It looks like Montgomery county is going to take a page out of Baltimore County and (partially) shut everything down again. https://www.mocoshow.com/blog/montgomery-county-marc-elrich-sends-new-proposed-covid-restrictions-to-county-council-for-approval/?fbclid=IwAR3s5YfrpMakElabT-s3TMK9VuQKB7BmF5Vif8ocvlaYmg3KJji_uKBMsks
More Covid restrictions coming soon. |

| Is this really going to do anything though? Or will people just travel to other places to do their business? I've kind of given up on people dealing with any additional restrictions. They don't seem to be stopping people at all. |
Sorry. I can’t ever get his name right. |
I believe indoor dining is considered highly risky, so this does make sense. The county is pretty good at enforcement too. |
|
Proposes prohibiting indoor dining...
YA THINK!!!? |
Let them travel then and not spread it in our area. |
|
Good. Shut it ALL down. Close EVERYTHING. All stores. All businesses. All parks. Everything.
Totally support him. |
| Elrich’s leadership is abominable. There are very clear differences in zip codes in cases. So instead of targeting areas where concentrated help and education is needed, his solution is to close the doors of Montgomery County and walk away. A strategy takes intelligence and work. I can’t believe people voted for this moron. |
Right, so close restaurants in Wheaton but not Bethesda? That makes no sense. I'm all for closing indoor dining. I've been ordering takeout all along but haven't eaten inside a restaurant since February. |
Omg, no that’s not at all what I meant, smh. When you have large differences in case numbers in zip codes, Bethesda has 647 cumulative cases since Covid began, but Aspen Hill/Layhill has 3,850 cases, there is a reason for the difference. And it’s not indoor dining. Targeted public health campaigns, dear, is what is needed. Obviously you do not work in the retail or restaurant industry, so the loss of jobs and overall economic effects not really your concern right? Just shut em down and fire everyone except the restaurants you order take out from. |
For example? Also, where do the people who work in Bethesda restaurants live? |
Parks? Why parks? |
That’s absurd. |
Because people gather in parks, and that spreads covid. You don’t need to go for a walk. Stay in your damn house. If people did that when this started, we wouldn’t be in this mess now. I’ve left my home maybe -MAYBE- two dozen times since April. I resupply every 2-3 weeks. Beyond that, I stay inside. It’s not difficult. If I can do it, anyone can. |
