Bread Lines Next? Maryland County Proposes Plan to Limit Grocery Shopping Trips Based on Last Names

A Maryland county is proposing assigning days that people are allowed to go to grocery and convenience stores based on what letter their last name begins with.

Calvert County’s voluntary plan would limit people’s shopping to once every five days.

The Hill reports that under the plan, A-C last names can shop on dates ending with 0 and 5, D-G names shop on dates ending with 1 and 6, H-L names go on dates ending with 2 and 7, M-R names can shop on dates ending with 3 and 8, and last names starting with S-Z shop on dates ending with 4 and 9.

The guidance was published by the Calvert County Health Department on Wednesday.

“We all want to get back to our normal lives as soon as possible. Our actions make a difference. Sustaining those actions are the key to lowering our risk of infection and lifting social restrictions. We can’t speed up time, but we can dramatically slow the spread of the virus,” the county said in their announcement.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has also ordered that anyone going into shops or using public transportation in Maryland will also be required to wear masks beginning on Saturday.

I get it. So those who's names end with A B and C can get infected together at the grocery store instead of getting infected with those who's names might start with other letters. If you live with with your gf with a different surname, she can get infected from a different group surname and bring it right back home. This is going to work beautifully. NOT. Who keeps coming up with these cute ideas anyways? The Soviet Politburo?

An old friend of mine living on Grand Cayman said they instituted something like this. Locked it down pretty tight, stopped all tourism.

But how will they know your name? Will they require you to show ID to get in the store?

I'll write it again: Leftists always -- always and in all ways -- overreach. And they will continue to do so with increasing frequency and with increasing scope until they are forced -- a carefully selected term -- to stop.

Too bad I’m in Howard, not Calvert.

My husband and I have our family names. So this works fine for us! LOL. (Same for my mom, with whom my cousin lives - different names!)

But seriously, this is the kind of thing I expect first from Monty Co. Both between its high&mighty liberalism, and its first/biggest victimhood.

Should base it on first names. If you have an apostrophe in your first name you can shop any day you want. If you have a Cracker name, you can only shop on the 31st of any month. Got to play to the party base.

No, you get to wear a huge scarlet letter on the front of your clothes or maybe like that county in Montana wanted: a pretty armband.

Yes.
But asking for an ID before you vote is of course racist and “voter suppression”. It's beautiful how the Dems can talk out of both sides of their mouth with a straight face.

These people have no brains what so ever.

A to C can all get infected, but do not infect those with D, leave it to the E’s to do that.

I love it.

Need a photo ID to buy toilet paper and potato chips, but not to vote.

If it's such a burden for people to get IDs to vote, how will those same people be allowed to shop? What will they do, bring a utility bill?

If they ask for ID then they are being racist based on their views about voting.

These people are idiots.
