First, I want to recommend a business — the family are friends and they sponsor my radio show. If you need to try to get a payroll protection program loan for your small business, please consider my friends at First Liberty of Georgia. They can’t guarantee anything. No lending institution can. But they will do their best to help and they don’t have a big bank’s bureaucratic structure. You can visit them at
Here in New Mexico, I see people out walking and running, frequently with their dog(s). I fancy that the dogs have that WTF expression - "You walked me once when I was six months old and suddenly, now that I'm ten years old, you're walking me several times a day."
We've had anti-lockdown protests up here in Pennsylvania too, but at least in my rural county, we're still closed and nobody's complaining publicly.
It feels really disturbing to say this, like Georgia residents are experimental subjects and not people, but the rest of the country is watching to see what happens (as they're watching Wisconsin to see if voting makes the caseloads spike). The models are right and opening was a good idea? Excellent, we'll do it too. Another virus surge and people die? Well, at least it wasn't *our* state.
I think the Trump/Kemp public dust-up is simply the president's way of reminding the governor that he is still po'd that Kemp appointed Loeffler to the open senate seat, rather than Trump's public pick, Doug Collins. Nothing more, nothing less.
I generally support opening up the country ASAP. But I think Trump's issues with Kemp are legitimate as in these comments from the April 22 task force briefing: "I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, that I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities which are in violation of the phase one guidelines ... I want him to do what he thinks is right, but I disagree with him on what he’s doing. ... But I think spas and beauty salons and tattoo parlors and barbershops in phase one — we’re going to have phase two very soon — is just too soon. I think it’s too soon. ... But they can wait a little bit longer. Just a little bit. Not — not much. Because safety has to predominate." What Kemp did is go his own way and Trump by necessity can't support the advice of his own experts. Trump was not criticizing Kemp's desire to open up Georgia. But he has made it clear that if Kemp goes beyond the task force recommendations, he can't count on Trump's support. But if something goes wrong, the media will blame Trump anyway.
I have been working from home for over 18 years, but for some reason the quarantine has been difficult. I live on the south side of Atlanta, but work for a company on the North side. I generally go into the office 1 day a week, but have not been able to do that in over a month. I work with Hospitals on the financial side, but cannot make site visits. I too am an introvert, but miss the face-to-face with friends, clients and co-workers.
