Governor Ralph Northam started Tuesday's briefing by directly addressing the criticism he received after photos showed him not wearing a mask during a visit to Virginia Beach over the weekend.
He said he was at Virginia Beach to thank the mayor and city leaders for their work on that effort, thank first responders in the city, and thank ambasadors in the area, all while in open air along the beach with social distancing in each meeting.
According to the governor, he was not planning to interact with members of the public while he was there. His account of the situation when pictures were taken is that he was headed down the Virginia Beach boardwalk to talk to members of the press when who he described as "well-wishers" approached him and wanted to take a photo.
Northam claimed he was not prepared for that, and had left his mask in his car, but wanted to accommodate the people's request for a photo because he tries to not turn down to requests for photos.While Virginia remains in Phase 1, Gov. Northam said one major change will come this Friday.
Effective Friday, May 29, Northam announced that people will need to wear face coverings inside public places of businesses.
The new mask order applies to everyone 10 and over and includes:
• All brick and mortar retail establishments • All personal care and grooming establishments • Inside any places where people congregate • Inside food and beverage establishments • On public transportation • When accessing state or local government services

This is a loathsome govenor!
I can’t imagine wanting to take a picture with this pile of dog squeeze. Unless I was taking video and said “Ok everyone, say ‘Coonman’! That would be a funny video just for his reaction.
Freegards
Let’s quote “Mr. black face “in this case the baby is born we put it on a table and then the doctors in the mom decide what to do with it”
This guy is beyond a scumbag Democrat he is a GHOUL. As scary as anyone you’d ever see on Halloween
Call or write the White House and demand the President brings in the Feds !
Trying to keep it going by masking EVERYONE
WTH?! Alaska opened back up a long time ago. Most people aren’t even wearing masks anymore. At our weekly Gathering of Marines nobody wore a mask and I only saw four customers wearing masks during a two and a half hour period.
Coonman is such a dishonest loser. Hopefully, Virginians will vote this pathetic, leftist, racist loser OUT!
Soon the Prisons will be full of people that would not wear a Mask
Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic we see so many worthless governors, mostly democrats like Cuomo and Northam, demonstrating that a variation of the PETER PRINCIPLE
applies to government bureaucracies and elected officials as well as non-governmental organizations.
In fact, the core concept of THE PETER PRINCIPLE might be even more applicable to governments than businesse.
Inefficient businesses must change or they wither away and die off.
But inefficient government organizations burdened with so many incompetent people just muddle on with ever larger budgets.
THE PETER PRINCIPLE SIMPLIFIED
“In a Hierarchy An Individual Will Rise To The Level Of His Own Incompetence.
Who can deny that the governors of California, New York and Virginia among others, have risen to a level where their incompetence is undeniable and on full display?
Guess black face or dunce cap ain’t gonna cut it then?
china has neutered americans with the help of traitor americans.
new civil war may be required to get out of this slavery/tyranny.
trump is talking right now as I am typing this pushing masks indoors.
Unfortunately plenty do.
Why? The dem voters in VA voted for this jerk. Actions have consequences.
Almost no one in Nevada County, CA is wearing these things. Few, if any ever did.
Why not! It’s called revolution and the president can do it under the Stafford Act which has been in effect since March!!
And on Friday the temperature in Virginia is going to reach the mid to upper 80’s.
On the bright side, it will be hard for the virtue signalers to virtue signal if everyone has to wear a mask.
Yesterday, I saw a 20-something guy sitting alone at a table at the outside patio area of a coffee shop that had been closed for two hours. Absolutely no one else was around. It was about 5pm, the hottest point of what was until today the hottest day it has been all year.
We do not have to wear masks where I am.
