Until Larry gets a call from Nancy then round 2 will start.
Larry will not open schools he will pull the plug soon enough. He is in full anti President mode and completely supports Joe “ Trojan Horse” Biden.
You folks really are this delirious huh? Lol
States across the nation are showing spikes in positive results not deaths and hospitalizations. Hospitals are filling up because so many people are now catching up with procedures that they have put off. Positive results are spiking because we have increased the rate of testing and because people that have been quarantined for months are now interacting and are being exposed. It does not mean they are dying. Covid is now being used as a political weapon and we are the sheep. Once again facts are silly things. Shut up and wear your mask.
And we need to respect him for clinging to his own party. This cat is a damorat registered as a republican. Wish republicans would stick together.
Nothing but a numbers scam.
Ocean City will take care of this decline by continuing to ignore health and safety guidelines. By August 14 Maryland will be rolling back. Thanks OC businesses and leadership!
Cases do not mean sickness.
Just like someone died in car accident. They listed that on the covid 19 list. Keep drinking the Kool aid.
