This is what the press release says:

"The governor says they’ve set aside about $10 million to deal with the virus fallout and have more money set aside in the upcoming budget that is set to be approved by the General Assembly Thursday. The state announced it has a stockpile of protective gear like face masks, gloves, and gowns but also ordered $2.7 million more."

And this why the people who are saying "I am getting the BEST news from DCUM" are crazy. Thank you for correcting hysteric PP.

New Fairfax County case - office building near the Tysons Westin (near 495 and Leesburg Pike). I was going to go to Trader Joe's tonight, but I'm going to avoid local stores like the plague (ha!).

You guys, it’s everywhere already. These are just the people who made it over through the hurdles to get tested.

I feel like someone posted about this as a possibility a day or two ago

how many cases do we have in VA now?

How are people continuing to not understand that 50-75% of the population will get this. It is everywhere already. Look at our numbers v. Italy's numbers and that's w/ ridiculously little testing. Many of the new cases are community transmission w/ no explanation... that means it's in the community.

Yes, they posted when the person was going in to be tested. Now it is confirmed.
