Three weeks into the Georgia’s coronavirus reopening process, the state continues to post declining new cases and new deaths from the contagion, says GOP Gov. Brian Kemp.

While announcing the encouraging the encouraging numbers, he also urged residents to “remain vigilant” in their fight against the disease.

Georgia became one of the earliest states to move toward reopening its broadly shuttered economy, with Kemp allowing some businesses to re-open on Apr. 24 under restricted conditions.

DeSantis and Kemp see low death rates in states despite media hate

By Eddie Scarry| Washington Examiner May 12, 2020 04:12 PM

There’s been no surer way to end up on the national media’s blacklist amid the coronavirus pandemic than to say the words “reopen” and “economy.”

Naturally, that’s where Govs. Brian Kemp of Georgia and Ron DeSantis, both Republicans, found themselves the second either of them began loosening up statewide restrictions on normal business operations in recent weeks. For that, the entire media began casting them as reckless science-doubters who were effectively inviting new outbreaks and mass deaths within their states.

But neither state has experienced an outbreak. In fact, both Florida and Georgia are doing well, with COVID death rates well below the national average of 25 per 100,000 people. In Georgia, it’s 13. In Florida, just 8.

So how are the media’s COVID-19 governor heroes doing? Daily press briefings by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, are run top to bottom live on cable news outlets, and his performances are cherished by the press. The New York Times last month called Cuomo’s delivery “articulate, consistent and often tinged with empathy.” The paper also likened the briefings to a “tender embrace.”

That soft hug, however, is currently accompanied by the shockingly high death rate of 139 per 100,000 people, a number that was boosted in part by Cuomo’s appalling decision to force nursing homes to accept any elderly person who had been infected with the virus. This directly exposed many high-risk people to the coronavirus and has probably resulted in many deaths.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is a Republican, but he gets a lot of love from the press because he’s always ready to attack President Trump. His state isn’t doing so hot, either, with a rate of 28 deaths per 100,000. That means Maryland has a death rate more than twice that of Georgia.

There are probably infinitely many reasons for the state-by-state discrepancies in outbreaks, all of which will have to be studied. But at least for now, the governors heralded by the media are not necessarily the ones people should be looking to for guidance.

Trump needs to revisit his comments on Georgia. Clearly Dr. Fraud was WRONG.
Trump needs to move on from Dr. Fraud and the INFLATED death rates for the Chinese virus.
This COVID-19 was a FRAUD. It is not as deadly as other viruses we have had.

Fauci lied to fatten his pocket deal with Bill Gates, they are both pathetic parasites and more dangerous than the China Virus that was released intentionally in my opinion with the Democrat party involved.

DeSantis is AWESOME. He is also taking on Common Core and gutting that too!
Kemp has courage too! I think the warmer weather makes it SAFER for them to open up!

Don’t know where these ridiculous stats came from
139 deaths per 100,000 . Makes it 0.139% ! And that is NYC ?

Whole of America has had 1.45 Million cases
Deaths 85,000
That is 5.8%

Florida
1837 deaths with 42400 cases
4.3% death rate

American exceptionalism by fake maths ?

Or are they now counting total population to death which is not used anywhere in the world just to make it look good ? LOL !

As the disease spreads by removing lockdown early without getting ppl to use the mask /preventive measures you’ll surely see a rise in cases .

china tried that and ppl are dying in streets/homes and school kids are dying while they play in school
but hospitals are emptied to make it look like they have no cases !

That is chinese exceptionalism !.

stupidity kills.

Off topic – It’s the SOS repackaged. Remember Obamcare missed being “repealed and replaced” with just ONE VOTE – McShame. This is all prearranged on who will take the swamp hit. Later we found out the GOP had NO replacement plan ready! It was all political theatrics to get re-elected!

U.S. Senate blocks bid to curb surveillance of Americans’ internet habits
Patricia Zengerle

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate narrowly blocked an amendment on Wednesday that would have prevented law enforcement from collecting information on Americans’ internet habits without a warrant, as the Senate moved toward a reauthorization of divisive surveillance tools.

The Senate defeated the amendment sponsored by Republican Senator Steve Daines and Democrat Ron Wyden by 59-37, just short of the 60 votes that would have included it in legislation to renew three surveillance tools used in national security investigations that expired two months ago.

Senators voted 77 to 19 to back another amendment, sponsored by Republican Senator Mike Lee and Democrat Patrick Leahy, to allow outside legal analysts to serve as independent advisers for the court that oversees surveillance-related warrants.

Senate leaders agreed to allow votes on the amendments as part of a compromise as they sought to renew the surveillance rules, which are fiercely opposed by privacy advocates but defended by intelligence agencies as essential to catching foreign spies and combating extremism.

The authorities, part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), expired on March 15. The House of Representatives had passed a bipartisan compromise bill that would have extended them, but the measure failed in the Senate as lawmakers scrambled out of Washington to escape the coronavirus pandemic.

On Thursday, the Senate will consider a third amendment, offered by Republican Senator Rand Paul, that would bar the FISA court from authorizing surveillance of a U.S. citizen.

Senators are then due to vote on the amended legislation renewing the expired intelligence authorities. But since it has been amended, the legislation must be considered by the House of Representatives before it can be sent to the White House for President Donald Trump to veto or sign into law.

Trump has not yet announced his position on the bill. He had been a critic of FISA, convinced that surveillance tools covered by the legislation were improperly used against his 2016 campaign.

But his opposition seemed to have eased in March after Attorney General William Barr wrote the bill renewing the FISA authorization with Republicans and Democrats that was passed by the House, including reforms that addressed Republican concerns about surveillance of Trump’s campaign.

This shows just how much, and to what extent, elections have consequences. Both Florida and Georgia dodged a bullet by their respective picks of DeSantis and Kemp. Had those states fallen under the naked meth-head Andrew Gillum and fat pig Stacey Abrams, not only would their economies and people’s freedoms and way of life been totally destroyed, but the entire states would have been under total martial law by now with NO plan for reopening EVER.

These doctors, as well as others, need to wake up to the fact that while their scientific views are useful in strategizing about certain pathogens, when it comes to public policy they are woefully ignorant.

Fauci’s Napoleon complex is wearing thin.

Agree. But ALSO…. his Science is flawed. He(They) used a DEEPLY flawed model. And he is NOT the ONLY qualified person to speak ob this Virus…. AND there are conflicts of interest with Fauci support the Wuhan Bio-Weapons lab abd Bill Gates Vaccine program.

As NY, CA, IL, WA, OR and the other blue states refuse to reopen and suffer a deepening depression while TX, FL, GA, OK, ND, AZ open and avoid an economic catastrophe a great question will arise. Are the taxpayers of he open mostly Red states to pay for the follies of the blue states? I doubt they can be persuaded willingly to do so.
