Daily Kos - A GA local, George Chidi, just wrote a local op-ed and a public facebook post that proffers an explanation for why [Governor] Kemp is reopening the state for such bizarre businesses as massage therapists, tattoo parlors, hair dressers and restaurants. His argument is pretty stark. The money quote is this:
If there's no state order calling for businesses to be closed, the people who are unemployed can no longer claim that their unemployment is involuntary, even if it would be utter idiocy for them to return to work. A hair dresser or a massage therapist cannot maintain social distance. But they can certainly file for relief ... unless the law says they can work.

The global food crisis
Dirt Diggers Digest A Washington Post investigation recently found [that] about 40 percent of nursing homes with publicly reported cases of coronavirus — the list of which is far from complete, given varying transparency practices among the states — had been previously cited by government inspectors for violating regulations meant to control the spread of infections. This made them all the more susceptible to coronavirus.
