Northam Reinstates Lockdown

November 15, 2020 by Wayne Creed 5 Comments

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Friday announced substantial new statewide restrictions on gatherings and certain businesses in an effort to slow rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.

Question: If masks actually work, why aren’t they, well, working?

The state’s cap on gatherings will be reduced from 250 people to 25, the state’s mask requirement will be applied to younger children, the number of spectators allowed at athletic events will be reduced, and alcohol sales will be prohibited at dining and drinking establishments after 10 p.m., the Democratic governor’s office said in a news release. Those and other new restrictions will take effect Sunday at midnight.

The Covid Lockdown is really just a bunch rich people staying at home, while poor people bring them stuff.

The following restrictions will go into effect on Sunday, November 15:

  • Indoor and outdoor gatherings are limited to 25 people, down from the current limit of 250
  • Virginia’s mask mandate will be expanded for indoor public spaces to Virginians ages five and over (the previous mandate set in May was for ages 10 and over)
  • All essential retail business (grocery stores, pharmacies) must adhere to face covering and social distancing guidelines and violations can now be enforced through the Virginia Department of Health as a class 1 misdemeanor
  • Alcohol sales will be cut off at 10 p.m. at restaurants, breweries, wineries, etc. and all establishments must close at midnight

Virginia still has over 3,100 hospital beds available for potential COVID-19 patients.

Northam also encouraged families to celebrate Thanksgiving outdoors this year.

    The purpose of the new restrictions being put in place in Virginia and elsewhere in the country have nothing to do with safety, etc. Often they make no sense at all. The intention is to increase our levels of fear and anxiety so that when the potentially toxic, rushed-into-production and largely untested vaccine rolls out, we won’t be so resistant to accepting it, as so many currently are.

    In the 1979 film “Mad Max: The Road Warrior” there’s a scene in which the leader of the barbarian group tells his top thug, Wez, to be patient in their assault upon the pocket of civilization holding onto a small oil refinery. He says, “Fear is our ally.” I wouldn’t be surprised if that same sentence is being spoken by those who are manipulating us in this plandemic.

    If I’m not going to be served a drink after 10:00 p.m., I will need to start drinking much earlier in the day.

      Go to the ABC store for your medicine, it is cheaper and lasts longer.

      Note: Well said, we are in total agreement.✌

        But, sadly, the Va ABC store is also closed before 10:00 pm. Just another example of our Governor watching over us.

    He couldn’t think his way out of the black mask he once wore in high school
