I strongly oppose any mandate or Executive Order to require masks for the next 6 months.  It is unjustified as nobody can predict the need this far into the future.  If masks are essential to spread COVID-19, they should be required in VA prisons instead of releasing criminals early.  You are treating Virgina citizens & businesses worse than prisoners, as they are being released earlier from lockdowns than VA citizens & businesses.  I have lived in VA most of my 72 years, but I’m seriously considering moving to West VA if this tyranny continues.  You are also treating domestic terrorists (rioters) better than law abiding citizens, as they aren’t being required to wear masks & social distance.  If implemented, this 6-month mandate will be challenged by the Department of Justice & perhaps even the Supreme Court, as it is unconscionable & unconstitutional.  It is being done for a liberal political agenda not for bipartisan reasons.  VA is not & should never be governed like California or NY.
