The CDC is recommending that all people in “high transmission areas” for COVID return to wearing masks indoors, regardless of their vaccine status. These new recommendations come from the rise in cases of Covid because of the highly contagious Delta variant. More details at the Washington Post.
They are also recommending that all K-12 students, teachers, and staff wear masks when school begins in August. It will be interesting to see how the teachers’ unions respond to these new guidelines. Will they demand a return to online teaching? Or more pay for their ‘suffering’?
Will Governor Northam issue a new executive order to make us wear masks indoors and force all school students and teachers to wear them all day? Will he once again close many businesses? Will businesses be forced to “demand your papers”, proof of vaccinations, before they can serve you? How far will Northam and the Democrats go in imposing new restrictions on our liberties?

“Will they demand a return to online teaching? Or more pay for their ‘suffering’?” Screw you………you have no clue how hard the last year has been on teachers. Ignorant ingrate

“How far will Northam and the Democrats go in imposing new restrictions on our liberties?” It depends how far down McAuliffe is down in the polls.
I expect many policies to be implemented by Northam before the school year. These will be nothing but political distractions so the Democrats will introduce CRT and gender reassignment courses into The Va Public School System and reaching far down the ladder to start teaching this crap to 10 year olds.
There is nothing to stop the insanity. Legal action takes time. Getting rid of the democrats ruling government takes time.
The vaccine became available to all Virginians yet at that point Democrat Governor Ralph Northam decided to control the distribution in what he called “an equitable way”. Now here we are today with a Democrat President and still the same old Democrat Governor and these political clowns still either have no control of the situation or are controlling it very well for their political benefit.
Now I am sure that there will be the intellectuals without actions seeking to blame red counties, Trump, his supporters and white people in general. These intellectuals without action are so far removed from the capacity of basic leadership you will be able to see it in Terry McAuliffes fund raising emails.
Democrats plan of action for anything is to blame others rather than rise to the occasion and accept responsibility.
If you go back to the first days of vaccine distribution you will see that red counties outperformed blue cities. I will always distinctly remember VDH Cynthia Marrow upset with the lack of color at the Roanoke Civic Center voluntarily choosing not to come out for the vaccine, too bad she lacked the ability to praise those that came out and reiterated the availability of the vaccine for all Virginians.
Myself;
Democrat Governor Ralph Northam had me drive 35 miles away from my home to get the vaccine all while a mass vaccination center was located 3 miles from my home.
Remember this sorry, piss poor leadership come November and vote
Youngkin for Governor
The democrats will push anything to maintain their totalitarian control.
The Republicans and their president killed 600,000+ Americans.
Biden* is not our president. Nor yours. But good of you to acknowledge his party’s death toll
The death toll continues to rise only this time the Biden numbers are suppressed. Nobody really knows the numbers of covid deaths during the Trump presidency as they were all mixed in with other causes and inflated by the anti-Trump news.
so who is our president?
you gop folks are nuts
You make a useful idiot.
Every dem state delegate and senator will support any action by northam.
So will kaine, warner, beyer, connolly, scott and mcauliffe.
Fear is what they use to control the self righteous, pseudo-woke hypocrites.
Prepare for time-honored Civil Disobedience.
Not everyone is going to put up with that crap. Cases is horse dump. People are not dying. I’ll look at the vents and ICU but NOTHING indicates a pandemic to go back to masking. NOTHING except those in power want to remove all power from the people.
