Why do you also talk about density per km2, access to healthcare, and the fact that Sweden’s social safety net means that sick people actually stay home. You are not comparing apples to apples here. |
Anything hopefully today?? |
Bump |
Maryland (minus some counties) moving completely into Phase 2 stating Friday. Indoor dining (at 50% capacity)! Gyms opening at 50% the following Friday! |
USA 7-day average daily new cases and deaths at lowest level since early April. |
I saw in some areas of MoCo opened hair saloons, outdoor restaurants at their limited capacity but full to that brim. I feels like good old days.. each day more and more. |
Montgomery County Prepared To Move On To Phase 2 Of Reopening
Despite five new coronavirus-related deaths and 130 new cases, the county could move to Phase 2 of its reopening plan as early as next week. Montgomery County officials are prepared to move into Phase 2 of its reopening plan as early as next week, which would allow churches and fitness centers to reopen as well as allowing restaurants to begin to offer indoor dining. County executive Marc Elrich announced the plan on Wednesday but warned that many of the aspects of the next step of reopening is dependent on Gov. Larry Hogan to allow similar steps to be taken. Under the plan, indoor and outdoor gatherings will be expanded from 10 to 50 people and churches, fitness centers and restaurants would be limited to one person per every 200 square feet of space. |
Elrich made the announcement in anticipation of Hogan moving reopening efforts in similar directors, Elrich said. A detailed outline of what Phase 2 would look like is available on the county's website. Elrich said the dates for the county to move forward remains flexible but added that if coronavirus data continues to be "reasonable", the county will move ahead with its plan.
"If this is where the governor goes, this is where we are prepared to go," Elrich said Wednesday during his weekly media briefing. Elrich said that he also anticipates other Montgomery County communities to follow the lead of Bethesda, which has announced a "Bethesda Streetery" program in which city streets are closed to allow for restaurants to expand their outdoor dining options. As part of the plan, tables are spaced six feet apart with each table accommodating up to four people. |
Awesome! |
What is a “hair saloon?” Now, that is somewhere I want to go! ![]() |
Oh, I saw it when I posted it and I was just waiting for this comment.. hahaha.. I just love autocorrect. This is one of those good moments. I would assume the Hair Saloon if any would be a place where you would got to get a drink while they cut you so you would not have to look in the mirror looking stupid but had a chat with the bartender. Also getting drunk would help in case you would get a haircut that would be substandard. Lastly, we are half-way ready to get inside, bandanas and all.. hahahaha Get in, say Howdie Pardner and you are in business.. Yehaaaaaaa! Park you mechanical horses outside. |
So now my turn to ask.. ![]() |
