Here;s What YOU Need To Think About Referencing Today's Message From Governor Hogan's Press Release

Earlier today, Maryland reported 1,985 confirmed cases of COVID-19—an increase of 325 new cases, which is the largest one-day increase to date. The Maryland Department of Health announced 13 additional deaths as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing the state’s total to 31 deaths.

Here's what no one is thinking about. 325 new people tested positive in the last 24 hours. I just finished a meeting in which even I hadn't considered. Of those 325 people, how many people did EACH one of the 325 people who tested positive surround themselves with? Husband, wife, children, mom, dad, CO WORKERS? Think about this for a minute. Each one of those 325 people that exposed others now have to be quarantined for TWO WEEKS! 

So let's say John Doe, (one of the 325) has a wife and 2 children. John has to be quarantined on his own and the wife and kids need to be quarantined separately until it is confirmed they do or don't have the virus. 

The snowball affect will be incredible. Hospitals don't want to place the wife and kids in the hospital. They want to make sure they have available beds and as Governor Hogan admitted, in two weeks we could be looking like New York City, or worse. 

Oh, let me say this as well. To the people who want to come on here in comments and claim this is a complete hoax, please volunteer at any local hospital without a mask, gown or sanitizer. Until you do, shut up and find another place to expose your theories. I've let you have your fun in comments today but I will be rejecting them from here on out.

The hoax is the bar owner that refused to quit serving his patrons, shoulder to shoulder at the bar, until he was ordered not to do so. And then claims he is all on board with the bans being issued now. Yeah it was a hoax back then, but now the bar owner thinks its serious. A bit late if you ask me. Does the right thing ONLY when the law makes him.

Two weeks. That’s it then back to work for anyone that is not high risk. If you are worried stay home. The economic collapse will be far worse than corona.

Joe you have tried to drive some damn common sense into people and they just will not listen. Until this hits them personally they will not understand. Then they will be squawking.

Thank you Joe. People really don't realize how this daisy chains like wild fire. If people had family members else where working in the Medical field they would know not only how scared the sick are but the providers and the Hospital administrators. This is a very real thing to take very seriously. It will be a defining moment in many of our lives our Nation and the Economy and how we recover.

Ive read several articles stating that all deaths for that day were included in the count regardless if it was from cv19. One article referenced their were doing that for the fear factor. I certainly hope MD isnt doing that. Where is the daily count showing by county?
These numbers and spreading could severely be reduced if Hogan would get Hydroxychloroquine for people, dosent appear he's good at acquiring resources tho.... Appears their at a race to see who can make a vaccine for bazillions instead of actually stopping the death rate.

When you really think about there is no doubt that once diagnosed the contacts you have can spiral totally out of control.Thank you Joe for the heads up!

Oh i dont think this is a hoax. I believe its an attack.. collusion of democrats with china to impact the election..remember the swamp does not care how many die to further thier evil agenda

Not where I thought this waa going. 345 people average household of 4 this one day could make another 1360 plus add that for a 7 day period could get super ugly. Average 200×4×7=5600×2= 11800. Sorry if math is off. Doing it in my head.

Keep in mind, the wife and kids, (for example) would be quarantined for 14 days each.
