Kemps failed response has already made this crisis much worse and far harder on Georgians. Kemp took weeks to call for a shutdown, behind at least 37 other governors, and after local elected officials, health care experts, and Georgians begged him to take action.

Georgia has lagged behind every other state when it comes to the number of people whove gotten tests - without widespread testing, we are risking Georgians lives. Georgia is in the bottom ten states in the number of tests for population size. Kemp is failing.
Health care providers have begged Kemp and the state for adequate personal protective equipment and resources we cant safely get people back to work without making sure Georgians, especially our health providers, can stay safe. Not the time to open up the state.
Kemp claimed that he didnt know about asymptomatic transmission of the virus in April, even though national health officials have been warning of asymptomatic transmission for months.

Health experts warn the state may be deeply undercounting the number of COVID-19 cases in Georgia. Tests in Georgia have not been available to all Georgians with symptoms. State not collecting race data, even though African Americans are at high risk. Kemp is failing.
Across the state, Georgia first responders are at great risk of becoming ill because the state doesnt have enough personal protective equipment to protect them from the virus. Rural hospitals are particularly vulnerable.
