Obvious you only read erroneous titles and not the link. I need to report this thread to a moderator for false information since the OP won't correct it. And now we see how false information proliferates. Low information population who WON'T READ.

I hope the morons in VA who elected Northam enjoy watching their jobs and lives crumble after a few more months of unnecessary lockdowns. I do feel sorry for the outnumbered sane people who live in Virginia.

I never commented on the article, just Northam and his far left insanity. Low information types voted for him. Keep voting for anti American Progressives and get destructive, over controlling big government.

I have no issues with our elected Governor or how he has handled this situation but if he annoys you that's just an added bonus...

He doesn't annoy me and he's not my Governor, but I just think he's a hypocritical, idiot far leftist which speaks a lot for those whom like him and voted for him.

But I know TRUMP REALLY ANNOYS YOU.

There was STILL an uproar, and the The Governor had to backtrack entirely, pulling back his Health Commissioner’s statement.

This is a perfect example of a trial balloon, and that the Democrats will push their control as far as they can get away with. They backed down when they saw their people would not accept it.

That still doesn’t answer how The Governor can play with the statistics to keep us in Phase 1. All he has to do is show that during any day during the 14-day timeline that cases go up. Well of course they’re going to go up. They’re testing more people!
What should happen, and what will happen, is that people will just resume life and disregard these silly edicts from Coonface. I run my daily errands where I need and want to, no gloves or mask, with my daughter in tow. Once enough do so, this nonsense will simply collapse.

I really like your I'm Rubber your Glue response...

No he's not your Governor and your off on a tangent that has nothing to do with the false topic of this post. Your just annoyed that we have had a clear, level headed approach to handling this illness and we are better for it.

Trump is a moron as he continually proves but November will determine who's next, either way we have the Clown Car known as Congress....

The CV19 isn't "nothing" but it has been overblown.
Right. It's "overblown" until you actually get it.

It's definitely about the virus. We are just beginning with a disease that little is known about.

For example, we had two consecutive days of lower cases, and then a day of increases. So the 14-day clock starts over. We can get to day 13, and then in day 14.....we test lots more people. That means we found more cases. And the clock starts over. We could be stuck in this for months, before we even get to Phase 1.

The governor is going to milk this for everything it’s worth.
Correct. You can have an increase in the number of cases due to increased testing, but still have a reduction in the percentage of the total. If you look at the state blueprint, it reads: Percentage of positive tests over 14 days moving downward

Did you read the governor's blueprint at all?
