We have a chance to stop the spread and keep some areas of Virginia safe if you act now and shut the entire state down. However you won't till it's too late and every county in VA is infected.

There are more than that here in VA. You all just refuse to test and confirm it. Two ppl I know in SWVA have both requested tests because they showed symptoms and they were denied because they hadn't been out of the country. You're gonna get us killed doing it this way.
