Georgia's Republican Governor Brian Kemp claimed he issued a state-wide stay home order because he only had just learned infected people showing no symptoms can be contagious. Kemp then ordered all Georgia beaches reopened, rescinding local coastal municipalities' orders to close their beaches.

Mayor of Georgia coastal town assails governor's 'reckless
mandate' to reopen the state's beaches

CNN)Tybee Island, one of
Georgia's most popular vacation destinations, depends on beachgoers to keep the
town's economy alive.
But in an effort to
curb the coronavirus, the city council voted to close the beaches March 20. The
town went so far as to put up barricades and signs to keep beachgoers away.
The town's good
intentions were upended on Thursday when Gov. Brian P. Kemp issued a statewide shelter-in-place executive order which
supersedes all local orders relating to coronavirus -- and also opened up the
state's beaches.
The governor put Tybee
Island back in the beach business -- whether the town liked it or not.
Tybee Island Mayor
Shirley Sessions fired back on Saturday, issuing a statement saying she and the
town council don't want the beaches reopened now.
"As the Pentagon ordered 100,000 body
bags to store the corpses of Americans killed by the Coronavirus, Governor
Brian Kemp dictated that Georgia beaches must reopen, and declared any
decision-makers who refused to follow these orders would face prison and/or
fines," Sessions' statement read.
"Tybee City Council and I are devastated
by the sudden directives and do not support his decisions. The health of our
residents, staff and visitors are being put at risk and we will pursue legal
avenues to overturn his reckless mandate."

Hugs and kisses are unwelcome. Not visiting parents and friends has become an act of love. Suddenly , you realize that power, beauty and money mean nothing and that you can't even guarantee the oxygen you breathe.
