That's what I'm worried about- does that mean they aren't going to open any of the county pools at all this summer? Or more restrictions in the parks?

The county pools were open last summer in a limited capacity. They didn't have the public summer swim teams.

Right- but he wants LESS stuff open. And always seems to target things that affect kids and families for some reason.

Aren't there already more things open than there were in June of last year? Why on earth would we close more things as vaccinations ramp up? I really can't stand that fat lard of a dictator.

I am surprised this little tidbit is not making more news. It’s in his blog but I have not seen this reported in any news.

Elrich has weekly media briefings on Facebook Live. Usually Wednesdays at noon. I really hope this issue comes up and is clarified. Not at all hopeful.

Words cannot describe how much I loathe him, and the people who voted for him. I can't stand the nanny-state, goody two shoes type of people who wear double masks in their own cars or to walk their dogs and would happily comply with wrapping themselves in bubble wrap if Dear Leader told them to. Everyone is vuuuuuuulnerable, we need to be saaaaaaaafe.

Well hang on tight! He just declared he's running for reelection. God help us all.

But.... why? Isn't he over 70, overweight, and high risk? Shouldn't he just stay home?

Ugh. I just hope that not too many other candidates jump in this time and we can coalesce around one viable alternative. Although I have a feeling it might end up being Reimer, who comes across as pretty self serving, but at least he’s not Elrich.

I know we have a million Debbie Downers on DCUM, but let's get real people. Barring a variant that evades the vaccine, we are going to have a large amount of the population vaccinated and additional immunity from those recovered. The numbers are going to be very low this summer. Everybody around us and across the country is going to be relaxing considerably. Yes, some states opening 100% now are nuts, but when the numbers are down and most adults vaccinated, severe restrictions and closures won't stick. I don't know how in the world this statement of his can be serious compared to last summer with no vaccines. It's ludicrous.

It's just PR/damage control.

If Erlich said "we're optimistic about vaccine distribution so we plan on having everything open this summer." that gets small cheers now and by the time summer has rolled around if we are in good shape to have everything open nobody cares because it's business as usual but if things don't improve and everything shuts down people lose their shit.

By saying "we might have to close everything down for another summer," he gets a few boos now but if that's true by the time summer rolls around it's old news but if he gets to say "we're doing better than expected so everything's open" all of a sudden people who weren't expecting to have a summer now all of a sudden have one and everyone loves him for it.

I'm a research scientist in virology and related fields, and yes, Elrich is being guided by the best scientific advisers: our brain trust at NIH. We're a lot more cautious than the CDC, which is continually pressured to be as pro-opening as possible on all sides.

Can’t let that 15 minutes go.

Don’t worry - Elrich will take pride in being the only county left in the US still shut down.

I really think that is his goal- to be the best in something. Shutdowns FTW!

Related fields poster, how does it feel to know people always mock you?

I am at a loss trying to understand his rationale and the point he is trying to make here. So, on one hand he says we are going to lean into outdoor activities because evidence shows higher rates of transmission inside, ok I’m with you there. But what exactly are these indoor summer related activities he’s proposing to open more slowly or restrict. Is he just trying to come for the pools again, which only opened for more than lap swimming last summer because the council stepped in? If so, that is ludicrous. What is the science that suggests outdoor pools were vectors for covid spread? Yes, kids play together at pools but guess what, the kids will be gathering together indoors to attend school in a week and attending camps together in the summer.

The latest stupidity of Elrich: We were at Cabin John Regional Park today with our 4yo, having a great time. She needed to go to the bathroom and, because of Elrich and Gayles’ stupidity, we had to leave the park because the bathrooms were locked.

What the hell is the point of opening the parks if you’re going to keep the bathrooms locked?

Just squat and go in the woods! That’s what everyone is doing. They’re worried about confined spaces in bathrooms and poop fumes I think.

Elrich is the worst. When can we get rid of this idiot?
