The governor has been providing regularly scheduled briefings at 2 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to provide the latest updates.

On Monday, he provided new details on a Virginia-specific model from UVA, talked about statewide responses at long-term care centers, and said he would have a decision by Wednesday on how long to postpone the re-opening of non-essential businesses.

Last Friday, he announced plans to establish a nursing home task force, proposed the release of inmates with less than year left in their sentences, and emphasized a need for volunteers.

It’s about managing expectations.There is relative calm because we have been told to believe this will probably be over at the end of April. If they continue beyond that, many people will feel less constrained from lashing out.

Beginning in may, I think we’ll be seeing increased civil disobedience and just plain violence wherever the lockdown is still in full effect.

The next phase of these rat bastards is a state coalition to fight the president on reopening to keep the economy on the rocks. People need to revolt

I think he’s hoping for the economy to become trash then since the border to Washington is just a river, hoping that rioters spill across the bridge into DC to perform the coup for him.

“I understand that we may be 2-3 weeks behind NJ, NY and CT. But that doesn’t translate into June 10th.”

Ole Tin Plate Dictator “Choppers” Murhpy said the NJ should not expect to open to mid June or July.

I am not going to flip out at every perceived insult someone throws. When someone is doing something that threatens to hurt my family with my loss of unemployment, that concerns other people, and I sure will do something about that.

It’s easy for the virus to get inside your house because it could be sitting on your mail or food packaging. Not to mention it could easily have already been inside the country before being taken seriously due to the incubation period and high speed air travel.

I think you are right. I think violence, however, according to Morpheus, may be exactly what he is hoping for. He is a rat bastard commie POS.

The “new normal” should involve tar and feathers and a rail. This KKK-loving, black-faced nitwit and his fellow leftist losers should be run out of town.
