Hey, Virginia is for Lovers . . . -- MikeVT85 05/14/2020 1:02PM
Well Virginia is for Lovers so social distancing is a challenge. ** -- OrlandoHokie 05/14/2020 10:18AM
I think that is a silly study - but there is a lot of good news out there! -- vt90 05/14/2020 08:14AM
I'm not sure I'd interpret that data at all, as Baltimore Hokie... -- Spud 05/14/2020 07:23AM
I think it depends on how they are measuring it -- HokieR 05/14/2020 07:20AM
Key needs are for sick people and high risk people to avoid social contact -- Hokie1992 05/14/2020 06:40AM
Supposedly takes 3 weeks to see -- HortHokie 05/13/2020 9:50PM
Maybe its just me but i feel like the "bad results" are always a moving -- HokieGator 05/13/2020 10:50PM
I can't speak for "the media" but the causes are different -- jmanatVT 05/14/2020 09:00AM
Whoever said that has clearly never eaten bad Mexican food. -- MP4VT2004 05/13/2020 9:52PM
You're right -- just about every state is getting an F (link inside) -- HokieBoy 05/13/2020 9:23PM
Hmmm. Their definition of 'social distancing' is...interesting -- Baltimore Hokie 05/13/2020 9:02PM
Good point -- VaTechie 05/13/2020 10:50PM
That has to be a typo right? -- HokieBoy 05/13/2020 9:33PM
Ha. I missed that part. -- MP4VT2004 05/13/2020 9:06PM
Yeah, anytime you go to the store you get an F ** -- Baltimore Hokie 05/13/2020 9:19PM
Virgina, like every other state, cannot stay locked down until there is a -- hokiemas 05/13/2020 9:00PM
Amen. And epidemiologists keep saying that, short of a vaccine... -- MP4VT2004 05/13/2020 9:04PM
There is a better goal than just "not overwhelming the hospitals". -- Hokie360 05/13/2020 10:26PM
Aren't more hopsitals laying off staff for lack of patients then those that -- Hokie1992 05/14/2020 06:45AM
My sincere concern is not so much for the unintended consequences today -- Tafkam Hokie 05/13/2020 9:13PM
Winner winner chicken dinner, we have set an awful precedent -- fordham 05/14/2020 09:27AM
The long-term economic damage will be far worse then than the health/medica ** -- Hokie1992 05/14/2020 06:47AM
If things turn around quickly, I think the economic damage is recoverable -- Tafkam Hokie 05/14/2020 2:05PM
We didn’t shut down for any of those. Examples -- Hokie Chris 05/13/2020 10:25PM
H1N1 was the Spanish flu pandemic. We had waay more info on that this time -- 48zip 05/14/2020 08:32AM
OK. There was also H1N1 epidemic in 2009 -- Hokie Chris 05/14/2020 10:22AM
No doubt. I just meant we're so far ahead with today's knowledge. Sadly -- 48zip 05/14/2020 11:23AM
From a science and data stand point it's super interesting -- Hokie Chris 05/14/2020 12:53PM
The precedent wasn't set then. Now it is. -- Tafkam Hokie 05/13/2020 10:59PM
Not doing anything is also a precedent and was set. -- jmanatVT 05/14/2020 08:48AM
Why? If we reacted on time, we could be reopening like Germany right now. ** -- VTSnake 05/14/2020 07:55AM
False. It’s either contagious or it’s not. It would’ve have still spread -- Hoakie82 05/14/2020 11:10AM
You are absolutely right, unfortunately ** -- VT20 05/14/2020 06:04AM
Move the cheese so that no official will want to be caught overreacting. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 05/14/2020 05:42AM
I'll disagree with you about the "precedent" set. I've been thinking that -- Hokie360 05/13/2020 10:06PM
I think future generations will determine if this was the "proper reaction" ** -- MP4VT2004 05/13/2020 9:20PM
True. But if the next one hits in three years -- Tafkam Hokie 05/13/2020 9:24PM
When did Dr. Fauci get his job? ** -- Hokie1992 05/14/2020 06:49AM
Director of NIAID since 1984 ** -- Gadfly 05/14/2020 06:59AM
Yes, 36 years. That's a long time. -- Hokie1992 05/14/2020 07:03AM
I’ve been an employee at VT since 1984. Please don’t discard me. ** -- Gadfly 05/14/2020 07:11AM
Congrats, impressive. most who could would stay at VT forever if we could -- Hokie1992 05/14/2020 07:17AM
Thanks for your service. Have you moved on to something else? ** -- Gadfly 05/14/2020 08:12AM
I’m still not convinced it was wrong to lock up the Japanese after P.Harbor ** -- Hoakie82 05/14/2020 01:04AM
If it was OK, they would have locked up German and Italian immigrants too. ** -- Hokie360 05/14/2020 10:32AM
Except Germany & Italy never didn’t attack Pearl Harbor in a surprise. ** -- Hoakie82 05/14/2020 11:02AM
Wait! It wasn't the Germans? ** -- 48zip 05/14/2020 1:12PM
Agry. Must be fake news. Everyone knows it was the Germans who bombed Pearl ** -- Tafkam Hokie 05/14/2020 1:29PM
So when if ever are their practical limits to our God-given freedoms? -- Hokie1992 05/14/2020 07:01AM
Very good point. -- MP4VT2004 05/13/2020 9:31PM
...this looks like it could be gravy ** -- chumley 05/13/2020 9:00PM
