The governor of Maryland said on Sunday that a Saturday cross-state vehicle protest organized by "ReOpen Maryland" included only a few dozen protestors, a number, he said, that was eclipsed by the number of deaths from the Wuhan coronavirus in the state that day. In reality, the protest he alluded to included several hundred vehicles at the origin point in Frederick, Maryland and gained hundreds of others along the route to Salisbury on the state's eastern shore.
Hogan, speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday morning, dismissed protest organizer ReOpen Maryland's efforts to end the lockdown saying that "a couple of dozen people" expressing their right to protest had "every right" to do so but their insignificant participation didn't represent the state.
"Sadly, we had far more people die yesterday in Maryland than we had protesters," Gov. Hogan continued solemnly. Maryland reported 30 new deaths from the day attributed to COVID-19, according to The Washington Post, as well as a state-wide decline in COVID-related hospitalizations. ReOpen Maryland has more than 23,000 members on their Facebook page as of Monday morning.

Lard Ass Henpecked Larry says what ever his Korean wife tells him to say.

It might interest you covidiots to know, you are the MINORITY! Less than 20% of the public want to lift these restrictions during this pandemic. Get a life, do not think you can endanger others.
Hitler never told the people the truth, since the 3rd Reich owned the news networks they spread the lies and allowed Hitler to spread his lies freely. Hogan, aka Hitler, is doing the same.

It seems those that are comfortable with staying at home for whatever reason feel that everyone else should do the same. You must be on a guaranteed income or welfare. That too will dwindle if everyone stays home. NO work no economy.
