GOP Governors Opening Up...what could go wrong?

“Georgia’s Governor Kemp is doing some “Reopening “ in the state.”

“Given the favorable data, Kemp said that gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, beauty shops and salons, barbershops, body art studios, and more would be able to open Friday, April 24.”

Beauty Shops?
Barbershops?
Fitness Centers?

What could go wrong?

“Gov. Lee to allow 'Safer-at-Home' to expire April 30 (Tenn)”

“NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Governor Bill Lee will allow the state's "Safer-at-Home" order to expire on April 30 with the most businesses in 89 counties allowed to re-open on May 1”

What could go wrong?

Hades, GA: Today, the Grim Reaper, Satan, Cthulhu, Shiva and the Deities of Destruction Work Group gave a presser and all enthusiastically endorsed the recent decisions to open up states to COVID-19. A massive, GO DEATH banner was erected over the podium to mark the occasion.

"The virus hasn't really been given a fair chance." said Grim Reaper as he swung the cycle of death over a map of the United States.

"We see early openings and all those wonderful protests as providing a more realistic opportunity for greater destruction, " Shiva said with a fire-spewing laugh. "All we are saying is, give death a chance!" he continued as explosions dotted the sky overhead.

"We really want to thank Mr. Trump and the GOP especially for their assistance in our drive to kill, destroy and decimate humanity as quickly as is possible." Satan commented at the black metal, Gothic podium. "The astroturf gatherings for freedom were also a brilliant and unexpected show of support for us." he concluded while snorting thick black smoke out his nostrils.

At the end of the rally, all the major representatives of death held hands, smiled jubilantly and chanted: "SECOND WAVE! SECOND WAVE! SECOND WAVE!" and then bowed and left to get back to work.

Do they lose their jobs in these fields if they refuse to go back to work? I assume the answer is yes, in these states. That would kill totally blameless people.

Nay
