The Town of Cape Charles wishes to convey the utmost concern for all of its residents, visitors, and business owners as we navigate the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

It is imperative that all unnecessary travel be curtailed and that everyone adhere to the restrictions and stay at home order issued by Governor Northam in Executive Orders 53 and 55.
In keeping with these mandates, the Town of Cape Charles is hereby requesting all visitors to stay home and to reschedule their travel to Cape Charles after this crisis has abated. All short-term rentals and other forms of lodging located within Cape Charles are requested to immediately cease taking reservations until such time state and federal guidance indicates it is safe to do so.

LIST OF WHAT ELSE IS CLOSED PER ORDERS OF HIS EXCELLENCE KING ANDY CUOMO OF THE EMPIRE OF NEW YORK, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE NEW YORK STATE ARMY AND AIR FORCE, COMMANDANT OF THE NEW YORK STATE MARINE CORPS, FLAG ADMIRAL OF THE NEW YORK STATE NAVY AND COAST GUARD, AND HEAD OF THE FEDERAL CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL UNTIL THE WAR WITH COVID IS FINALLY DECLARED A TOTAL VICTORY, to wit:
* Acupuncture for pain management
* Therapeutic massage for pain management
* Senior citizen wellness checks
* Diagnostic tests for early detection of cancer
List to be updated as more non-essential activities not related to COVID treatment are eliminated.
If you might have cancer because you are experiencing symptoms related to cancer, tough luck, dudes – suck it up, people die of cancer every day, so there is no sympathy factor for a politician to play on there.
If you just had surgery for colon cancer and had some of your bowel removed, and you are using acupuncture for pain management, who really cares!
If you are an old disabled veteran who was wounded in the back of the head by an RPG-7 in Viet Nam and have been relying on acupuncture for pain management, we don’t need disabled veterans like you in this country because you don’t contribute.
If you are a senior citizen relying on a group t’ai chi class for your social interaction and well-being, we really don’t need you, either – we already have too many old people taking up space that would be better allocated to felons and illegal aliens who comprise the Democratic Socialist party base, so go home and die, and good riddance to you!
IT’S ABOUT COVID, STUPID!
Everybody else, get to the back of the bus!
What is it that Andy Cuomo is saying that people don’t get?
Don’t you all know that this no longer is life as usual?
None of this is life as usual.
King Andy Cuomo, Commander-in-Chief of the United States effort to whip the invisible enemy COVID, said so, and that is that!
SHUT UP, DON’T ASK QUESTIONS, GET DOWN IN YOUR BASEMENT AND STAY THERE, AND BY GOD, DO NOT THINK OF TALKING BACK!

Now that some of the readers of the Mirror have received their wish that the town ban all visitors it’s time to really support the local businesses and their employees. I noticed this week that very few people are buying take-out and even Watson’s ( or is it April fools day joke) is closed today. Please support them! It’s time for the town and county to furlough all non-essential workers – let them use their PTO so they can then apply for unemployment pay as so many other counties and companies are doing. The school board needs to pay the teachers thru the end of this school year and then re-access this summer to see if they can re-open next fall. Since there is no broadband available to most of the county the teachers can instruct their parents on how to home school while they are still employed this spring. The owners of rental property and B & B’s can use the method that the Trump and Kushner families have known for years on not paying taxes by using more rapid acceleration of depreciation on their holdings against there rental income that is included in the 2 trillion bailout (along with unemployment compensation in the bailout). Yes the 1% ‘ers got their tax break also since they don’t qualify for a measly $1200 check.
The town and county can lower the tax burden by reducing the tax rates drastically since the new property assessments are back to the 2007 pre-banking crisis days. Once a vaccine is available in 12-18 months per Federal estimates things will slowly re-open to business as usual and small business can once again thrive in Cape Charles
Paul Plante says
Might you be dreaming about a vaccine?
National Institute of Health
“T cell-mediated immune response to respiratory coronaviruses”
Rudragouda Channappanavar, Jincun Zhao, and Stanley Perlman
A decade after the 2002–2003 SARS epidemic, we do not have any approved preventive or therapeutic agents available in case of re-emergence of SARS-CoV or other related viruses.

