This memo summarizes highlights of the findings from the national survey you commissioned of 1,000 Registered Voters. RMG Research, Inc. provided the field services for the online survey which was conducted April 24-26, 2020.

As each week under lockdown passes, the dire statistics measuring the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic only increase in magnitude. These measurements, however, are not solely detailing the lives lost to the virus. FreedomWorks, in an effort to better understand our audience’s concerns and struggles throughout this pandemic, conducted its sixth survey on the COVID-19 crisis this past Friday.

As states begin to reopen across America, starting with Georgia and Texas, there are many rumors out there that it is unsafe to do so. Quite to the contrary. Equip yourself to push back with some myth vs. fact:

Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) has come under intense criticism for taking steps to re-open Georgia. The criticism is peculiar. Reading the reactions on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and elsewhere, one would think that Kemp is forcing businesses to re-open and making consumers begin visiting stores and restaurants. The reality is that it’s up to business owners whether they re-open, and it’s up to consumers whether they leave their homes. It’s a choice, which is the very basis of liberty.

Even if judging only by the sheer number of #ReopenAmerica rallies that were held in state capitals across the country last week, it is clear that Americans have been so devastated by government responses to coronavirus that such “cures” are shaping up to be worse than the very virus itself. Whether politicians like it or not, Americans want to reopen society in some way, even though there is still a threat from coronavirus. The question is not whether to reopen, but when and how to reopen to allow our nation to continue on, while living with coronavirus.
