BREAKING NEWS: Salisbury News Exposes Upcoming Stages To Reopen Maryland

This is not good at all. Read the details. It means businesses like Seacrets will not be allowed to open. Large gatherings will not be allowed. Non resident property owners and visitors cannot travel to Ocean City legally! Stage 1 won't even start till late May, early June, IF the numbers do in fact drop for two straight weeks.

It says under phase 1 travel restrictions will be lifted so people can travel to ocean city.....they just wont be able to do anything once they get there.

Those are actually almost word for word what the federal guidelines say. It looks like they just copy and pasted it from the notice the White House posted on their website. They have had that out for a few weeks now, but the dates were from Hogan.

Joe - Everybody knows that there are way too many non-resident property owners and visitors in Ocean City. They have been coming in and out freely since before Easter. Why should the rest of us have to obey any laws at all when that has been going on right under our masked noses? Please ask the mayor why he refuses to allow any enforcement at all. Thank you.

So what ? Non successful bars will be allowed to open because they average about 10 head a day maybe. This is a good thing.

Anonymous said...

Federal guidelines say schools can open under phase 2 but we wont get stage 2 until the summer anyway.

I'm not even convinced schools will open in the fall. A middle school cafeteria looks worse than a college bar on finals week. They would have to shut down the school every time a 1 kid gets sick just to prevent an outbreak. Then again kids are low risk. It's going to be a tough call with schools.

3:48 - You bring up a good point:
Where IS the Mayor?
OC is such a unique town in a unique situation that some of the general guidelines have to be tweaked a little, some up, some down.
How in the world are you going to keep six feet away from others on the boardwalk?
They say the boardwalk is closed, but the Webcam shows differently.
We really don't know what is going on.
Love to hear from the Mayor...

Stage 3 - until there's a vaccine? Like hell Hogan or anyone else will force any vaccine on me! Or continue to tell me where I can go, who or how many I can associate with. Why are people not outraged over this?! This is a complete takeover of our civil liberties and freedom. This is tyranny and we must stand against it or we'll all lose everything. This virus is going to go away like other viruses. There's already been devastating damage to our entire country over this, now we can't allow these powermongering dictators to take away anymore from us. Vaccines are toxic poison and I'm absolutely certain mad scientist Bill Gates has never taken one himself or given one to his family. Do your homework on (evil) Bill Gates and vaccines.

3:37 Quit being stupid!!!! If they force Vaccinations, it will be Country wide, like taxes, you can't move from this, you either help us fight it or you shut the hell up and sit down, and be a good slave... And YES, they will make it MANDATORY VACCINES!!!! BILL GATES, THE MEDIA, ALREADY HINTED TO THIS!!! They always hint to things right before they do it like with the Face masks... They kept saying you don't need them, then they said anything other than N95 mask won't work, now it is mandatory to have a face covering of any material!!!! Think about that!!! They kept saying nothing works for this virus but N95 mask and better, and was voluntary, but now it is mandatory and any material they said will work!!! Well the virus is 0.004 or 0.0004 microns so any mask with holes bigger than that, you will get the virus if there is a virus nearby!!!

They already said, you will need to be tested before you can go back to work, and I am sure you heard by now most tests give false positives and were tainted with the virus itself????

But hey, you all wanted socialism, and this is what it is!!!! Your told what to do, when to do it and how, and if you don't, no work for, no food for you, no money for you... Soon the tech will be in place, you see this is part of it, they are installing big devices all around the country to track you, while you all are at home not able to see them do it...

but hey what do I know, I am the only so called conspiracy theorist who has been right 100% of the time for the past 2 years!!!! But I digress!!!!

you people sure do love being a slave!!!!

3:48 Are you really that obtuse and stupid???? THEY ALL WANT IT TO SPREAD, PERIOD!!!! Just like had China banned interstitial travel but didn't, which is weird becasue they banned travel inside China but let people come and go as if they want it to spread... Or when the who basically said not enough people died yet of an "unknown virus" so they didn't issue a travail ban either, as if they wanted it to spread... Or how the CDC some how "mistakenly" let out tainted test as if they want it to spread... Think about that!!!!

