Targeted campaigns include going into marginalized neighborhoods and handing out free masks, hand sanitizers, brochures in multiple languages that explain how COVID is spread.
Make testing easy, in church parking lots or community centers.  Many immigrants are afraid to go for testing due to fear of deportation or fear of hospitals since they do not have insurance.  Have local group meetings to explain to non-english speakers how to be safe.  These are known as public health campaigns that can reduce incidence.  Elrich has never once spoken about a strategy other than shuttering doors.  But he certainly made sure we could get tattoos, tans and made a special rule for outdoor live music.

The worst thing to do is to tell people they cannot work. They will hide COVID for fear of losing their job.  Unfortunately, armchair quarterbacks like you never see the bigger picture or need.

To answer your question, I do not know where all the people who work in Bethesda restaurants live. I have not conducted a census. But by your unassailable logic,[b] if all the COVID positive people from Aspen Hill are all working on the Bethesda restaurants, then there should be a very high rated of infection in Bethesda since there are about 180 restaurants.[/b]

No, the rates would be high in Aspen Hill, because that's where the people live who work in Bethesda restaurants.

Also, why do you assume that people in Aspen Hill don't wear masks and/or don't know how covid is spread?

Also, hey look:
