Why is Maryland "Trending Poorly" on covidexit?

[Anonymous]

It's not just beaches and bars though. For example there's a weekend long softball tournament taking place now in Savage Park (HoCo). 100s of people in close proximity (Set not 6+ feet) and not one mask in sight.

I really don't get how that's a good idea...But that's why I expect It's going to be waaayyy too long before we can go back to normal. People just don't care.

This doesn't seem good to me. Could someone tell me what we are doing in MD to make the trend go in the reverse direction?

Yup, HOgan knows its "Indoor Dining" at beach towns...just look at how the Covid infection rate has Quadrupled at MD beach towns ( data from NYT) :

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/maryland-coronavirus-cases.html

Makes NO SENSE you have to wear a mask outdoors now, but can take it off inside a restaurant around dozens of people and eat, talk loudly, laugh you ass off while you drink beers with your friends... dozens if not hundreds of people packed into a room with the A/C circulating all that exhaled Covid to everyone in the room

.

Any taking off a mask inside should not be allowed. No brainer. By definition, having your mask off to eat indoors means talking, chewling, laughing.... all for an hour or so with your mask off

Dine Outdoors only and CLOSE the Beach town Bars. Send inspectors. take away the license of violators...

You have to shut them down, even in NYC with the death rates they had, Cuomo had to shut 1,100 bars for paying lip service to the bar ban by doing the above.

Bowser announced dozens of DC restaurants and bars illegally operating on Friday

It all need to be shut by Gov/ Mayoral Order

Hogan needs to step up and close bars and indoor dining. I find it so frustrating that he did such a good job in the beginning but now seems to be focused on promoting himself rather than taking responsibility for making changes to fix our numbers. Seems to just be passing the responsibility down tot he counties.

And why the heck are they still running that "open Maryland" tourist ad? Hogan needs to act NOW to keep our numbers from climbing out of control. He's too concerned with making the Ocean City businesses happy and is going to screw up things for the rest of the state.

It’s always about ocean city for him. Always.

Yeah, clear that Hogan values Beer sales above universal Pre-K, literacy, and improving science and math

Gov Hogan is signalling to American kids: we want you to be a low paid waiter or bus boy,... not a NASA engineer... pass the Nachos

HS school students 2 years in row will have no senior year and No HS Graduation

Kids wont have Pre-K or KDG... all so people at the Beach could get drunk and eat their Pizza indoors, not outside

THAT is what our country's priorities are....

I had such high hopes that the end of the 2021 school year would be a much more normal one for the kids but now in serious doubt.

These counties have percent daily increases above the state daily increases. Given population (except Anne Arundel) have big impact on state number. Today's increase in case numbers are B Country - 141 + case, B City 143+, PG 123+. For small county, AA +89 cases. Been consistent the past few weeks, The likely more troubling issue are the demographics of some of counties are likely riskier populations - but have not searched that data.

Where do you find new cases, per day, by county?

Baltimore County 141/827,000 = 170 new cases per million per day

Baltimore city 143/620,000 = 230 new cases per million per day

PG 123/909,000 = 135 new cases per million per day


AA = 89/580,000= 153 new cases per million per day

MoCo = ??? / 1,000,000 = ???

As everyone can see if you open the New York Times data link: its the Beach towns, then the bar and wait staff takes it home to their bedroom communities and then it makes it into the nursing homes and meet packing/ chicken farms and military bases

Same is true in Texas and CA: biggest case spikes of 138 per 100,000 are in military base towns with bars ( Hello Norfolk , VA ) , then any kind of meet packing plant or Prison in the country and you are DEAD

I haven't been able to find that information on the MD Covid website. Just cumulative cases per county.

We should do all the things.

But most importantly we need to close indoor seating at restaurants and close the bars.

Tell him publicly where he can't hide and pretend we weren't demanding the Indoor Dining and Bars be closed:

That gives cases for the last week, by county, per 100,000.

If you want cases by day (average of 7 days) per 100,000 by county look here:

According to the chart of the above website www.globalpandemics.org, any county with more than 10 new cases per day per 100,000 is in the "orange" zone and stay at home orders are advised. Any county with more than 25 new cases per 100,000 per day is in the red zone, and stay at home orders are necessary.



Montgomery county with 8.4 new cases per 100,000 per day is better than many populous counties, but is hardly sitting pretty, BTW.

70% increase over the last 14 days. I guess we are a month out from another shutdown.

My guess is the Governor will try to wait for after labor day since he is so focused on OC.
