Tucker Meridian

We were shocked and saddened to learn of the death of one of Tucker’s finest, Bill Rosenfeld. He was by trade a master jeweler, owner of Rosenfeld Jewelry. But his love was service. He had been on the Tucker City Council since the beginning of cityhood, President of the Tucker CID, a Rotarian, and many other organizations dedicated to making lives better. Bill was one of the good ones, reasonable in his assessments, jovial in his attitudes; one of those fellows that puts you in a better humor by just being in his presence. Our sincerest condolences are extended to his wide circle of friends, family, and constituents. God bless his memory.

Lots of people took advantage of the beautiful weekend weather to come outside from behind their doors. I saw a lot of happy faces while walking in the park yesterday albeit 10 feet from my kids. The quarantine is weighing on our willpower to not enjoy our environs.
The decision by the Governor of Georgia to open certain businesses last Friday has been discussed throughout the nation. Curiously, spas, tattoo parlors and bowling alleys were Gov Kemps's first establishments to be selected to resume restricted operations.
While I encourage everyone to continue to follow the national and local guidelines set forth for the pandemic, one wonders would it be wiser to focus not on which businesses open first but focus on the general health of the patrons who first frequent the stores? Should we not first send our healthiest citizens out in the environment and into public places to test the air?
For example should not very healthy people say 57 and younger with an excellent health record and asymptomatic resume somewhat normal activities first? Two weeks or so go by with no spike in cases could open the door for a second wave of people who are older, 67 and younger, but who have excellent health history and are asymptomatic start resuming normal activities.
If a few weeks pass after the second wave of little contagion should give the least healthy among us no matter the age to go out fully protected as possible and should take all precautions to avoid airborne viri.
If the illness spikes at any stage we can shut down or scale back.
Beating the Pandemic is a process but its the population we need to concentrate on not the places they might visit.
