Excerpt from the story. . . .
Even after Kemp relented, he was widely mocked for saying he had just learned that people infected with COVID-19 could transmit the disease even if they were not exhibiting symptoms. “These individuals could have been infecting people before they ever felt bad,” Kemp said during a news conference Wednesday, when he announced his intent to impose the shelter-at-home requirement. “We didn’t know that until the last 24 hours.”
And now he is suing Atlanta and Athens to stop their mask mandate. Mostly because 45 came to Atlanta and the mayor pointed out he was breaking the law by not wearing a mask.
