who cares about campgrounds??

no mention of schools/daycares/camps/kids activities or neighborhood pools.

phase 1, no social gatherings of more than 10 people EXCEPT for churches and gyms. this doesn't seem to be based on science.

phase 1 will last a minimum of 2 weeks.

phase 2: soonest would begin in early june best case scenario
gatherings of 50 or more people (this is when activities can start back up IMO)

phase 3: early august at the soonest-most restrictions lifted, more cleaning.

The church thing is BS. What is god protecting them more than others? If limiting gathering size is needed to reduce the spread of the virus then those limits should pertain to everyone.

yeah, that's what he said. gyms would be open with more cleaning or something. how could a gym like gold's or lifetime keep people six feet apart? and have the staff to clean everything after each use? its silly. Or a big gym can be open but its kid camp is closed? that's not logical.

Sounds like pools could maybe open early June and cap at 50 ppl?

[Anonymous]

oh, they also talked about easing restrictions on farmers markets and looking into extending some of the rules about carryout drinks.

Right before my gym closed, they closed off every other machine.

And in classes, people should be 6 feet apart at all times. Even before this situation. Stay out of my space, guy/lady with space issues.

Very confused as to why anyone is considering any of these openings when the Trump Admin is predicting 3k deaths a day which will bring us back to where we were in mid-March very quickly.

Facts matter.

Va will open to Phase One on May 15 IF the data continues to show a downward percentage trend.

To the poster regarding day care- those could already be open if they want to be. The go ahead was given weeks ago. Open for essential workers and in VA that definition is broad.

Schools are not going to re-open so why bother mentioning it. It has nothing to do with Phase One.

It’s completely logical the kids area is closed. Inconvenient, but smart. No. You’re equipment won’t be cleaned enough and there won’t be adequate distancing unless they switch to workouts by appointment.

They predicted 2.2 million deaths in the beginning. People aren’t buying their BS models anymore.
