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

[Anonymous]

As of now, even though Virginia has more diagnosed cases of COVID-19 (67 vs. 60), Maryland has a 25% higher infection rate than Virginia because its population is so much smaller. For all Hogan's talk, it doesn't seem like he's doing a particularly good job managing the spread.

You are crazy. Virginia still has open restaurants! You have zero clue the actual rate, everyone is failing at testing because Trump wouldn't let tests be made when they should be.

I think he's doing an excellent job. He closed schools before VA did. He closed bars/restaurants before VA did. He's giving clear, daily updates on the situation and answering questions. It's not his fault that the feds have not provided sufficient testing resources.

Logic not your strong suit, eh? You do realize people getting diagnosed now doesn't mean the spread is happening right this minute... it's entirely possible people were exposed to the virus weeks ago.

Let me guess. Trump supporter who thought this was a "Dem hoax" until last week.

Agree. Not a Hogan fan generally, but he's doing a good job. The fact that we haven't been able to test is not on him.

Hogan is doing a great job.

Signed a committed liberal democrat who wishes Hogan ran against Trump in the Republican primary.

Hogan is doing a great job. I’m seeing people post he should run for President.

I’m very happy with Hogan’s actions so far. Not sure what the hell you’re rambling about, OP.

[Anonymous]

I did not vote for him but I have been pleased with his leadership and response during this time.

Northam, on the other hand...wow. Still hasn’t shut down restaurants?! Even though local officials want it? Buffoonery.

Here's MD's webpage about it:

I think it's clear and fact-based. Good job by MD gov't on this one.

Why is someone trying to get us all to be mad at our governors?

Nice try at attacking one of he nation’s best governors.

Hey, VA, you've got people who have died from this. Focus on your own issues.

Right? There's the same thread posted about Northam. Weird.

FWIW, I'm not mad at either because I think both are trying to do the best they can with the limited information available, as they try to consider how to best balance public health and economic livelihood considerations. God knows I wouldn't want to be in their shoes right now.
