the humor in this but their is none ...
