Waiting for Labor Day

On September 1, Governor Ralph Northam held his first COVID-19 press conference in three weeks and warned against being complacent. In the early days of the pandemic, Northam held a news conference every day. So many terms were new to us, from “flattening the curve” to “social distancing” to “community spread” and we didn’t quite know what we were in for. Eventually the news conferences slowed to three days a week, and then in late June, regular briefings stopped. So when they happen, I think it’s worth documenting them. What is the state of our Commonwealth's response as we approach Labor Day?