And according to the same federal government on the noon news, the peak of this particular strain of Corona virus (there are many and being a predator of humans, it is constantly evolving if one bothers to consult the technical literature as opposed to White House press releases) will be in a couple of weeks.
Joseph Francis Corcoran says
Please provide a credible reference for the two week peak .
Paul Plante says
Here is how it is with respect to when the COVID CRISIS might be over,
Trump wants it to end in a few weeks for political reasons related to the fact that there is a presidential election in November.
Andy Cuomo, the self-proclaimed dictator of New York who has just activated the National Guard in New York to come to upstate hospitals to seize medical supplies that Cuomo wants for his political base in New York City, which kind of reminds us of Lexington and Concord back when, needs the COVID CRISIS to last another couple of months or so, out into July or August, to enhance his chances of beating Trump as the champion of the war on the invisible enemy COVID (shudder, shudder, be very afraid).
So who are you for – Trump?
Or Cuomo?
If you are for Trump, it will be a couple of weeks.
If you are for Cuomo, it will be months yet.
Paul Plante says
Credible?
In America?
You got to be kidding me.
What the hell is a credible source in America today for anything, outside of the Cape Charles Mirror?
We haven’t had credibility in this country from “government” or the main-stream media in quite some time.
But here you go, and you be the judge as to what is credible and what is not:
“Trump: COVID-19 deaths to peak in two weeks, distancing will continue until April 30th” published 3 days ago by Associated Press.
MedPage Today: “White House: COVID-19 Deaths in U.S. to Peak in 2 Weeks — After that, ‘we will start to see some light at the end of the tunnel,’ Trump says” by Joyce Frieden, News Editor, MedPage Today
April 1, 2020.
The Dallas Morning News: “U.S. cases of COVID-19 will peak in a couple of weeks. Only social distancing will break the virus” by Steven Gjerstad on Apr 1, 2020.
And Admiral Andy Cuomo, the PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISAR of New York state is saying three weeks.
So take your choice, and if you think none of them are credible, you’ll get no argument from me.
Paul Plante says
Although U.S. advisors were fighting with South Vietnamese units and U.S. pilots were flying combat missions in South Vietnam, Kennedy denied that Americans were involved in combat, and Vietnam attracted little public or congressional attention.
Vietnam was far from front-page news and Americans still believed that their government told them the truth.
– p.37, Dereliction of Duty – Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, The Joint Chiefs of Staff, AND THE LIES THAT LED TO VIET NAM by H.R. McMaster
Is there anyone in America today stupid enough to think anything has changed since then?
Stuart Bell says
Travel data of passengers arriving in the United States from China during the critical period in December, January and February, when the disease took hold in that country, shows a stunning 759,493 people entered the U.S.
Why did we allow planes to bring this to our shore? The Airline companies are really the ones responsible for this mess, and we the people bailed them out…..they should be sued by families loosing their loved ones.
Paul Plante says
Because for all our claims otherwise, we truly have become a third-world ****hole nation like Haiti or Somalia.
EVERYBODY ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH!
Hey, I know, let’s party!
And now everybody is wondering why they have floppy ears and a donkey’s tail and they go HEE-HAW HEE-HAW when they open their mouths to speak.
How long did it take for government in America to virtually cease to exist?
Overnight, was it not?
And now, not surprisingly, we are having these petty tyrants rising up like so many warlords with their police-state decrees to stay inside, OR ELSE!
I’m over 70 and I am UNDER ORDERS from IMPERATOR Andy Cuomo to STAY INSIDE, or else.
And maybe I am hard-headed or something, but when somebody tells me to do something, or else, I always want to see what the “or else” part is all about, so I was outside today, replanting my rhubard, which I considered ESSENTIAL EMPLOYMENT, given it is spring and that is the time to re-plant rhubard, just when the new buds break ground.
This is like a scene from out of Animal Farm where once the pigs realize they can order all the other animals around, they keep on coming up with more and more orders.
And now that the dude over there in the Philippines has broken the political ice, so to speak, by issuing “shoot-to-kill” orders for people not doing the social distancing thing the right way, we’re wondering whether our strongman dictator will adopt the same po9liucy to keep himself on an equal footing with his fellow dictator in the Philippines.
Somehow, this police-state that has imposed prison-like conditions on us all reminds me of the Russian plague in 1770-1772, where in plague-ravaged Moscow, the terror of quarantined citizens erupted into violence, and riots spread through the city and culminated in the murder of Archbishop Ambrosius, who was encouraging crowds not to gather for worship.

