Look your kid or your grandparent in the eye and tell them these folks are the right people to make the decision about how to deal with managing the spread of disease during a pandemic. Ridiculous - this group would be better named as the send TN back to 1918 Philadelphia group.

Wonder if Lee's grand re-opening will be similar to Georgia's.

Georgia governor Brian Kemp said some businesses, including gyms, hair salons and bowling alleys, will be able to reopen as early as this week...

Gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmetologists, hair designers, nail care artists, estheticians, their respective schools and massage therapists can reopen Friday, April 24, Kemp said, provided workers wear masks and gloves, stay six feet away from each other and are screened for symptoms.

Bars, nightclubs, amusement parks and live performance venues will remain closed.

Will Lee's grand re-opening satisfy this person's complaint?

According to The Tennessean’s Natalie Allison, a top lament of an anti-lockdown protest organizer at the state Capitol is that he can’t get free refills for his iced tea under social distancing rules

Some people go the extra mile to help, whereas others bitch because they can't go to the gym.

More than 40 employees lived at their plant for 28 days to make material to protect health care workers

GOP TEXAS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SAYS WE NEED TO TAKE RISK TO GET BACK TO WORK: 'THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN LIVING'

How Coronavirus Infected Some, but Not All, in a Restaurant

How virus could spread in restaurants

Going against the advice of health experts and endangering our citizens is irresponsible and mindless. We have a stupid President that will not listen to any expert and has caused the suffering and death of thousands during his Presidency. Lee and other governors are misguided and we will pay the price for his stupidity. Lee is an idiot!

Trump criticizes Georgia Gov. Kemp for planning to reopen the state when it is not ready.

“They can wait a little bit longer. Safety has to predominate,” Trump said Wednesday. “Would I do that? No. I want to protect people’s lives. But I’m going to let him make his decision. But I told him I totally disagree.”

Kemp responds,

Earlier today, I discussed Georgia's plan to reopen shuttered businesses for limited operations with @POTUS. I appreciate his bold leadership and insight during these difficult times and the framework provided by the White House to safely move states forward.

And Kemp will proceed to open up Georgia so people can get hair cuts, manicures, tattoos, go bowling and out to eat. Let's hope they also do not get the coronavirus/covid-19.

Could it be that the President and some Governors want to reopen certain businesses is to avoid paying unemployment and providing more small business recovery funding?

Washington Post: ...plans to ease restrictions on economic activity and public assembly in Tennessee have been met by dread among emergency management officials, who are in “complete disbelief that we are reopening the state,” according to a person involved in the planning who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional retribution.
