Hogan press conference today at 5pm

I bet he implements more of Phase 2.

Elrich will continue to keep MoCo closed, even as our metrics continue to improve.

Elrich needs to open up. I hope Hogan will tell him what to do again today.

At minimum, he needs to expand the cap on social gatherings, especially outdoor gatherings. He already admitted that people are ignoring the cap, but it would be nice to not feel like an outlaw when having a few families over in the backyard.

People are clamoring for gyms to reopen. What do you think?

Oooh I hope he overrules Elrich to a medium degree. And as a lifelong active progressive Democrat, I never thought I would prefer a Republican on anything.

No MoCo decision on further re-opening until June 15 I read on the WaPo site earlier.

Seriously, that’s your concern? Why can’t you have just one family over at a time?

I also want him to lift more restrictions, but not because I can’t stand to not see my friend all at the same time.

Right. And yet no word on what the benchmarks are for that, what Phase 2 would mean for MoCo, etc.

Ridiculous.

The article said they are just putting a health advisory panel together? Seems a little late to the game.

LOL

What asshats.

Hopefully he will be announcing a retreat back to Phase Zero, because of all the people likely infected within the last 12 days of protesting.

There will be tens of thousands of new cases in the next couple weeks to come, assuming we weren’t being lied to the whole time about how contagious COVID is.

We need to go back to SAH/Shelter In Place immediately

Elrich just said that if data trends continue we “likely” will go to Phase 2 “some time” next week.

For more info on what that means, see here: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/HHS/RightNav/reopening/index.html

Of course, he didn’t specify if that would mean a full Phase 2 implementation of everything in the Phase 2 column, or just some of it.

I agree. I'm fine with MoCo delaying entering a phase, but at least tell us what's in each phase! How are they so inept at planning?

One of the councilmember (Friedson) asked the same thing the other day. Elrich is just bungling this up, as usual.

We have a big family, so a one family gathering puts us over 10.

Or even the rest of phase 1! What the hell is wrong with this guy. Can’t be coherent or transparent to save his life.
