Coronavirus update: Bowser, Hogan say no ‘artificial deadline’ on lifting restrictions

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan were both on national TV Sunday morning discussing racial disparities in COVID-19 cases and the prospect of economic life returning to normal.

He spoke as more data confirmed the disparate impact of the pandemic on black and Hispanic communities.
“This disparity among African-Americans is very disturbing,” Hogan said. It had been hard to track because the CDC and federal laboratories weren’t tracking results on race. He said Maryland now has racial data on about 80% of cases.
He said his administration would use the ZIP code data to focus resources. “Almost all of our focus” has been on the corridor between Baltimore and D.C., including Prince George’s County and Montgomery County, Hogan said, adding that he’s told the federal government that the area is an emerging hotspot.
The governor was asked to react to President Donald Trump’s statement Friday that “We’re in great shape … we’re getting very few calls from governors or anyone else needing anything.”
Hogan, the chairman of the National Governors Association, responded that he had held 12 calls with the nation’s governors, eight of which Trump or Vice President Mike Pence sat in on. While “We’ve certainly seen an improvement over the past week from the week before” and “everyone has gotten more supplies,” Hogan said, Trump’s assertion is “not quite accurate. Everyone still has tremendous needs on personal protective equipment.”
