Marylanders — Why aren’t you mad as hell at Governor Hogan?

Like we correctly predicted he would in 2018, btw.

Simply 2 stupid statements. Your statements are what this long standing Democrat is beginning to vote Republican at the state and local level in Maryland. Hogan has generally been good on the current crisis. And blaming him for the economic effects here shows a lack of intelligence if not more.

?

"We have to re-open everything lest we destroy the economy!" is the current Republican talking point - Hogan excepted.

New poster, also a lifelong Democrat. Hogan is doing a great job and I'm so relieved that he's not showing the Republican streak of science-denial. He's been acting to preserve lives. I know he's in his second term now, but I'd vote for him if an election were held today.

+1 I've never been a fan of Hogan, but I feel like he's done a wonderful job during this crisis!

Huh?

Why the Hogan hate? I don't even like him and think he is doing a good job.

I’m worried about today’s presser. I think he has to move to Stay at Home. People are still moving around way too much.

Yeah, I’m waiting for it. The case numbers are spiking.

Deaths have flatlined at 4 for a few days now. If case numbers are spiking we'd be seeing more. But we aren't.

Check in with us in a few weeks. Right now the cases are few and resources are many. That’s all going to flip.

As part of my job I have to review all the state and county orders, and Hogan’s order on 3/19 is nearly identical to most of them that I have reviewed, he just didn’t call it a stay-in-place order. The main point of these orders is to shutdown essential businesses and the MD EO does that.

Maryland is one of the best in the country in terms of quarantining. We might be ok.

I strongly doubt it....

The Italian average from first symptom to death is just eight days. We are nearly two weeks into a shutdown. While the positive case numbers are rising they are also days old by that point. We're still not seeing spikes in hospitalization.

The hospitalization rate is far more important than the death rate. The real dangerous situation is when hospitals become too overwhelmed to deal with the volume of patients.

Count me In as another liberal Democrat who thinks Hogan's doing a good job.

Jesus you guys have you read the interpretative guidance Hogan provided along with his sham close businesses order? His definition of “essential businesses” is a total sham! My husbands job is not even remotely essential to keep society moving or fight covid. He works for a biotech firm. He’s working on a drug that doesn’t even exist yet, that is nowhere near being approved. But the CEO and higher ups are still making him come into the lab while their selfish asses sit at home safely telecommuting! Hogan’s interpretive guidance needs to be more narrowly drawn. It’s bs.

Read the links that refer to “interpretive guidance.” He’s pretending he’s shutting things down but he really isn’t because the definition of essential is so broad.

No. Read his interpretive guidance - the first one and then the ones on the following days. His definition of essential business is so broad that tons of non esssntial people are still being pressured by their employers to come into work even though they are not really essential.
