It says so on Page 28 of MD’s recovery plan: https://governor.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MD_Strong.pdf

So that means MoCo will have no pools open outside of lap swimming this year, libraries won’t open until there’s a vaccine, etc.

Not true. Pools in other parts of the state are open now.

There will be tens of thousands of new cases in the next couple weeks to come, assuming we weren’t being lied to the whole time about how contagious COVID is.

We need to go back to SAH/Shelter In Place immediately

I agree, but actually Elrich made clear in his last announcement that we are still under a stay at home order.

Except that we're not. Read his executive order. There's no stay-at-home order in it anymore.

Then he should stop putting it in his emails!!!! Are he and his staff just that stupid? I don’t have time to read every executive order, but I read his email updates.

Yes, apparently they are that stupid. The executive orders aren't that long. Read Executive Order 070-20 (link) and let me know if you see a stay-at-home order section. (hint: you won't find one)

Compare that to the earlier county executive order, Number 067-20. There you will see the stay-at-home order on page 2.

Simply put, the county's June 1st executive order lifted the stay-at-home order, while obviously leaving other restrictions in place (mostly related to opening/closing businesses).

You realize it’s ridiculous to have to cross-check the updates with the executive orders, right?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I do think it is quite unfortunate that we can't trust the county executive to accurately summarize his own executive orders.

In this case it’s more than simply a failure to summarize, it’s a blatant contradiction.

He says he is “largely mirroring” what Hogan is doing, but it’s not true.

I think is because he is a control freak, and because he dislikes Hogan so wants to be seen to be doing something different.

I agree. It’s really irritating, and as a resident it makes me distrust him. And he seems to be prioritizing indoor activities- what is the reason for allowing 50% capacity inside restaurants and reopening of indoor gyms, but still limiting outdoor pools to lap swimming? And why are playgrounds phase 2 (vs. pre-phase 1 for the state).
