Top Virginia health official warns state lockdown could be ‘two-year affair’

WaEx: Virginians hoping for a quick restart of normal life may be in for a rude awakening after the top health official in Virginia said the state could be in lockdown for the next two years.

During a Friday afternoon briefing on the coronavirus response, Virginia Health Commissioner Norman Oliver said Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam’s “Phase One” coronavirus response plan, which involves business closures and social distancing, could last for as long as two years.

“I, personally, think Phase One will be a two-year affair,” Oliver said. “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.”

A Virginia Department of Health representative immediately attempted to walk back Oliver’s comments, suggesting that Oliver meant the coronavirus will be with Virginians for two years and not that state-mandated lockdowns would continue that long. read more

  2. Yeah they tried to walk back that initial discussion. My boss lives in VA and actually supports this approach – wait for vaccination, stay home, huge libtard. Why not employed beltway folks living in VA are all getting paid.

  3. Not Likely. There will be no money to pay his Stasi to enforce it.

    People will resort to Barter trade and disobey.

    Last I checked

    1) you cannot fine someone with no money.

    2) You do not have 328 million jail cells

    3) the courts are already backlogged with gender bathroom casses & lawsuits.

  4. As a Virginian, I went about my business today, not seeking permission from anyone. Pssst I was not alone out there. I saw people picnicking. I saw people purchasing.

    Granted my journey through the red counties of Hanover, Caroline and Spotsylvania are less populated than Fairfax and Arlington and Richmond City.

    But we are totally ignoring Governor kkk blackface.

    He’s Barney fife.

    Now we are ready to kick the doors open of restaurants.

    Wife and I enjoyed our trip through real Virginia countryside. Shut radio Off when first sad piano funeral music that is used for advertising these days. Clue. Play Warner brothers cartoon song and uplift people and make them laugh.

    We’ve got no dead to bury here and it isn’t anno domini 1364. Black Death? Save it for shithole cities run by democrats. You know who you are.

    Rant over.

  5. If we have to open speakeasys and underground churches that’s what will happen.
    People are social by nature. Overbearing democrats can’t stop man’s natural quest to be free.

    They may shutter buildings. They will never shutter human spirit.

  6. I think 2 more weeks of this bs would be over the top. 2 years prolly too much even for the big govt-worshipping libtard nosepicking sheep of n va. Sane people in the rest of the state will have no part of it.
