During Friday’s briefing, Gov. Justice announced that, after consulting with State medical experts regarding vaccination rates, the Statewide Indoor Face Covering Requirement will be lifted on the State’s 158th birthday –also known as West Virginia Day – Sunday, June 20, 2021.
“We believe that all West Virginians 12 years of age and older will be eligible to take the vaccine soon, and by June 20th, we project that 65% of all eligible West Virginians will have the first dose at that point in time, 75% of our population that's 50 and above will have the first dose at that time, and 85% of our population that’s 65 and above will also have the first shot at that time,” Gov. Justice said. “So that's the date we're going to go with. It just coincides perfectly with the celebration of this absolutely incredible State on its birthday.”
“Naturally, it will still be your choice, when you’re in public, whether you want to have a mask on or not,” Gov. Justice continued. “But the mandate will be lifted.”
In the run up to that date, the State is beginning another push to get more West Virginians vaccinated.

Coronavirus PING!
Nobody wears a mask here unless you want to.
Nobody listens to Tommie the Commie.
You're supposed wear one n Walmart but half take it off as soon as you're in.
Nowhere else.
“Out of 1,474,615 eligible West Virginians, 796,765 (54.0%) have received at least one dose of vaccine, while 663,080 (45.0%) have been fully vaccinated.”
The campaigns and $100 incentives aren’t working.
Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 13, 2020
It’s already ended in much of Princeton.
Virtue signalling.
There’s no reason for the mandate at all as masks don’t help.
So wow, the governor is a hero for giving West Virginians their rights back that he took from them.
You can always tell when they’re simply asserting control. They defer the action to some later date: Easter, Mother’s Day, Fourth of July, Christmas...”West Virginia Day”
Ron DeSantis, on the other hand, dropped Florida’s mandates EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
Who’s the governor and who’s the tinhorn politician?

Well, at least he’s doing it. On the other hand, for all I know, my fat, corrupt governor (Hogan) could keep the indoor mandate in place* until sh*t sticks to the moon.
*To his credit, he recently abolished the outdoor mask mandate, which gives me some faith that he will eventually do the indoor one as well.
Call to arms - ah, isn’t that just so cute.
Yup, stringing people along is a passive/aggressive control technique.
It also keeps the person doing the controlling the center of attention.
So that's a double ego win for them.
