An open letter to State Governors

Close The Commonwealth

18 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The exponential growth of the Covid-19 virus is a mathematical certainty. What remains to be seen is what you're going to do about it. If Virginia continues on its current course our hospitals will be overwhelmed by April 8th and the remaining HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Covid-19 patients will be treated, if they are treated at all, in make-shift facilities with inadequate supplies. 172,000 Virginians will die before the end of May. You can change that but you have to act RIGHT NOW. Close the commonwealth. Order all Virginians to shelter in place. Follow the California model, and instead of 172,000 dead Virginians we'll be looking at just 3,000. 169,000 of your constituents are counting on you, Mr Governor. This is your chance to define your political legacy. This is your chance to be a hero.
