Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam banned all gatherings that include more than 100 people to contend with the threat of the coronavirus.

“We are banning all events over one hundred people statewide,” the Democrat said. “For people on the peninsula, we strongly urge you to avoid public gatherings of any kind. What this really means is that if you are planning an event with several people, you should cancel it, period.

He doesn’t want to be outgunned.
Do any of you interpret this as an act of tyranny going well beyond public health needs? BTW, Northam is in fact an aspiring tyrant. No other governor in the country has issued such a restrictive order that I am aware of. Is civil disobedience warranted or are we all slaves now?
The black-faced-racist governor who wants to murder babies who are just born says what? I guess if there are 99 people gathered, you are safe??? What over-reactive, pandering-to-the-panicked idiocy.
If we treated car crashes like this the government would decree only 100 cars can be on a given stretch of freeway at a given time spaced 100 yards part.
Yes, of course, Blackface.....
And how many people are in his state legislature?
“Do any of you interpret this as an act of tyranny going well beyond public health needs?”
If the government can do it, they will.
Just to set a precedent if nothing else.
According to the Mayo Clinic, COVID 19 is a form of SARS.
“Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak in China.
“The virus is now known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).”

If COVID 19 is a SARS issue, then the same type of logic is in play as is discussed here.
“FORECASTING CASES & DURATION OF
SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME (SARS)
“Can simple mathematical models give an insight into the question of how many people will be infected by SARS and how well it is being controlled ?
“In late 2002, a severe form of pneumonia called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) broke out in Southern China. It was met by a government determined to deny its existence. Shortly after the Chinese New Year 1st February 2003, SARS spread across the world.
“By mid April, over 1200 people in Hong Kong had been infected, including many health workers, and its 6 million people were in a state of virtual panic.
“S-shaped Logistic equations have been shown to accurately model the February 2001 outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in the UK. What can they tell us about the 2003 SARS outbreak ? With hindsight, the outbreaks in Singapore and Canada were brought under control by early May, but logistic curve-fits made that apparent even from early April.
“The results show here that while in the initial stages of an outbreak, the disease seems to spread exponentially, this situation can not be maintained and the outbreak tapers off logistically. While there is a need to respond agressively against the disease, even in April 2003 there was no need to panic - the sky was not falling in.”
Key point here - act quickly and aggressively but don’t panic and don’t overkill.
So is the governor of Ohio.
Shut up Northam, you aren’t God. We ‘ll make our own decisions.
It’s Warranted. Screw this phony govt reach for power.
Let’s not be too quick to criticize the esteemed governor. Maybe putting on blackface or wearing a white hood protects you against viruses.
I believe the CDC is recommending that gatherings over 50 be discouraged.
Of course, neither suggested level will hurt Biden’s “rallies”.
So the son of a B is banning anyone from entering a truck stop?
Oh how well that will work. Because there are well over 100 truckers within a good sized truck stop at any given time of day. OVER a thousand visit them each and every day.
Shut them down! NOW!
This is UNREAL..
Almost all churches of any size will be barred from meeting. I don’t know what Northam’s religious affiliation is, but given his stances on abortion, LGBTQ+, and other issues, I would guess that it is not biblical Christianity. At some level is this a freedom of religion issue?
Our Demonazi Governor in NC (Cooper) banned all gatherings of 100 or more late yesterday which meant my church worship service was banned.
Does he recommend post partum abortions on any group over 100?
These a-holes keep pushing. The real local tyrants are making curfews and in one case banning the 2A. They love the power,control and crisis.
People only do to you what you let them get away with. This stupid rule, like the rest of his nonsense needs to be ignored. Does he actually think that people are going to cancel weddings of 100+ people? They should send the bill to him.
