“This is a game changer, dude? Yeah. So is the wheel.”
Georgia’s Republican Governor Brian Kemp has been under fire for refusing to issue a stay at home order for his state’s 10.6 million people. On Wednesday, after his fellow GOP Governor to the south, Florida’s Ron DeSantis succumbed to nationwide public outrage, Kemp finally told his citizens to stay home.
But Kemp is now under fire for his false claim that “we didn’t know that until the last 24 hours,” that coronavirus can be spread by asymptomatic people.
During Kemp’s announcement he also falsely claims he’s been “following the science,” and calls it a “game changer.” He’s now being accused of a “stunning admission of deadly ignorance.”

Brian Kemp, who says he only just learned that asymptomatic people can transmit #Covid19. “[I]ndividuals could have been infecting people before they ever felt bad, but we didn’t know that until the last 24 hours.” pic.twitter.com/T7NZWk2GDR
Many across the nation are furious, and as some pointed out, the CDC is based in Atlanta.That is a lie. We’ve know about asymptomatic transmission for well over a month or more. And CDC and Emory SPH advisors are in his back yard. Don’t try to deny science was there all along. #COVID19 https://t.co/OWs2qj0eCZ— Eric Feigl-Ding (@DrEricDing) April 2, 2020

Is this one of those newfangled videos where they put words in people’s mouths? Because I can’t believe anyone would admit they didn’t know until the last 24 hours that asymptomatic people could pass on the Coronavirus. This is a game changer, dude? Yeah. So is the wheel. https://t.co/UFTn3akax2— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) April 2, 2020

A deadly admission. He must have been listening to 45, not scientists. Remember @staceyabrams could have been your governor instead of this ill-informed danger to you. https://t.co/Ab0OcHEduJ— Jill Wine-Banks (@JillWineBanks) April 2, 2020
Imagine a loved one dying because your governor was too lazy to read the news any time in the last month https://t.co/NF9XhZ4RPD— Matt O'Brien (@ObsoleteDogma) April 2, 2020

Everyone in Georgia should be outraged.— Quarantined William LeGate (@williamlegate) April 2, 2020
We've known this for over 3 months now… Brian Kemp is either lying to the public during a pandemic or is dangerously incompetent. https://t.co/fuv7FDyAdB

How did he not know? Did he have his earmuffs on? Did he refuse to read a newspaper or review ANY information about this virus before this week? Probably. #COVIDー19 https://t.co/ILK6MC8JrB— reedgalen (@reedgalen) April 2, 2020
Y’all could’ve had Stacey Abrams. But the lying, cheating, incompetent white guy was and is preferred by many. https://t.co/ryJNDRJbnR— Kenny BooYah! (@KwikWarren) April 2, 2020
