Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp on Monday defended his order to re-open the state's beaches after a weekend of criticism, arguing beach-goers still must comply with social distancing
"As the Pentagon ordered 100,000 body bags to store the corpses of Americans killed by the Coronavirus, Governor Brian Kemp dictated that Georgia beaches must reopen, and declared any decision makers who refused to follow these orders would face prison and/or fines," Sessions wrote in her weekend letter, referring to a request from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to the Defense Department last week for body bags.
