The governing body in Virginia has done plenty to push locally owned small businesses to close their doors permanently. Forcing more restrictions permanently will only do further harm to the small number of locally owned small businesses that are left. Hasn’t the population/economic well-being  of Virginia suffered enough with the drastic lockdowns we experienced?  I am absolutely opposed to further dividing society and causing grief for our citizens in this state. It seems odd that the state’s governing body is trying to make permanent a temporary mandate for a temporary problem. Haven’t the numbers in the Virginia statistics declined?  Then there is no need to further force the citizens of this state to continue under such drastic measures.
