Virginia’s governor hinted Friday that masks soon may be required to be worn when going out in public. “Be ready on Tuesday to go out and about in your business when it’s essential with facial protection,” Gov. Ralph Northam said at a news conference in Richmond. “Make plans for you and your other family members to have facial protection.” Northam — the only doctor among the country’s governors — has so far not made wearing a mask mandatory during the coronavirus pandemic, although his guidance on reopening most of the state under Phase 1 included mandatory face masks for employees

Be creative, normal Virginians. Wear masks that mock Northram.

There is simple solution to that. Get yourself a miniature State of Virginia flag to make your mask. The motto of Virginia is on it: Sic Semper Tyrannis - thus always to Tyrants!

No science backs up that masks prevent transmission of covid. All these Dem governors are just pulling these policies out of their @sses. Nothing they do makes sense.

So glad I left Virginia 2 years ago. As to being forced to wear a mask - as the pro-abortionists like to say, “My body, my choice!”
I refuse to wear one and have quit going to Costco for as long as they require one to go inside.

Enough with the mask requirements already! I refuse to wear a stupid mask unless absolutely required to be able to enter the grocery store. Masks are useless and can cause health problems for otherwise healthy people. I see people out on a beautiful sunny day wearing masks and breathing their own germs and CO2 instead of the fresh air. It's so dumb I can't believe it.

Already Chincoteague has cancelled the Blueberry Festival AND the Pony Penning and Fireman's Carnival. On Monday the gov. will let our county know if we are to be in phase 1 or 2. The two chicken plants had close to 500 positive tests for the virus.

So with even the CDC coming out and admitting masks are pretty much worthless, Dems are demanding masks
(Unless you have a hepafilter, mask usually only filter to 5 microns, and the Wuhan virus is 1.5 microns in diameter. Worthless)

This is INCREDIBLE when one considers that these "masks" do practically NO GOOD AT ALL. In fact, some scientists state that they do MORE HARM THAN GOOD, and that they are nothing more than a feel good remedy that is social rather than actual.

I was watching reruns of the Virginian, a group of masked men held up a stage coach could it have been the Northam's? Masks help bandits blend in when they're in DC and state capitols.

N95 masks are for people who are sick, to capture their mucus and aerosols if they just have to be around other people; or nurses and doctors who don't want to put people on the operating table at greater risk of infection when they're opened up. They are not good for healthy people who think they will keep them from catching the KungFlu in public. To be reasonably sure of that, you need at least a full face respirator, with P100 filters, and wash your hands properly when you get home. Wearing a bio-hazard suit is more certain. It's all a question of trade-offs. Declaring healthy people must wear masks is about control, virtue signalling and soothing the ignorant Chads and Karens in the populace.
For those of you who disagree, you might want to review what the inventor of the non-woven micro-fabric used in N95 masks has to say about their efficacy. His name is Peter Tsai, and he retired recently from the University of Tennessee.

The left is now seeing this as a sign of submission - and so am I. I don't wear a mask, and that isn't going to change.

This article is only partially correct.
Virginians will have a choice - - they can wear a mask - - or put on blackface.

Northam will hint, just as he did with abusive gun control, but will back down when he sees the reaction. Virginia has a lot of real people to offset the invading liberals.

I would rather ride Northam and the Democrats out of town on a rail than wear a mask.

Trust me, mask edicts don't work. My town has one, and wherever I go, I see people wearing masks around their necks, under their noses and on their chins. I just returned from standing in line at a carryout place in the hot sun, and lots of people were standing apart, but taking off their masks. I expect they'll disappear completely as the weather gets hotter.

Northam appears to be a stupid man with an authoritarian streak.
One of the worst 5 governors in the US.

Hey, Gov.. We will wear masks when you come back to Virginia. He has spent a third of his time in office in NC at his summer cottage at the beach. He should have stayed home and set an example. Did we still have to pay him when he was out of town. Yes, of course, and we also had to pay for his private jet to NC and his security. I can't wait to see the back of him. He is the worse Gov. Virginia has had in a loooooong time.

Repeat after me: “I have a preexisting condition that precludes the use of a mask. What is it, you ask? You don’t have the right to know under HIPPA. You won’t let me in then? Then I’d like me to speak to your manager about the Americans with Disabilities Act.” Use their BS against them!
It has yet to fail to work here in the Land of Entrapment under Little Governor Stompy Foot Grusome. BTW, my condition? Conservititus Horriblis.

I got my hair cut today; first time in 3 months. Sign on the door said mask required for entry. So I slipped it on. First time in this entire crisis. The stylist and I had a pleasant conversation. In 15 minutes I was done. I will not voluntarily wear one at work, though. Or outside in public.

The weather is getting warmer. Viruses can't survive in warmer temperatures. They also can't travel as far. Nix the six feet BS. Plus, unless your coughing and sneezing, there is no reason to wear a mask outside. Fresh air and sunshine is a cure.

Virginians should by one of these. It qualifies and will really show where your opinion is.

As virus fades liberals dream up new edicts and requirements for anyone leaving the house. I assume Northam will don his pointy, white hood.
