[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They went to the beach house prior to the stay at home order being in effect. No one else was there. If they had needed medical care, they would have come back to DC. It was like a 1.5 hour drive away. [/quote]

They were by Deale, which is about 40 minutes from the Beltway.  1.5 hours?  Yeah, I think you’re just making up facts.

Whether they went before or after the SAH order they should not have been there.  There are many reasons they should have been at home (they went OUT OF STATE, not pulling on the resources of that small area of Maryland for health care and food, could have brought the virus with them). There are many posts on DCUM and articles online about why people should not go to vacation homes now.  And here with have a new one: a person who was a real local, who lived there full time would have never ventured into a canoe with one paddle, a child and no life jackets to retrieve a ball.  A local would have appreciated the risk.  That day was so windy.  A local would have known the Bay, and either have let the ball go, brought life jackets, left the kid on shore, or even possibly jumped out of the canoe because it is likely she could have stood up even far from shore.  A local would have let someone on shore know they were going out, instead there was about 30 minutes until a call came in from strangers about the canoe.  BUT she wasn’t from there, she didn’t have that awareness.  And she took all kinds of Maryland resources to find her and her son.

I hate that this happened, and I don’t think this family or any family deserves to have this occur to them.  BUT there is a lesson to be learned here and we should all take a pause and realize that. [/quote]
