How about "open for business"?
ReplyDeleteCAN I GET A HAIRCUT YET?
ReplyDeleteYes, open the rest!
ReplyDeleteGolf courses should’ve never been shut. Every other retail business should be opened with the same capacity limits and distancing measures that grocery, drug and convenience stores are using. It’s not that hard to adjust.
ReplyDeletePeople are starving.
ReplyDeleteBusinesses will be opening - support them!
Most parks were always open. Human parks that is because I think the dog parks closed down. The only state parks that were completely closed down were Assateague and Sandy Point. The rest have always been open for people to walk around. Same with countny parks and municipal parks. Some things were shut like the basketball courts and playgrounds but the rest of the parks were open.
ReplyDeleteNot true, even the county closed their parks and trails.
DeleteSo are Assateague and Sandy Point open now?

But they are still required to follow guidelines to keep 6 foot apart, right?
Come on dude, are you really that dependent on being told how far to stay from someone else 10:13? Next you'll be letting hogan tell you what you can have for dinner and when to go to bed. I hope "your leash" is at least six feet long.
Delete9:56 there is much confusion surrounding "social distancing". Keep in mind social distancing is NOT an order or a proclamation. It's not ever been. It is and always has been ADVISED and therefore the most any officer of the law can do is remind people it is advised.
ReplyDeleteThe state of MD issued "guidance" on social distancing which has been posted on the Maryland state Coronavirus website page. I've copied for you the guidance on social distancing.
All Marylanders are also advised to practice social distancing. Social distancing is a way to keep people from interacting closely or frequently enough to spread an infectious disease. Social distancing can take many forms, depending on your lifestyle and your family and work situation, and can include the following habits and steps:
Avoid handshaking, hugging and other intimate types of greeting
Avoid non-essential travel (your health care provider may have specific guidance for your situation)
Avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces
Work from home if possible for your work situation
Avoid unnecessary errands — consider ways to have essential items, like food and other household supplies, brought to your house through online delivery services or through family or social networks
