Justice urges residents to get their flu shots

Justice: "I want us all to not forget our president."

"I am very, very hopeful for a speedy and complete recovery for our first lady and our president."

Justice: "We've been back to school now in all our counties. That's really good."

"Our color map, whether people want to cast rocks, is working really, really good."

Justice: "We don't need special interest groups casting stones. Anybody in their right mind can see all this is working, and it's working well."

Was reference to WVEA injunction, filed today

Coronavirus response coordinator Clay Marsh says what's been happening at the White House just shows how quickly covid can spread

Q from @stevenadamswv asks about WVEA suit

Justice: "It's political, and it surely smells political."

He objects to filing just weeks before election, although ... you know, that's also when The Map is affecting things

Justice says if there was no Map at all then all counties would be in classrooms

"It's just more politics."

Justice on @WVEAnews : "Boy would I have loved for them to sit in this chair and made the decisions and allowed me to just sit on the sidelines and cast stones."

Justice: "If they sue, if they don't sue, that's up to them. I could give a hoot."

Q from @dbeardtdp about status of bars in Monongalia County, since it's been green

Justice: "We're having a bunch of conversations with 'em, and I'm very, very hopeful."

Q from @cyoungIII, wanting an update on average weekly testing numbers

Adjutant General Hoyer says #WV had been down to low 3,100 weekly average -- now 5,800 weekly

Crouch says 5,985 now

A couple weeks ago, Justice said goal was at least 7,500 -- optimally 10,000 weekly

Justice says more testing has meant being able to identify more positive cases, encouraging those people to isolate

Q from @PhilKabler: "Regarding the outbreak at the White House, what lessons can we take from that?"

Justice: "Our president probably should take more precautions. His people around him should take more precautions."

Justice: "We've probably got to do a better job protecting him; he's got to do a better job of allowing us to protect him."

(re: President Trump)

Justice wraps up and encourages more people to seek out testing. "Just go get tested."

"Our numbers are moving in the right direction now."

Justice: "West Virginia, you're doing good. You're still the envy of the nation."

Justice: "Anyway, thank you so much."
