(June 5, 2020) Worcester County has reached 223 cases of coronavirus and 14 deaths, according to the Worcester County Health Department. This is an increase of 25 cases from last week.
The Maryland Department of Health indicates that all Worcester’s coronavirus-related deaths have been at the Berlin Nursing Home. One of the deaths is listed as “probable” because the individual was never tested. The county department said that most of the deaths have been women in their 80s.

and with OC open and most visitors coming down from NYC, NJ and PA I am waiting for the second wave. I know OC needs the money but I feel it will be at the expense of the entire rejoin.
There will be a second wave because of all the tourists
The tourists will be taking it home considering how people have acting here.
Also, these protester-criminal-rioters. New York numbers have spiked, not a coincidence despite what the moronic may says.
If we need to get it to have immunity then we need exposure. The idea was to slow cases down so the hospitals were not overwhelmed. We have done that so well, one covid section of our hospital has been closed and now treating cardiac patients. We have to allow these businesses to open. We can't let small business fail. If the workers at Lowes and Walmart don't have an outbreak by now then I think we are ok. Allow people to make the decision to go or not to go. If the numbers go back up badly, we can always deal with that when the time comes.
So, no big deal. Many of these were traffic and other deaths marked incorrectly, and the overall death rate for this year is below the usual.
Does anyone find it odd
that those dying are on Social security?
