I have a feeling a lot of non-NOVa Virginians are gonna be disappointed


by phase 1.

I mean, if you think you're going to be able to go to your favorite restaurant and hang out, then you are sadly mistaken. Given that you'll be waiting in line (since everyone else will have had the same idea) for very limited seating outdoors and everyone will necessarily need to be so far apart, then you're looking at very limited capacity. Same thing with going into stores. Going into a store after standing in line and everyone is wearing masks, gloves, standing six feet apart in line to check out is not going to be enough to make anyone feel like things are back to normal.

And the provisions about gyms "reopening" are laughable. "Hey, gyms aren't open but they can provide outdoor classes!" is something of a cruel joke, in my opinion.

Phase 1 is about the optics of appearing to open and less about the substance. If you're a business, I'm not sure there's anything here for which you can be grateful.
