[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude. Cases are going up. It was the right call and took some serious balls given the amount of whiny parents. His communication has been very clear. Want your kids back in school? Push the county to close the bars. Get the MAGA losers to wear masks. [/quote] I see very few 'maga losers' in Arlington- I rarely go anywhere inside, but when I do people are masked. The county has no authority to close bars- that has to come from the Governor. The Governor is not going to close bars b/c he doesn't think its necessary to reopen schools. He has allowed schools to reopen, and most of Virginia has. Those that haven't mostly have a plan to do so in the near term and are allowing sports. Arlington Dept of Health stated that we need to learn to live with the virus and take appropriate precautions. They are not pushing for further restrictions on businesses. Nor would further restrictions necessarily be effective. At the last press conference the Governor stated that most of our current spread is coming from small family gatherings, where people take their masks off and are in close proximity with one another for an extended period of time. The Governor puts restrictions on businesses to keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. Currently there are about 1050 people hospitalized with COVID state wide, and slightly more than 200 in the ICU statewide. Its been around that number for several months. It started to go over 1300 in late July/ early August driven by the eastern district, and the Governor restricted liquor license sales after 10 pm in the eastern district. He was able to trace the increase directly to that. The hospital numbers were more like 1600 in April/May. [/quote]
