[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so demoralizing. My kids are finally back in school and day care after 11 months, now that the holiday spike is over. Yet we're at a higher baseline, arpund 13-14/100k, than we have been since last May. Only 10% of the population is fully vaccinated, and opening everything up to full capacity means cases can only go up from here. We really couldn't wait to vaccinate more people and reduce our baseline? I want my kids to stay in school and I don't want to get covid from them because everyone else is packing restaurants. [/quote]

But will they?  The restaurants still need to maintain the minimum distance between tables, so I still don't think many will be back to pre-covid levels.  Not sure what county you are in but MoCo, PG, and maybe even Howard are unlikely to go along with it.

I agree it would have been better to wait a few more weeks to make this move, but I'm not convinced its doomsday either.  Rates have been falling even in areas that have been pretty open already.[/quote]

Apparently, and I say this without reading the whole order, this action by Hogan also removed the abilities of the County execs to enact tighter measures than the state order. [/quote]

Wow. You're absolutely right.  The whole "local orders" provision expires on the 12th.

I wonder what this means for the other restrictions in MoCo orders. E.g., the mask provisions.[/quote]

Wow. Elrich is gonna be apoplectic. [/quote]

Are we sure that’s right? I haven’t seen anything in the news about that.[/quote]

ii. requiring individuals to remain indoors or to refrain from congregating.
