Georgia is the first country to fully "restart" the economy, causing controversy

　　(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Georgia, the United States, took the lead in comprehensively "restarting" the economy, causing controversy

　　China News Agency, Houston, April 24 (Reporter Zeng Jingning) As the first state to fully "restart" the economy in the United States, gyms, barber shops, nail salons and tattoo shops in Georgia began to resume work on April 24 local time.

　　The Associated Press reported that although US public health experts continue to warn that premature "restart" of the economy may lead to the intensification of the new crown epidemic, on the 24th, many shop owners in Georgia still decided to open the door in accordance with the governor's decision.

　　According to media reports, many shops welcomed customers on the same day. Some barber shops and nail salons have received a large number of appointments a few days ago; some gymnasiums have opened exercise equipment areas, and the exercise is still suspended.

　　Before entering the store, customers have to take a temperature test. The social distance must be maintained between the customers in the store. The store also provides disinfectants such as hand sanitizer. The CNN news screen showed that shop assistants wore masks, but many customers did not. Some customers lamented, missed this life, and wanted to meet friends.

　　On the same day, many shopkeepers insisted on suspending business. They said that they were unwilling to expose shop assistants and customers to the risk of virus infection.

　　According to the National Public Radio of the United States, Georgia Governor and Republican Brian Kemp announced the decision to "restart" the economy on the 20th. According to this decision, the state government will also allow commercial venues such as cinemas, restaurants, and bowling alleys to reopen to the public on April 27.

　　In fact, politicians hold different views on how quickly the US state of Georgia should resume production.

　　According to ABC reports, the mayor of Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, Kesha Bartom, has repeatedly criticized the governor's push to resume work. She warned that there may be a second wave of outbreaks in the state, and "some people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the economy, which is unacceptable to me."

　　The Wall Street Journal reported that Shirley Sessions, the mayor of Tybee Island, told residents, “Do n’t expect the government to tell you what to do, if you want to do hair, then go.”

　　It's worth noting that earlier this week, US President Trump praised the Governor of Georgia for "restarting" the economy, saying that Camp "as a governor, he did very well." On the 24th, Trump wrote on social media Twitter, "I (or the Vice President) have never expressed recognition for Governor Brian Kemp's work outside the guidelines. Spas, beauty salons, tattoos The shop and barber shop should be opened later, I have told the governor to do the right thing for the people of Georgia and the United States! "

　　According to a model from the University of Washington Institute for Health Indicators and Evaluation (IHME), the number of hospitalized patients with new crowns in Georgia will peak next week.

　　The statistics of the new crown epidemic situation released by Johns Hopkins University in the United States show that as of 19 o'clock on the 24th, the United States has a total of 890,524 diagnosed cases. There were 22,147 cases in Georgia and 892 deaths.

　　The New York Times stated that Georgia ’s opening was unwise. First, Georgia is one of the states with the lowest number of new crown tests in the United States. Less than 1% of Georgians have been tested, and in New York and Louisiana, this proportion is close to 4%; second, the number of new cases per day in the state is still increasing. Over the past two weeks, the state ’s health department has reported an increase in the number of new cases per day. The White House's guidelines are to recommend that the government lift commercial restrictions when the number of new cases in each state declines within 14 days.

　　According to Reuters, many US governors are eager to return the economy to normal. On the 24th, parks and retail stores in Oklahoma, Florida, and Tennessee also resumed operations, and South Carolina plans to release the "home order" restrictions next week. (Finish)
