No! I posted an excerpt from the WTOP article where Hogan said that if metrics continue into next week, we will be in a position to enter Phase 2. |

Again, look at this:
https://open.maryland.gov/backtobusiness/ It says nothing about phase 2. |
| Who is the weirdo taking over this thread with a page of random links? |
You mean posting proof of what stage we’re in? I’m sorry the Twitter links didn’t work. I provided alternatives, including the MD site for reopening guidance. |
| From my understanding, Hogan has more than one gate within a phase. Maryland was in Phase 1a and is moving into Phase 1b tomorrow. Phase 1b is pretty similar to everyone else's straight up Phase 1. If, after a week of Phase 1b, trends continue in the right direction, Maryland will start to enter Phase 2. Maryland is NOT entering Phase 2 tomorrow. |
Thank you. Yes. This is what is happening. Phase 2 MIGHT be next week sometime, if metrics stay in a good place. |
Google germ theory.... |
Links dont' work for me either, and I'm an avid Twitter user so I'm logged in and all that. |
I’m sorry. I provided alternatives. For reference, the first one was by Mike Rick from 5:16 last night. The second was from WBAL Baltimore from 5:15pm. I provided alternative links from news organizations and the reopening website itself. |
Ok that makes sense. Now, which phase will MoCo enter on Monday? 1a or 1b? Other parts of MD started 1a two weeks ago, and playgrounds were open (with social distancing rules in place). But as I read MoCo's site, playgrounds are _not_ included? https://www2.montgomerycountymd.gov/mcgportalapps/Press_Detail.aspx?Item_ID=25367 Meanwhile, MoCo's site says restaurants outdoor seating is allowed, whihc other MD counties did NOT allow until 1b. This is confusing. Is MoCo just making up their own rules about what falls into each phase? |
Sorry, stupid autocorrect — Mike Ricci. |
Yes, MoCo makes its own rules. They’re taking basically 95% of what Hogan is having Maryland do (aka everything but pools, playgrounds, and indoor retail for small shops). |
| So much for me being a weird, odd poster who didn’t know what was going on. |
Ok I'll just chalk this up to typical Elrich bungling. I am fine with them going to each phase when they feel it's right, but at least they should do the same in each phase as the rest of the state. This just makes it confusing. |
| Are playgrounds just not enough of a money maker or something? Given the recent guidance about transmission from surfaces being low AND playgrounds being located outside, it’s insane to me that they would still be closed while a a group of adults can play close contact basketball immediately adjacent to a closed playground. |
