Have you been hiding in your home? Plenty of people in the county have been out all along, and I'm not talking about essential workers. Meanwhile my octogenarian parents really will be stuck in their home for years. On the other hand, at least they're alive, unlike 531 county residents so far. But hey, we gotta move on!
My parents are also stuck at home, and my mom is particularly high risk thanks to the form of blood cancer she has. It's awful.
*and at the same time* we're not sacrificing our children's mental health by keeping them inside and away from every other human being anymore. This level of stress isn't great for their short-term and possibly long-term health. Moreover, there are many, many children in real danger due to the severity of the restrictions we've been under.
So, no, the pandemic isn't over. It won't be for a very long time. It's horrible in many ways for many people, but "stay at home" literally cannot continue indefinitely for myriad reasons.
Please do not visit your parents in person if that is your attitude and practice. People need to realize that if they take the risk to go out more, they need to choose not to see elderly people or people with underlying conditions.

There was no need to do that during the stay-at-home order. You were allowed to go outside. All of the park trails have been overrun with people. All of the bike stores are sold out of bikes.

I do wonder if hair salons are going to do "no blow dry". I'd be much more likely to go in if they aren't going to be blowing other people's air into my face with the blowdryers going.
I guess libraries are not included in Phase 1?
Podiatrist offices regularly trim toenails for those that can't. There are medical alternatives to pedicures.

Anyone know what this means? Can you get your hair colored/highlighted?
I don't think so. They don't want people lingering in salons. Get your cut and move on.
Who’s going to be standing around to police this? If you’re going into a salon you might as well get the service you need.

Good! Children are on top of each other there and you can't have them wear masks. If anything, playgrounds should remain closed as long as possible.
You realize MD doesn’t mandate that preschools keep their playgrounds closed, right? My kid plays on a playground every day at her preschool.

I do not understand people whining about staying home? It isn’t ideal but omg in the grand scheme of things it isn’t that difficult. It isn’t like you’re fighting a war or being physically tortured. People are such whiners. I understand the stress of losing your job but the PP complaining above about her kids is crazy. Your kids will be fine. They’ll learn resiliency.
Or maybe she’s crazy and driving her kids insane?

Any idea when pools are opening?
That and gyms are the only things I care about. I’m staying away from restaurants and I can do my own nails.
