there are a number of businesses slated to open tomorrow in georgia then include bowling alleys, gyms and fitness centers, different hair salons, nail salons, tattoo parlors, do you think this is necessary to do all of that once this early? >> it is the governor's decision, not my decision but i suspect the governor who i know well made that decision based on information available to him, based on advice he was getting from his consultant and felt it was time to move forward. the key here is not how rapidly or how slowly we get back into the economy but if we do indeed continue to follow the advice of the task force, washing her hands, practicing social distancing this will take a combination, a combination of technology and intuitiveness. we have to have robust testing,

make sure we are continuing that. we've also got to be smart about it, follow the advice of the task force, make sure we are practicing social distancing, make sure we are washing our hands, coughing into our arms, all those things remain things we have to do. >> some of those, you can't social distance. >> that is true and here's a tweet from the governor and his side of it, next measured step is driven by data and guided by state public health officials so he said he is being guided by health officials. i'm confident business owners who decide to reopen will prioritize the health and well-being of employees and customers. atlanta is a really big city. i don't have to tell you that, very congested, very busy, populated city. if this thing spikes the numbers back up do you think the governor is ready to pull back immediately? >> i suspect he will do the right thing but the key is

remember, georgia is a very diverse state. you say there two georgias, atlanta and everywhere else, atlanta is a different scenario than just a, georgia. what is good in just may not be good in atlanta. what i hope is initially as he did he followed the advice of local officials and let them make the decisions, i knew what was going on in my town more so than anybody in atlanta so that is why it is important the decisions made at the local level are the ones will be respected. >> people need to get back to work at this point because everybody in this country does, you need to be able to social distance, the guidelines that are still instilled throughout the country in different states. let's look at the minimum basic operations for businesses opening in georgia including

respiratory illnesses, enhancing workplace sanitation, wearing masks and gloves, separating workspaces by six feet, staggering shifts. what do you think of that list? >> i think that is great. if we follow those guidelines that will help us. obviously the physical health of our citizens is paramount but the economic health of our government is very important as well. the economy is important and we need to get back to the way we do it again, rapidly or slowly, if we do it smartly, then we will be okay, that is key. rob: we will watch what happens. jillian: a real shark? shocking accusations against one of the stars of the show shark tank allegedly trying to profit off of the pandemic. rob: not just your physical health you should be worried about. as we remain locked down for all

my guess is their first choice would be for the federal government to borrow money to send it down to now so they don't have to do that. that's not something i will be in favor of. >> that drew a furious response from new jersey governor phil murphy warning what will happen without assistance. >> come on, that is completely and utterly irresponsible. we will get the living daylights in every state in america out of the services, the exact services that our citizens need right now. >> wanting to watch will be how different the voting in the house will be. it will take longer, the staggered goods entering the capital to provide the appropriate social distancing, limiting members on the hill at any given time and lawmakers likely wearing masks. it will be a first. >> today more people are expected to protest stay-at-home orders across the country. in michigan a demonstration

mother nature came in. i'm maintaining my staff but the tasting room, i don't have anybody for curbside service or delivery and i'm capable of doing that. throughout the united states it is going to be labor, who can help them in the vineyard if they are not able to get funding or selling enough wine, they can't do events which is another part of generating revenue, tastings, that will impact them. the vineyard is in a major critical state, an improvement stage and you have to be out there doing it and it doesn't stop, taking care of the wine and production, topping off the wine, bottling and so forth, that doesn't end. people who have to shut the doors for that will be very financially impacted and i feel sorry for everybody that will be in that boat. >> you make point about events, i didn't think of that.
