PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, Md. (WJZ) —A caravan of National Guard vehicles made their way through Baltimore Friday en route to FedEx Field, which officials said could become a coronavirus testing site.
Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks’ office said county and state health officials are creating a “limited closed PILOT program for screening” at the site several miles outside the nation’s capital.
“The goal for the site is to become a testing location in the future. At the direction of Governor Larry Hogan, the Maryland National Guard is assisting in building the site, and we thank the Washington Redskins for allowing us to utilize the FedExField parking lot,” Alsobrooks’ office said in a statement Friday evening.

Some of you commenters stated the National Guard are in the area - any chance they will be setting up "testing stations". That's what they are doing at FedEx Field in PG county MD.
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: Baltimore is already s disaster area without the contribution of the virus. If the supplies to grocery stores is interrupted, it will be hell on earth as they continue shooting and killing each other. The only difference will be that it is not just crime and normal tribal violence, it will because of empty shelves. Marauding for food will become the norm and you had better be prepared. In Atlanta a few years ago, I recall a late spring snow storm that prevented re-stocking of grocery stores and community members were shooting each other over remaining stocks.
