Va’s and Md’s numbers are up near a thousand new cases a day, BUT I would bet the geography points to those numbers being in and aroundvt hff e Beltway, as DC’s numbers track with Md and Va. Northam should allow less infected parts of t hff e state to open. But he won’t.
Governor Blackface and Commissioner Clown have changed how the testing data is collected/reported. Now, they’re reporting every test separately. Before, each person was counted once regardless of the number of tests that person received.
I don’t believe any of the data.
Take out deaths in nursing homes and see whats left, who was infected, and how
Probably not at beauty salons
You would win that bet.
In Maryland, the overwhelming majority of cases are in three counties and the City of Baltimore.
19,000 or 26,000.
Of the other 24 counties, seven of them have less than 100 cases. One has only five.
Yet, our tyrant governor has the entire state on complete lockdown and then when some patriots protest, lies on national TV. (if you consider CNN to be a national network) about the number of protesters.
He said there were a couple dozen. I was there. It was well over 200
Virginia to begin double-counting multiple positive coronavirus cases

At a press conference on Friday, State Health Commissioner Norman Oliver gave an example of a single patient being tested four times for COVID-19. “What we’re doing now is, we’re counting all four tests,” Oliver said.
Virginia this week will begin counting multiple positive coronavirus tests in the same patient as new individual cases of the disease, a policy decision likely to significantly drive up reported case numbers in a state that has been relatively spared the worst of the pandemic so far.
Reached via email on Monday morning, Joe Macenka, a spokesman for Virginia’s COVID-19 Joint Information Command, confirmed that each positive case of the disease would be counted as a new case altogether.
Macenka said that repeat positive cases “are counted as separate cases only if the tests occur on different days. If [a Virginia resident] tested Monday and Tuesday and both are positive, that’s two positives.”
That policy may serve to sharply drive up case numbers, which may in turn significantly delay the re-opening of the state. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has stated that the state will begin its first phase of re-opening only when state officials have logged 14 straight days of declining case numbers and hospitalizations. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/virginia-begin-double-counting-positive-coronavirus-cases#digital-diary
