Three states in the southeastern US led by Republican governors -- Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee -- are loosening coronavirus-related restrictions in the coming days to try to restart flailing economies.

The reopenings will, necessarily, lead to an increase in coronavirus cases as people leave their homes and interact with others outside their isolation bubbles. Still, the officials are hoping these increases are manageable, and that they are offset by a rejuvenated economy."We have more people moving around, we're probably going to have to see our cases continue to go up, but we're a lot better prepared for that now than we were over a month ago," Georgia Gov.

Sanjay Gupta said Monday night he was"very concerned" about the governor's decision."This one is not a tough call," he said."It doesn't meet the most basic guidelines."South CarolinaSouth Carolina, too, is starting to reopen even though it does not meet the White House's suggested reopening guidelines.Gov.

They should focus more on issue at hand.

Wow

Glad I don't live in the land of the Hatfields and McCoys.

I will be watching the numbers in these states. I hope it doesn’t cause more preventable loss of life.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE!

so when the numbers go back up the governors should be locked up for making people go out in this mess

To restart the economy or to appease trump

If my boss ask me to go back to work without proper protection from coronavirus. If I got coronavirus or I die, I or my family will sue for 10 millions dollars.😉😉😉😉😉 I rich.

Are they doing this while listening to their health experts or not? Or have you looked that far or stopped when you saw republicans?

this is going to be epic as MSM goes on manhunt to prove its causing an increase in COVID 19 & those stupid GOP govs gonna kill us all vs people in ' we're closed til August ' DNC states deciding they want to reopen too and protest louder

The economies aren't 'flailing' they have been halted by Leftist elites through panic news and doomsday predictions that HAVE BEEN PROVEN FALSE AGAIN AND AGAIN! Do you really think you can take Americans hostage through fear tactics AKA TERRORISM? Rise up America!

A good country led by a mad man

Believe it or not but you can stay home even if the government says you don’t have to. Crazy I know.

Don't forget Colorado too. Oh, a Democratic governor there? Does that not fit the agenda? Sorry.

Now for the rest of the states.

Thank God for common sense and the common courtesy most southerners have for their neighbors. That includes social distancing, staying at home when you're sick, and washing your hands.

Not smart. I get it, but not smart.

Excellent!

Good luck to you

Well it is the south..this may be wrong but it is what it is

Good news.

Here comes that second wave!

People are getting sick and dying because they don’t love Capitalism enough I guess

It is called leading

I hope the pros and the cons are considered before taking the steps. Life above wealth

Looking forward to seeing the reports in about four weeks time. The herd needed thinning anyway.

Que Sera Sera.
