I think GA is being a tad greedy, but I haven't been following their numbers or protocols, just a general sense that May should be when experimental and limited openings begin to occur.  But even though I think things may well end up not great, I'm not hoping for that, nor am I really going to be angry or upset at them for trying.

I have family in Georgia. They are Republicans. One is a state level organizer and hardcore Trump supporter. Even they think Kemp is bananas. Secretly they wish they would have voted for Abrams because they're afraid Kemp is going to kill them.

I presume they will self-regulate then, right?

Probably will have a lot of company on that front.



Maybe the GA experiment will fail because no one will venture out.  I really don't know . . .

Yeah, they are going to shelter in place until a vaccine is developed. They're preppers and have all they need to survive the next 18 months.

I'm not Mick; and my preferred approach would have been to examine businesses on case-by-case basis.  Costco was deemed essential, but the opening bell there was a madhouse for at least 2 weeks before they implemented safety measures.  As stated numerous times, golf and tennis were much less risky than Costco, but not allowed because "not essential."  Is take out food really "essential?"  No, but it's been allowed to proceed, and that's okay by me.  But that's just an example of why I thought (and think) the whole essential v. non-essential is a chimera.

Furthering this, marijuana dispenseries have been deemed essential in several jurisdictions (including, I believe, California).  In Paris, tobacco shops have been deemed "essential".  It's better to view these things as a continuum of need and a continuum of risk.

If marijuana was ever essential now is that time.
