I'll explain further what I mean by "dumbshit":
The governor in the state above said she didn't issue a stay at home order "because we are not California". Then, she changed her mind when it was pointed out to her that the death rate in her state is essentially same as it is in California and may accelerate ahead of it...
The governor in Georgia issued his after stating yesterday that he didn't know asymptomatic carriers could spread the coronavirus.

Oh, well, after weeks of resistance, he was really Johnnie-on-the spot with that one, now wasn't he?
Along with the beaches, he also excluded the churches:
"Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, issued a stay-at-home order that went into effect on Friday evening. His order allows religious services as long as people stay six feet apart when worshipping. But given how how crowded services may be, and the constraints of church pews, it seems impossible to maintain at all times. Moreover, the six-feet-apart guidelines are more of an estimate, and scientists say that for indoor encounters, six feet of separation is a minimum."

I want him to issue an executive order for stay at home for those remaining red states that refuse to do so.

"If in his judgment"? Are you kidding? He ought to listen to Fauci instead of simply declaring, "There's going to be a lot of death in the US next week"...

For failing to issue a stay at home order...
"The people themselves are primarily responsible for their safety."
 "Studying the data"
"pushed back on Fauci's remark that questioned why all states have not issued stay-at-home orders.
"I would say that maybe he doesn't have all the information," 
"What I think we should really focus on is improving compliance and adherence," Lawler told reporters. "This depends on people taking this seriously and doing the right thing."
"Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas continued to defy calls for a statewide order and dismissed Fauci's comments."
"We are not ordering people to stay at home, but from the very beginning we've been telling people to stay home."
"stay home, stay safe"
"changing behavior right now."
Aides to several of the Republican governors said the only persuasion that was likely to move their positions was specific guidance from the President. The blind leading the blind...
