It may take two to three weeks to know whether Gov. Ralph Northam’s pandemic restrictions imposed before the holiday are working to stem Virginia’s rise in cases. But things aren’t looking good. At a news conference Wednesday, Northam said local health departments already are getting troubling signs: For instance, reports that whole families in Mount Rogers Health District, which includes Bristol, Galax and neighboring Southwest Virginia counties, are quarantining after exposure at Thanksgiving gatherings, he said. The governor, usually delicate with words, used a somewhat firmer tone to deliver his message. “Virginia, you know the truth,” he said. “If you

Coonman is itching to drop the hammer again. And a ton of his fans don’t care because they’re federal employees who will not lose income.

What does a democrat, especially a democrat governor, know about truth?
John 8:40-47
“Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him… He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.”

Even at the second biggest gathering holidays, we're looking at a contagion rate under 2% (.019) in the U.S. . Gotta go now! - it's time to hide under the bed for the rest of the weekend.

Activists are probably spraying surfaces with covid as we speak, in hopes of a spike.

I heard something a few days ago and hope I explain it properly. A “case” used to mean a person was ill and showing symptoms. Now a “case” means one has only tested positive. In the history of “cases” COVID is the first where every positive test is considered a “case”. Is there a medical professional in the house to confirm?

The scare tactics are in overdrive right now.
So how many of those "record numbers" of people testing positive are even getting sick -- much less sick enough to require hospitalization?!?!?
I am truly beginning to believe we should have let this virus run it's course back in March. By "flattening the curve" we have extending this out indefinitely -- giving the Demon-Rat dictator-wanna-be governors and mayors the chance to continue to eat away at our rights!!!

I watch a really good TV series called The Good Doctor. The lead character is autistic, but a brilliant diagnostician and surgeon. And the series goes to great lengths to provide accurate medical information, unlike many other medicine related series.
In a recent episode, the autistic doctor, Shaun, is fretting about his live-in girlfriend's health and Kung Flu exposure.
His fellow physician reminds Shaun that the girlfriend, Lea, has tested negative for the Kung Flu twice.
Sean's answer? "That doesn't mean anything - the test is highly inaccurate."

I have read numerous articles lately, about the PCR test. One I read this morning, states that Florida is implementing an accountability procedure for these tests. The bottom line is that if you must get tested, you can demand that the test is cycled at 20-25, or less. Anything higher than that is almost sure to give false positives. Most testing is done at over 30. I believe this is deliberate. I believe that Germany has also begun to look more closely at these tests.

The people are selfish because they don't follow the tyrant's foolish edicts. What a fool?
“Virginia, you know the truth,” he said. “If you don’t wear a mask, and you don’t social distance, and you think your right to ignore public health advice trumps your neighbor’s right to not get infected by you, these cases will just continue to go up. It’s just selfish.”

By Northam’s logic everything you do is selfish. If you buy a steak that’s one less in the store for other people to buy. If you drive your car that’s one more car in traffic for other drivers to contend with. If a child goes to school they impinge on the teacher-student ratio. It never ends. We live in societies. Some people choose to live in remote areas where contact with others is minimal and some prefer being in large cities and having a lively social life. Decisions have consequences. Sooner or later most if not all of us will be exposed to COVID. We’ll be exposed to strep and staph and the flu and some of us will die as a result. It’s the price we pay for being alive and those who live in active terror of disease or who want to control everyone else are the maladjusted, not the rest of us.
