In a stunning admission of ignorance, Georgia governor Brian Kemp said that he only just learned that asymptomatic people can transmit the coronavirus
Georgia Republican governor Brian Kemp has been a little behind the curve.

Several experts interviewed by CNN said while it’s unclear exactly what percentage of the transmission in the outbreak is fueled by people who are obviously sick versus those who have no symptoms or very mild symptoms, it’s become clear that transmission by people who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic is responsible for more transmission than previously thought.
Kemp isn’t the only Georgia Republican showing his ignorance this week. State House Speaker David Ralston, who has been spearheading an effort to force a delay in Georgia’s May 19 presidential and down-ballot primary , did an interview on Tuesday in which he attacked voting by mail as an abomination favored by “extreme liberal Democrats” that could lead to high turnout. Ralston seems to be under the impression that up until now Georgia required an excuse for requesting an absentee ballot .
