Hogan, Maryland Is Not Ready To Reopen

Stated until our numbers continue to drop for two weeks straight he's not lifting anything. He's optimistic if we continue to stay in things will turn around fairly soon. This is not good, not even recreational boating!

Need to address it by county...eastern shore should have some restrictions eased and close the bridge to the western shore. Same with the rest of the country. We don’t chose to live on top of 8.6 million people in NYC so the entire country shouldn’t be handled the same as them. If soybeans caused this, and only direct contact with them caused infection, would NYC or even Baltimore lock down because the eastern shore had a problem?

We should NOT open for another six months. Also EVERYONE MUST SNITCH.

I buy what he's selling. I think he's got the right ideas. Best for health and business in the long-run. It would be catastrophic to open too soon and risk a second, even deadlier wave.

This is ESPECIALLY the case for Worcester County, too. Since its economy relies so heavily on tourism/leisure.

Think about it. Is it going to hurt that restaurants and hotels can't really start to open for another 4-6 weeks? Absolutely. But would it be even WORSE if a resort area opened too soon and gained national news for being a center of a new outbreak? I believe so.

I got exactly nothing from that release. Could have been said two days ago, until the downward trend is two weeks to the good. Gonna be a LONG depression folks.

The economy being shut down is hurting way more folks than the virus. It has to end now.

Hogan is making the right call, and he is following Trumps guidelines. Both Hogan and the president said there must be 2 weeks of improvement before states should open.

He’s following Trump administration guidelines. Good for him. And us.

So, in NYC, which has seen about 1/4th of the virus deaths in the country, was so NOT overwhelmed that the extra hospital beds brought in to help where essentially not used. But Maryland needs to stay locked down! What sense does that make? We have local hospitals taking virus patients from other areas but we remain locked down so our health system won’t be overrun?

Getting tough to find wearing his (can't be too careful) mask. Doesn't he realize that the mask is to keep the wearer from spreading their gems to others? Hogan start moving his jaws when the camera goes on and everyone drops their masks. It would be of less risk to sit in a bar with a mask (hole for the sip cup of course.

This is because politicians are still being paid, those of us starving don’t have a voice. The economic impact is going to have far more long term health problems than the pandemic.

Hogan is just spreading his BS. If he is not why is there so many out of state people in MD / OC. His order was "stay at home" just like the State they came from. They are violating the order / law twice and they are getting away with it. They are coming from their highly infected areas and bring it to the Eastern Shore. This also includes those from Western MD / across the bridge. They are not staying at home in their permanent residence Hogan is not enforcing his own order. they believe they are above the law. they are probably the College grads that cannot understand plain English. Hogan and these BS Politians are getting paid. They don't care. Take away their paychecks and benefits.

Another huge complication with Ocean City is the out of state visitors. Big number from several states. There is no possible way to begin to control the flow. The collection of people will then take the virus back home with them. There is simply no way around it.

If they refuse to enforce the stay-at-home order, why should anyone obey any of the other orders? OC (my home town)is teeming with out-of-towners and Meehan is doing NOTHING to stop the influx.

Everyone just calm down and wait for your government check and monthly ration of tp. All will be fine when the grocery stores have empty shelves but we saved 40 lives. Just wait folks it is close

Hogan has become the Great Appeaser of Liberal Leftist in Annapolis and D.C. Swamp. His stance had changed in last 6 months dramatically for worse. Did "They" forced him or bribed him? Did you notice how he goes against Trump every time in bashful ways? Not even Cuomo of NY goes as far as Hogan, and he is a Democrat! What's going on, Larry? If you want to continue "your shutdown" then close the Bay Bridge and leave the Eastern Shore alone. We can do just fine without "your Mandatory Bureocracy". And when those folks around Baltimore & D.C. start having food shortages, which will happen, you will be calling the "Shore-billies" to bring in a lots of chicken. Just wait and see! Not a Leader, but Follower with No Plan! And a Huge Disappointment.

