Based on the recent news (i.e., lots of left-leaning states / localities are RIGHT NOW ending mask mandates), I suspect Virginia D leadership (perhaps on the advice of national D leadership) will find a way to end the mask mandate way before July, despite D-voter anxiety. The optics of mask mandates continuing in to summer when the rest of the world and country are RIGHT NOW ending the mandates is going to play terribly.  I think D politicians could play this as a win for science and kids, but they need their base to sing the same tune.    [/quote]

Masks are done all. That law is getting amended by the governor, then it takes a majority to enact it. It will be effective by end of February.

So many Senate Ds, including Howell from Arlington/Fairfax and 3 other D senators from Fairfax County (almost 1/2 the D VA caucus too), voted to end the forced masking of little children.[b] Obviously VA Senate Ds wanted to save themselves from the whacky NOVA school boards' religious like belief in forced child masking before they lose Ds the VA Senate too.[/b]

2 years from now, many people in NOVA are going to be saying they were against forced child masking the entire time, just as they are denying they were against school closures.[/quote]

Actually many of them voted yay yesterday.

But today it ended up being only Petersen, Morrissey (who was also behind the push for opening schools last winter), and Lewis as D's voting yay to actually pass the bill.

Lost in the mask debate is the fact that this bill also enshrines that public education means in-person school. Thank. God.[/quote]
