How is this even legal? Fines of up to $1000?

While most of metro Atlanta has been sheltering in place or enduring curfews due to the coronavirus pandemic, those in the North Georgia mountains have been enjoying the beginning of spring.

Across the nine northeast Georgia mountain counties, the Georgia Department of Public Health has found and confirmed only 10 cases of COVID-19. Five of those counties — Gilmer, Habersham, Rabun, Towns and Union — don’t have a single recorded case.

By comparison, Fulton County has more than 370.

However, more than half of those nine counties declared states of emergency this past week, with one making it illegal for Atlantans to visit.

As the Fannin County Sheriff’s Administration wrote on its Facebook page Thursday, people from Atlanta will “ABSOLUTELY NOT!!” be allowed in the county, even if they own property.

They can't. How can they possibly know where a person is from? I know Georgia has county tags but still this shite is not even Constitutional.

No, they should have blacklisted the Northerners that have invaded N. Georgia.

I’m not saying it’s legal, I’m just asking if you blame them.

Blame them for trying to overstep the Constitution? Yes.

Martial Law has not been declared.

That’s why I love living below the fall line with the gnats and skeeters and humidity. One can throw off on us all they want, but we don’t too much have to fool with transplants.
