Why does our State Government want to punish us further?

There is NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF that masks and social distancing reduce the possibility of infection for viral diseases.  Furthermore, COVID was produced in a laboratory for use a a bioweapon.  Instead of punishing citizens, we should throw the purveyors of this virus out of our government and our country.

Landlords, small businesses and even large businesses have suffered greatly due to the restrictions you want to make permanent.  Regular citizens went unemployed for as long as a year and in the end, we learned that statistics were falsified with respect to the number of cases AND the number of deaths.  All these losses were UNNECESSARY, just as your ridiculous restrictions are UNNECESSARY.

My question is:  Why are you eager to make the citizens to SUFFER MORE?  This is a legitimate question.  Every day we learn more about why COVID 19 exists and who is behind its creation and spread.

If instituted permanently, these restrictions will result in numerous court cases related to the violation of rights under our Constitution.  Our State will spend $$billions of dollars defending itself in for which costs will be passed along by way of taxation to the citizens.

As is occurring in California, PEOPLE WILL LEAVE THIS STATE IN DROVES and you can turn Virginia into a prison colony.  

This proposed regulation is an absurdity and an affront to the tax paying citizens of Virginia.
