Georgia Governor Shows Remarkable Ignorance About How the Coronavirus Spreads

Georgia Republican governor Brian Kemp has been a little behind the curve.

Several experts interviewed by CNN said while it’s unclear exactly what percentage of the transmission in the outbreak is fueled by people who are obviously sick versus those who have no symptoms or very mild symptoms, it’s become clear that transmission by people who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic is responsible for more transmission than previously thought.

Kemp isn’t the only Georgia Republican showing his ignorance this week. State House Speaker David Ralston, who has been spearheading an effort to force a delay in Georgia’s May 19 presidential and down-ballot primary , did an interview on Tuesday in which he attacked voting by mail as an abomination favored by “extreme liberal Democrats” that could lead to high turnout. Ralston seems to be under the impression that up until now Georgia required an excuse for requesting an absentee ballot .

A Florida sheriff unleashed a tirade Wednesday against a Georgia state senator who tested positive for the novel coronavirus and traveled to an island vacation home in his county.Franklin County Sheriff A.J. Smith said state Sen. Bruce Thompson, a Republican from White, arrived Tuesday night at his beachfront home in St. George, Florida.Thompson announced March 22 he had tested positive for COVID-19 after being hospitalized with respiratory issues. He could not immediately be reached Wednesday.

And HE STOLE THE ELECTION.

We all have no words. However, is he lying to cover his tracks like Trump would, or is he really that dumb. I believe the former.

lol

“In an admission of stunning ignorance”.... Fixed it.

Funny he’d rather be known as ignorant then a liar. Which, the latter is what he is.

Please note: the CDC headquarters office is 12 miles from the Georgia State Capital

Shocking. Not just him....the whole of Goverment in GA. Where is the CDC? (He asks sarcastically.....😟) GeorgiaPoliticiansAreStupid

This is why we need to be rid of career politicians.
