THIS headline isn't unusual in Loudoun County, Virginia or across the country while we deal with the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately the right wing neo-nazi fascist comments posted are not unusual either. The covidiots express their voluntary ignorance in defense of the inadequate response to the pandemic by (NOT MY) pres drumpf / trump and his administration, but who they gonna call when they get Covid-19?

“It is important to recognize that while the steps Loudoun residents have taken over the past two months to reduce the spread of infection have caused the health metrics to head in the right direction and allowed us to move to Phase Two of the reopening plan, the potential for exposure to COVID-19 remains present in our community,” Loudoun County Health Director David Goodfriend said in a prepared statement Thursday. “So, I continue to recommend that older adults and people with underlying health conditions use extra caution in public, and ask that all of us remain vigilant in practicing infection control measures that include washing hands frequently, staying home when sick, maintaining six foot distances when possible and wearing face coverings in public to help keep us headed in the right direction.”
