Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam’s office said Friday that Phase One of reopening the state under federal guidelines could last as long as two years as the state battles the novel Wuhan coronavirus.
“I personally think Phase One will be a two year affair,” said State Health Commissioner Norman Oliver, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “There are a lot of people working on this, and I hope they prove me wrong, but I don’t see it happening in less than two years.”
Phase One under federal recommendations feature a limited reopening of some businesses with strict safety restrictions, social distancing requirements remaining in place, continued teleworking encouraged and face masks suggested in public. Nowhere do the guidelines mention reopening schools that will already remain closed for the rest of the academic year.
The Virginia health department tried to clarify Oliver’s comments on Saturday, saying the health commissioner misspoke when speculating that Phase One of recovery would last 24 months.
“Dr. Oliver intended to say that the Commonwealth will likely be dealing with COVID-19 in some form until a vaccine is produced, not that Phase One itself would take two years,” a department spokesperson told Newsradio WRVA.

Democrat Governors view the lockdown as their last chance to bring down Trump....meanwhile, GOP Governors have their fingers to the wind and their Depends diapers securely fastened, as they wishy washily try to preserve their own personal political fortunes
You’ll see signs as Virginians sell their home and move to a state where leaders are sane.
The “blue counties,” surrounding Washington, DC, are the ones who voted for Northam...they are simply overflow from the swamp.
“exploited into an opportunity by leftists and globalists and population control freaks to fundamentally alter this country.”
You are so right on your observation. Manufactured crisis, with Chinese help,(paid for by Fauci), never to let this go to waste. It was not evident, at first, that the coup had spread to the NIH, CDC, DHS, etc. But it is becoming clearer that the fix was in from the start.
Timed to follow the Impeachment folly.
they will be starting impeachment #2 soon
It is surprising that they haven’t already.
they’ve started the groundwork
If this is one of Dr. Mengele Northam’s colleagues, our kids are safer at home.
"Virginia, the land of the oldest, dumbest 3rd graders you ever saw...join us!"
PS - vote Dem!
