I thought Mayor Day said there were over 600 in Wicomico County. Surely, he's right.

It’s also those with pre existing serious health conditions who are young.

Let’s look at the numbers presented for the entire state of Maryland: 0-59; 5,699 cases diagnosed, 40 deaths (.07 tenths of 1 percent)
60-80+; 2,526 cases diagnosed, 195 deaths (7.7 percent)
A little closer analysis of the numbers indicate the following:
Based on Maryland’s estimated population .00139 percent of the population have been diagnosed, of which .00039 percent have died from it.

Reviewing the above numbers, and watching the video with the Doctor at MIT, I am very hard pressed to continue to accept all this “limited travel, sequestering in home keeping my business closed, etc. It almost feels like I have been snookered. I certainly hope not, but with each passing day I am beginning to look at this “thing” and my government’s action, both state and federal a little differently. And I do not believe I am alone.

WOW Looks like they have tested 42 people in Wicomico County now.
Boy that number is really climbing.
IT would be higher if they really started testing anyone.
