Ugh.

There's plenty that's open in Montgomery County right now - and has been open all along. You might have to wait a bit longer to get your nails done or your hair cut.

The point is that the longer they don't go officially into phase 1 the longer it will be until childcare, camps and pools open. Which is what I am waiting for.

Camps are not going to open.

Why? They’re opening in CT.

Well, ok, but they're not opening in Montgomery County. Montgomery Parks and Montgomery Rec have both canceled all of their summer camps.

Makes no sense. CT has more deaths per capita than MD.

There are many many camps in moco that are private and not run by the cities or county. Many of them have not closed and are waiting for permission to run.

The 3,339 deaths in CT, none for people 29 and under. 20 people in 30-39 group died, and the vast majority of deaths is people 60+.

Summer camps are pretty much all young people.

Yeah, same stats for MD. 88% of our deaths are in those 60+.

Yeah. Never opening. The disaster will always be “in two weeks” based on models that have never once been remotely correct.

If they wait for this virus to go away on its own or decrease it won’t. There needs to be a vax and that’s not for a long tome. This is NOT sustainable living and we need to learn how to function and live with it. This is becoming ridiculous. We have to adjust to the new normal like it or not!

No, they are not waiting for a vaccine. No one is. States, counties -- and other countries -- are reopening by the number of new cases. We all know that.

Actually Hogan isn’t using that metric bc new cases will go up with testing.

I know the "in 2 weeks" thing is really infuriating.

That was my point

75%+ cases in MoCo are nursing home residents and staff. My solution:

quarantine the nursing homes and post MD national guard in front. No one in our out.
Pay the workers triple pay, and let them bring their families in too if they like. Set up trailers in the parking lot if more living space is needed for the families.
Fund all this by taking a portion of the sales tax revenue earned during this period, that would not have been earned if business remained closed instead.

— They want 5% testing capacity per month. That means doing an average of about 1,700 tests in MoCo per day. Statewide we are doing about 3,000 tests per day. No one knows how MoCo will get our testing capacity up to the point where we are doing 50% of what the entire state is doing.

— Amid all this increased testing, they want a 14-day decline in new cases.

— They want a 14-day decline—as calculated by rolling average—in deaths. We are now averaging 12.4 deaths per day. How can we attain a 14-day decline in a metric that is BELOW 14?

— They want a decline in hospitalizations, yet Gayles said last week that he doesn’t even know how many COVID patients we have in MoCo, and our hospitals haven’t been overwhelmed (with the exception of 2 Silver Spring ones).

That’s just 4 examples of the absurdity of these metrics.

Email your governor. I’m in Fairfax County and would love to see MoCo open since the region all seems to be following each other’s lead.

I strongly believe that emailing and calling local governors actually has zero effect and is just a waste of time. They do what they want-just like every other elected official.

Well, I’m pretty sure not emailing does not good.
