US death toll tops 50,000 as some Georgia businesses reopen COVID19
Gyms, hair salons and tattoo parlors had a green light to reopen Friday in the state of Georgia as the United States surpassed the grim milestone of 50,000 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic.
The mixed messaging was the latest from a president whose remarks from the White House podium have frequently raised eyebrows, including most recently a suggestion that disinfectant could be injected to treat patients with COVID-19. He said he was "happy" about being allowed to reopen his store in an Atlanta strip mall, where most establishments remained closed."If I don't cut hair I don't make money," Edwards said. "We're being safe, we're being clean, it's all you can do."Other shops followed more rigid rules.
Eden Lio, a restaurant hostess and bookbinder who lost both her jobs in the crisis, was nonetheless participating in the rolling protest.
