These next round of "revisions" clearly show the same bias & blatant lack of Virginia's commitment to protect simple freedoms. Unfortunately, this state (as well as many others) will have to learn the hard way - at what point do we, the employees, finally say we've had enough of these restrictions? Given that they are only in place to allow our employers to continue making money, these divisive regulations will undoubtedly have a negative impact on workplace morale, staffing, & solidarity.
Can someone explain to the citizens of this state:
With so many changing narratives in the ever-changing, inconsistent narrative that is Covid-19, why do the leaders of Virginia STILL feel like it is their duty & their right to disregard the freedoms granted to their own citizens?
At some point, we all must realize and accept that we cannot "protect" ourselves by attempting to control others. As with anything in life, we make choices that are best for ourselves & those that we care about. If we lose the freedom to make these choices, we are giving up control of the one thing that inherently ours - our lives.
If you fear the Covid-19 virus - by all means, mask up and/or get vaccinated. It is your right to believe in any threat & make appropriate decisions based on what you feel is best for you. However, that should in no way make you feel empowered nor obligated to oppress others with your own feelings & beliefs. Common courtesy & respect for each other as diverse, free-thinking individuals has gone out the window since the onset of Covid. I urge this state to stop creating more division & adversity among its residents. As I stated in my previous post - all of this has gone on for far too long. Virginia must move forward from Covid-19, in a way that is inclusive of ALL of its residents.