People screech at both Wayne Creed and our dear friend and fellow American patriot Chas Cornweller for trying to warn us that overnight, as was the case with Chas Cornweller’s thread on “Beware 1984 is upon us,” while we were all sleeping, and distracted by COVID HYSTERIA whipped up by the main-stream media, we have literally been turned into a third-world socialist dictatorship withpout a shot being fired, or even a hint of resistance, no thousand people on the street, where the “leader” is now the only one who gets to say what the constitution might or not mean, as well as having the unilateral and untrammeled power to do away with the constitution when the “leader” feels the constitution has become a hindrance, as is the case right now in Democrat-controlled New York State where Andy Cuomo has become a virtual Saddam Hussein or Basher Assad or Idi Amin, or Joe Stalin, or “Pa Pa Doc” Duvalier, and when people are screeching at Wayne Creed for being some kind of societal troublemaker, of course, they are being emotional, not rational, and it is therefore impossible to really get that point across, unless it is something that the main-stream media is saying, given the Podunk nature of the Cape Charles Mirror compared to say, the New York Times, looming over the Cape Charles Mirror in esteem like a battleship looming over a dinghy, or the Hearst publication, the Albany, New York Times Union, where the opinions of literally millions of people all across America and the world are shaped, contrary to the handful reached by the Mirror, and finally, after a diligent search for what I knew had to be there, but could not independently prove, I came up with the proof that when he warned us about 1984 being upon us, our dear friend and fellow American patriot Chas Cornweller was not talking through his hat, nor was Wayne Creed being some kind of troublemaker by printing the dire warning of Chas that while we were all sleeping and distracted, our constitutional rights were being stripped from us, and as an old Indian told me once, the world was going to turn upside down, and for us here to the north of you, thanks to the Democrats, it has, as we can clearly see from this POLITICO article entitled “Here’s every law and regulation Cuomo had suspended during coronavirus crisis” by Bill Mahoney on 03/19/2020, where we learn that to reward their political base, the Democrats have turned New York into a PEDOPHILE PERVERT’S PARADISE, to wit:
ALBANY — When Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency in response to the coronavirus crisis on March 7, he gained extraordinary powers over the everyday lives of the state’s 19.5 million residents.
Thanks in part to a statutory change which the Legislature approved at the beginning of March, Cuomo’s declaration means he can change or suspend laws unilaterally, so long as doing so assists the state in its disaster response.
Some of Cuomo’s subsequent actions, such as the forced closings of restaurants and schools, have since made international headlines.
But the bulk of his executive orders, which have been issued at dizzying speed and some of which amend dozens of laws, have received far less notice.
POLITICO has sorted through all of the laws and regulations that Cuomo has suspended and translated them into plain English.
Here’s a look at what he had done as of early Thursday evening.
EDUCATION AND CHILD CARE
— A law mandating that child care providers undergo criminal background checks has been suspended.
end quotes
That law was expressly intended to keep sexual predators away from OUR GRANDCHILDREN, and here, to reward those who support the Democrat cause, the Democrats have scrapped that law, once again exposing children in New York to these sexual predators.
The Democrats in New York state, to reward their political base, is bringing back the “special rooms,” and the kiddie porn industry, because as Andy Cuomo said just last night, it is about LOVE, and hey, let’s face it, people, who loves our grandchildren better than a sexual predator who votes Democrat and makes sure to pony up when he call for “funds” goes out because everybody knows how expensive it is to run for public office as a Democrat.
And there is absolutely NOTHING we can do about this, because Andy Cuomo owns the judges, and he has closed the courts, so there is no right of appeal.
With our Constitution suspended by the Democrats, we no longer have law or order in the state, which makes it a sexual predator’s delight!
Oh, Chas, if only we had heeded your warning, but alas, for us, it is now too late, and it is our grand children who shall suffer for it!
