PhineasC Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 DE governor says no chance of getting to Phase I before June 1. As MD and VA start to open, DE digs in their heels. This is going to devastate the tourism industry at the beaches for many years. So many restaurants and bars will fold. 273 deaths so far with half of them in nursing homes... I guess this is all worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is all worth it. VA is opening partially... N VA will not open for another 2 weeks -- https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia-can-delay-reopening-through-at-least-may-28-governor-says/2300290/ Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has signed an executive order that allows Northern Virginia to delay reopening as the region grapples with an elevated number of coronavirus cases. Northern Virginia can wait until at least May 29 to reopen, the governor announced Tuesday morning. Northam expects the rest of the state to be able to gradually reopen this Friday, May 15, two weeks earlier. "While the data show Virginia as a whole is ready to slowly and deliberately ease some restrictions, it is too soon for Northern Virginia," he said in a statement. "I support the request from localities in this region to delay implementation of Phase One to protect public health.” Executive Order 62 allows the following areas to remain closed, as officials there requested: Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties; the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park; and the towns of Dumfries, Herndon, Leesburg and Vienna. The region has about 2.5 million residents, or about 30% of the state's population. The executive order extends the restrictions already in place. Restaurant service is limited to takeout and delivery. Theaters, gyms and salons will be closed. Essential businesses including grocery stores and pharmacies can remain open. Northern Virginia has been hit hard the the virus. In the past 24 hours, the region reported over 700 cases. The remainder of the state reported about 270. On average, about 70% of cases in the entire state occur in Northern Virginia, the governor’s office said. Northam said Northern Virginia could reopen even later than May 29, depending on how many people are sickened, hospitalized and killed by the virus.

Baltimorewx Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Had a nice little day in Cambridge today, just got back a half hour ago. Stopped at a couple of parks, went to RAR and not only got this great beer but got drunken tots (beer cheese, bacon, scallions, crab meat and sour cream) a steak and shrimp empanada and cannolis.

There are many, many stories out now of testing sites being so empty they shut down and municipalities offering free tests to anyone who wants one.

nw baltimore wx Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I’ve decided to organize a protest against the state reopening with a march on Annapolis Saturday. If you’re interested, we will meet at Annapolis Mall, and please sign up here. If you sign up, and if you want to make a statement that we are not ready to open, don’t show up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he should document where they are going -- especially since the same news report said that many nursing homes are having to buy their own tests from labs in order to get everyone tested per Hogan's order. Doesn't make much sense to me why Hogan doesn't use the 500k he was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah if you can pass that recipe along. I am 1/8 Greek and have been taking time to get into that part of the family that we did not grow up with. My grandmothers father was from Crete but her mom and dad divorced, yes scandalous in the 1910's and we really do not know anything about that side of the family. I am trying to do it through food.