And to answer your question, you don't have to follow those rules, that is all they are, rules, not law, get that??? it is just that you have corrupt retard judges and cops who will follow any order they are given, and they like to push tyranny so they ticket or lock people up, but think about that, they will lock you up for going outside and doing stuff or opening your store, but are releasing criminals from jail over the virus!!!!

Cops have discretion and they have a moral and ethical obligation to not enforce unjust laws, but they do it anyway...

LOL lets start with the fact that this post does NOT "expose" anything!!! All this information has been readily available to the public online for days. Too funny. If one has to lie already in the headline, I doubt much of the commentary is worth any more than the digital ink that was wasted on it.

Anonymous said...

Non-residents are not bringing anything here that you didn't all ready have except MONEY. There are plenty of professional locals that YES actually travel to make their living and pose the same exposure hysteria. They don't shop at Wal-Mart or Aldi or the the dollar store. They can afford not to stand in lines and expose themselves to the local ignorance and non compliance.

Hogan and Meehan allows non-resident property owners in OC and out of staters in MD now. Hogan what are you doing about that? Hogan and Meehan are condoning law breakers in MD now while MD citizens that are residents of the Eastern Shore are punished and our Constitutional rights are violated? Bet Hogan and his elite group will be in OC.

They say until there is a vaccine for covid-19 there will be these restrictions. What virus / disease / illness has a cure all vaccine?

Hogan is doing what the Socialist Democrats want him to do. Hogan needs to resign and give up his pension and benefits then move to Korea.

Hogan is / has destroyed Maryland.

It takes a long time to restructure an economy and all of the financial instruments which have been created to loot the Treasury. So I agree with this time line. It will be very late 2020 before the new communist government is ready to be rolled out. Mr Trump will benefit tremendously because of his assistance with this process.

You will not hear anything negative regarding this issue from Rickie or Lloyd. Caution yes, media commericals telling everyone to wait and eventually we will be open again....but in the meantime stay home and safe so when we do open, you can come. Happy stuff. That's all they know plus when OC does open there is no guarantee folks will come. Remember, this town was hemorrhaging mid weeks because prices were too high....hence for years the makeup to vacant rooms during the summer were weekend Events in the spring and fall until Xmas, then 6 weeks off until Valentines weekend into boat show weekend.

This has been going on for years without a sound strategic plan. The City Manager who brought sound future visions and planning ended up with circumstances of getting divorced and drinking problems that got him fired. He actually wasn't vetted properly by the prior regime with challenges in FLA. He had good ideas but didn't represent the City in a proper manner. Since then really nothing indeed of an emergency AND city salaries (govt and police force) that are very high.

You asked where is the mayor? You really don't want to know.

We residents in OC are at the mercy of vacationers and (mostly) 2nd home owners.

2:00pm, I HOPE you're joking!!! What you just said, is SO inhumane, insensitive, IGNORANT, and SELF SERVING! I no longer live there THANK GOD, but I grew up in OC, and lived 40 years there, and your comment is DISCUSTING! YOU, said you're at the mercy of the visitors, yet you evade the FACT that without the "visitors" hard earned tax dollars, your "self annointed kingdom" would be a SAND BAR! Who are YOU to decide WHO is allowed in YOUR town? What if YOU had loved ones that didn't live there, but needed a place to stay? Would YOU turn your back on them?? Hint, there's only 1 correct answer. I'm sure YOU, being the Self appointed one who decides who's granted entrance to YOUR domain, doesn't feel the CONSTITUTION has any bearing on it, BUT there is a interstate commerce and travel clause, as well as the Supreme Court ruling on "Ex Parte Milligan" section 71 states: Neither the legislative nor any executive or legislative officer may disregard any provisions of the Constitution in cases of emergency". Going off YOUR theory, YOU in turn should NOT be able to leav YOUR sand bar under ANY circumstances! Fortunatly, even though YOU have NO regard for anyone's constitutional rights, there are MANY of us that will still fight and STAND UP FOR YOURS!!! Tonight, when you lay your massaginistic head down to sleep, maybe YOU should ask GOD to help you find peace in your tangled heart....I encourage EVERY "Non OC citezen" to think of this person's thoughts of YOU next time you wanna enjoy the beach, and realize YOU'RE NOT WELCOME, and possibly choose a different, more welcoming resort to have fun. This is NOT the OC I so loved as a child.
