RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Projection models suggest Virginia could see a surge in coronavirus cases between late April and late May, Gov. Ralph Northam said Wednesday.

“You need to know the truth. No sugarcoating,” Northam said as he delivered yet another sobering message about the pandemic, saying Virginians needed to be realistic in their expectations and prepare “for the long haul.”

The governor said he expected to release more information Friday about sites the state and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been evaluating for alternative hospital beds.

He also announced Virginia had received a third shipment of personal protective equipment from the federal Strategic National Stockpile, which has struggled to fill requests from states. The delivery included face shields, gowns and masks, “but we need more,” Northam said.

The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, increased Wednesday to at least 1,484, according to the latest figures available from the state Department of Health. Thirty-four deaths have been confirmed.

"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother," Northam said, alluding to the physician and mother discussing whether the born infant should live or die.

All lives really don't matter.

If Northam is saying this, it’s virtual proof the cases will peak in early April.

So does that mean Virginians will be on house arrest until the end of May?😠

[JungleGoat77]

No, Northam dictated June 10.

[KC_Lion]

Yep!

[Bayard]

Goal posts move to May, from April 13th, to 30th, now wait for it... June!

[dfwgator]

Just wear a white sheet, that should protect you.

[Libloather]

June 9 is the GOP convention, I’ve been told.

[KevinB]

Northam is really a special kind of idiot. As is Maryland’s RINO Hogan.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Dictator Northam is an idiot. New cases and Virginia will pick up a matter of days.

[RckyRaCoCo]

I wanna hear the election has been postponed, Trump stays President...and watch liberal heads explode.

Or put on some blackface, since dark-skinned people may be less susceptible to the virus.

Thank you for that quote.
The man is an imbecile.

[FreeReign]

Birx's and Fauci's models show that everything ends in the first week in June.

So cases peaking in late May doesn't match those models.

At first it was "flatten the curve". Now, it is "protect every life".

Two more months of shutdown will do irreparable damage to the economy, bringing on a depression driven by crushing debt.

Democrats don't care, so long as they remain in power.

[Cobra64]

Constitutionally, that can’t happen. Pelosi becomes Prez.

[NFHale]

Maybe Virginians will get lucky and Blackface Northam and a bunch of his democrat toadies will come down with the corona.

And choke on it.

There’s a happy thought, now...

[EdnaMode]

It will be magically cured on June 10!

[EdnaMode]

Yup, how convenient. They should move it up to April.

Does Coonman have enough shoe polish to last until June 10?
