South Carolina Mayor Warns: ‘Do Not Cross the Georgia Line’

A South Carolina mayor is warning residents to refrain from crossing the Georgia line as Gov. Brian Kemp (R) loosens restrictions in the Peach State.

“I’m telling my folks, don’t go to Georgia,” Gifford Mayor Horney Mitchell said, according to the Daily Beast. “What I tell them is stay home and stay safe. Do not cross the Georgia line.”

Mitchell said that despite Kemp loosening restrictions, Georgia does not have a handle on the virus yet.

The concern comes as Georgia aggressively moves into the first phase of reopening, allowing salons, barbershops, body art studios, and fitness centers to open up, as long as they abide by Minimum Basic Operations. Lines reportedly “started early” last Friday as some of the businesses began to open their doors, giving residents some semblance of normalcy:


Restaurants in Georgia were also able to resume limited dine-in services this week but are required to abide by 39 guidelines laid out by Kemp. Those include limiting the number of patrons in the restaurant to no more than 10 per 500 square feet, banning salad bars and self-serve areas, and requiring employees to wear face coverings.​

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) has taken a more cautious approach to reopening and extended the state of emergency until May 12:

It would make sense and did indeed move all of the at risk patients out of there in a lot of the cases in NYC it appears they did not. They literally put the highest at risk demographic in more risk. Terrible policy.

The lawsuits that will come after this is over will be unprecedented.

I asked this before and didnt get a response, maybe one of the medical peeps will answer. But what is the difference between a herd immunity and a vaccine? My understanding is that most vaccines are just manufactured herd immunity.

Are the proposed vaccines doing something different?

you are talking natural immunity vs acquired immunity. Allowing children to get chicken pox from a cousin so they have natural immunity was very common. All my children had chicken pox. Now that they have the varicella vaccine children are getting, It is very rare for a child to get chicken pox. It presents an issue. The body only remembers and carries certain immunities for a certain period of time without a booster. If there are no children around with chicken pox how do adults get their booster to develop memory cells for varicella? They don't naturally boost, They get the varicella vaccine.
When i was a child there were 3 vaccines.19C24241-AD32-4B1E-A312-36B5B62F77A6.jpeg
This is today's schedule. There's an adult schedule too. Natural immunity is passed from the mother to the child with breast feeding. Every memory cell the mother had is passed on to the infant. Perhaps someone can explain to me why an infant needs the hepatitis series?

Don’t believe these BS articles which are full of bias and half truths..... Here is an example of one article that was written about my building.....we had a few cases in my building..... the positive patients were sent to the covid facility and the few staff that tested positive were quarantined for two weeks and retested before they could come back to work..... we have zero positive cases in our building.... the paper made it sound like we were hiding things and all those cases were active cases.... it was shared on Facebook and there were several comments about us being neglectful, should be sued, don’t care about the patients and so on and so on.... we are not allowed to comment on it but it brought out several family members defending the great job and love we had shown their family member.

Trump administration launching operation to accelerate development of coronavirus vaccine - CNNPolitics

The Trump administration is launching a project to accelerate the development of a potential coronavirus vaccine, a senior administration official said Wednesday. The project, called "Operation Warp Speed," has the goal of manufacturing hundreds of millions of doses that can be made available to Americans by the end of the year, the official said. No vaccine has been created yet, though multiple projects are in the works around the world.

We were able to set up two different covid buildings but our out break is not that bad..... in NYC, there was so many people caught it.... they may not have been able to do it bc of staffing..... some facilities may try to separate positive patients on different halls but with limited staffing the chance of spread is intensified....every single employee that tested positive and has to be out two weeks.

Are you going to get the antibody test when it's more common?

This I would be interested in just to see . Also it may help in some way . I’m not anti medical I just don’t see the logic in mass testing unless you are seeking medical attention or taking part in a study group .

Where are you in VA? I'm in the Roanoke area, the rona is pretty much non existent here and they have begun to furlough nurses and some doctors

Norfolk, and we have nurses who are not getting their hours. Several are coming to ICU which has its own set of problems but They are tasking only. They put in a recent update we were not going to run respiratory panels on people but go straight to a covid19 test @Rickyvol77 any rationale behind this?
We've tested people who clearly don't fit the criteria and been made to follow procedures for covid19 intubation that have delayed treatment.
Driving home this morning 64 was almost back to parking lot status. The natives are getting restless. I think wreck it Ralph is being ignored.