Easy for ones to say when they still have their income coming in and not about to lose what they have worked hard for years for. If you want to stay home, fine, everyone else needs to get back to work to save their 9 lives!

Anonymous said...

You'll see in a week or two, the real reason to prolong the lock down. You will see a group of governors start screaming bankruptcy for their state. Even though they were previously spending like drunkin democrats long before this hyped virus. Those gov's that mismanaged their states funds {remember all that spending hogan was doing as he's soon departing}, will basically hold the economy for ransom. They will insist Trump bail them out {our tax money} They will also force steep tax hikes on us all, so they can recover from their own malfeasance.
They state they care about small businesses, but not like its their own livelihood {its not their blood sweat and tears}. They only care enough to play the hand their about to reveal. Dont think for one moment they care about your wellfare,your quality of life or even your health, if they did...they wouldnt tax you into poverty.

The damn fool can't seem to stop listening to Andrew Cuomo and he's more of a death monger than the Devil himself.

The Eastern Shore is the garden spot of the World and what we get over here is Hell on Hell all the time due to nothing but rank ignorance on the other side of the damn bridge that brings them here. It'd be fine with me if he quarantines all those Western Counties for ever. It would also be nice if him and the other morons were never acknowledged again as long as I live by the News media.

No one wants to be responsible for a potential mass covic 19 event in ocean city. It would be both dangerous and irresponsible to open ocean city when the area numbers have been going up. I am self employed here in Worcester, and would love to get back to work but potentially exposing myself, and accidentally or unknowingly exposing my family is not worth any money I can make. I personally do not see ocean city reopening anytime before July 15. That is just my opinion, and it’s based on nothing more than a very uneducated guess.

When is the eastern shore ever going to learn - the only way to economic and political parity - is for a complete secession from the western shore. The covid - 19 stats speak for themselves as the Chesapeake Bay bridge should have been shutdown for eastern bound travelers in order to protect our eastern shore residents. How many times do I have to repeat myself!!!

Two weeks from now we will know how this virus is
Progressing as the governor of the Great state of Georgia has taken it upon himself to make his state the Petri dish.
Yesterday they opened up tattoo parlors and nail salons
and today movie theaters and bowling alleys and gyms.
If in two weeks their numbers have continued to go down then we know the rest of us are safe. However if their numbers go through the roof every one of you complaining about Gov.Hogan need to apologize.
I would rather not be the population in the Petri dish.
Gov. Kemp’s medical community is very concerned about his brilliant move.

I have news for you all - Wyoming never did issue a Stay-At-Home order. And if the eastern shore had separated from western shore MD we easternshore residents wouldn't be experiencing these burdensome restrictions.

Response: Agree! The concept doesn't seem so draconian after all - especially in light of the western shore covid-19 case numbers. Secession - is certainly plausible, and a strong case could be made for eastern shore independence.

Hogan may as well flushed that money he paid for those inferior tests down the toilet. I heard there are hardly anyone at the testing sites as it is. Most aren't interested now in if they *have* it BUT if they've *had* it. Everyone I know thinks they already did have it including myself the beginning of March. Some I know think they had it as far back at end of Dec and Jan This hollering for "more testing" is nothing but a political stunt to try and make the President look bad.

Let me say this, when there are enough of us having grown weary of our Constitutional rights being violated and trampled on, with total disregard by Government of respecting them; then it will not make a damn what Hogan says or does. We the people will begin to assemble to exercise our rights, and in such numbers Hogan and his ilk will become irrelevant. Will this happen? It may be getting closer with each passing day, particularly with the continuation of the autocratic behavior being demonstrated by Hogan and his peers. There are many of us that are beginning to develop a greater fear of the loss of rights and livelihoods than our fear of Government and the virus.

Hogan's plan is logical and well thought out. The reason why Maryland's number are not thru the roof is that he was very aggressive in protecting Marylanders. Social distancing is going to be the new norm. Maryland will re open slowly and carefully. Smart businesses are already making plans to re open with new policies and social distancing in place. Maryland residents should be grateful Hogan was pro active. Be part of the solution people and work together.
