‘You’re playing with fire,’ Murphy says to N.J. salons, gyms vowing to reopen in defiance of coronavirus rules
NJ ^ | 5/28/20 | Matt Arco

Gov. Phil Murphy warned Thursday that it’s still too early for indoor businesses like gyms and salons to reopen as the coronavirus outbreak continues to slow in New Jersey.

Murphy was asked to respond to social media groups attempting to organize businesses for a coordinated defiance of the coronavirus closures on Monday, June 1.

“I would just say to folks: You’re playing with fire,” he said at his daily coronavirus briefing in Trenton.

“It has to be done the right way and at the right time,” Murphy added. “And I think we’re going to, if you bear with us over the next few days, we’ll give some more guidance on that."

The governor said to expect guidance on youth sports, outdoor dining, and small businesses in the next several days. But most of his focus to date has been on reopening outdoor activities like beaches, boardwalks, parks, ranges and fishing. Nonessential retail businesses have been allowed to reopen only for curbside pickup.

“We’ve got to be exceedingly careful on indoor, sedentary, lacking-ventilation, close-proximity realities,” Murphy said.

The lockdown orders have already been met with defiance by businesses and churches. Some have been issued summonses.

Phil is making a guess. Sounds like a bad one.

Unfortunately, many of the governors engaging in this nonsense will not be up for reelection.

Perhaps Nancy should start pushing for "recall by mail-in"?! /s

The DNC is all in for mail-in ballots. That should be on the agenda for the DNC! :)

Call their bluff and raise! Let's push for online voting for a recall petition. People submitting a vote for recall should be trusted to supply their own name and address. Who cares about voter rolls.

One of Governor Murphy‘s first acts was to sign legislation that made instant felons out of tens of thousands of New Jersey gun owners. Murphy told Tucker Carlson that he didn’t even consider the Bill of Rights and the Constitution when making his “Executive Orders.” This is not someone who cares about our rights, our liberty, or our lives.

We opened in Tennessee a month ago. No spike. I think we’re doing just fine. This is just another attempt to scare the businesses into compliance It’s long past time for som good old fashioned civil disobedience.

Like the chains of oppression and over the top government intrusion in your life, keep voting for DemocRATS.

Freedom Loving Americans must vote out all RATS no matter what office, OUT in November.

I’m mad as Hell, and I am not going to take it anymore!
