ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced the stay-home order will be lifted 5 p.m. Friday and the state will move to a safer-at-home advisory.
"The fight against this deadly disease if far from over. But because of incredible courage you have shown and the extraordinary sacrifices you have made, Maryland, and our nation, can now at least begin to slowly recover," Hogan said.
Hogan has said the recovery plan has four essential building blocks that must happen to reopen the state: expanded testing, increased hospital surge capacity, increased supply of personal protective equipment and a robust contact-tracing operation.
Hogan said Maryland has achieved the 14-day trend of plateauing and decreasing numbers of hospitalizations and deaths.
"Today, I am pleased to announce that Maryland has achieved the 14-day trend of plateauing and declining numbers," Hogan said. "This allows us to cautiously and safely begin Stage One of the recovery plan."
Last week, with the four building blocks for recovery in place and after a week of encouraging numbers, Maryland's Coronavirus Recovery Team unanimously recommended revised guidelines to allow for elective medical procedures and increased number of outdoor activities, Hogan said.Hogan said Maryland has achieved the 14-day trend of plateauing and decreasing numbers of hospitalizations and deaths.

What a CROCK I went out anyway lol cops where too busy bullshitting and hiding behind building.
ReplyDeleteExactly I did to this hasn't stopped me from living my life
DeletePolice in Maryland were never stopping Cars for this reason. Military never knocked on doors or did road blocks. Food service never closed. It was all bs. As usual.
DeleteI thought it was lifted considering the beaches.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, many people will go well beyond the reduced limits. Especially since there are no real consequences.
ReplyDeleteRobust Contact Tracing
ReplyDeleteA communist idea of tracking subjects using all means available in order to control behavior. An invasion of privacy in the highest order.

He's talking about numbers plateauing in the hospitals. Not positive cases.
DeleteNot for restaurants and bars
ReplyDeleteHe got pressured from big money in OC to open everything for Memorial Day Weekend. End of story.
ReplyDeleteThank God for that big money shout out Leighton Moore Dr Berger and the Hale brothers
DeleteDid you neither if you hear anything! Restaurants and bars remain closed.
DeleteEastern shore is about to go from beach towns to petri dish
ReplyDeleteokay Dooms Dayers start commenting on how the numbers are going to rise and people are going to be stacked 2 fold in the overwhelmed hospitals and how the bodies are going to be stored in perdue's freezers or some other nonsense predictions.
ReplyDeleteYou think it’s hard getting meat at the store now, wait until the restaurants open back up this Friday.
ReplyDeleteNOT restaurants and bars....did u even listen to his announcement?
Deleteoh thank you fine Sir....for keeping me safe,
ReplyDeleteand not to be around those who are sick
thank you...thank you
Rumor has it that Hogan has invested heavily in Casket and cement Burial Vault companies as of yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smile...lol
Delete"There's no reason to be walking around with a mask," infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci told 60 Minutes.
ReplyDeleteWhile masks may block some droplets, Fauci said, they do not provide the level of protection people think they do. Wearing a mask may also have unintended consequences: People who wear masks tend to touch their face more often to adjust them, which can spread germs from their hands.

Try wearing it 8 hours a day. You don't breathe normally and it's exhausting
DeleteAdolph Hogan and the Third Reich cannot take the heat. But then again Adolph Hogan's "elite" has to open OC and let these non-residents infect us for his / their economic gain.
ReplyDeleteI read no where where restaurants are able to open. Does that mean only restaurants in OC will be the only ones open?
The mandate of wearing mask is no longer mandatory but should be worn in indoor areas and on transit. Did I miss social distancing or was it not addressed. It never worked in OC last weekend.
Wisconsin Supreme Court knocks down stay-at-home order.
ReplyDelete7:30 What Hogan said was corrected. He didn't say cases per day but hospitalizations per day. The key word is plateauing. The past 14 days the rates have been lower then the plateau which was April 30th when over 1700 were hospitalized.
ReplyDeleteAnother note-while not all the testing is in from the Salisbury mass testing prelim numbers look like about an 8 percent infection rate.
So now we can enjoy live music, corn hole and outdoor eating at restaurants?
ReplyDeleteI will do what I want...don't give a rip what he says...
ReplyDeleteYep 9pm...and they packed bars and restaurants last nite. Interesting, guess those establishments had a leg up on the decision since they had food/drink to serve.
ReplyDeleteThere's no such thing as a stay at home order. My First Amendment told me so!
