The fact that he said this with the CDC in ATLANTA should spark a citizens coup of the Governor's office.

Seriously, they should storm the State Capitol, run him out and takeover. LOL

I would put the odds of him resigning by the end of the year at more than 0%. Not much more than that, but it's non-zero at this point. Public opinion is turning on him pretty hard. He sat on his hands as long as he could, justified it with "well look at all these counties (that make up 20% of the state's population) where there aren't any confirmed cases", and now that the rapid geographic spread in the subsequent week totally fricked that narrative up and threatened his support among his rural voter base he panicked and gave that ridiculous explanation about just learning about asymptomatic shedding on fricking Tuesday.
