Maryland’s New Covid Restrictions Target Holiday Gatherings
Washingtonian ^ | December 18, 2020 | Luke Mullins

Posted on 12/18/2020 5:14:43 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

With the holidays approaching, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has announced new efforts to combat the spread of Covid.

The state’s health department issued an advisory Thursday urging residents to limit holiday gatherings to no more than ten people, down from 25.

In addition, Hogan issued an emergency order banning non-essential travel in Maryland and establishing new requirements for those who do cross the state’s borders. Under the terms of the order, anyone traveling to Maryland from another state must self-quarantine for ten days or get a negative Covid test. (This requirement does not apply if traveling from DC, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia.)

“This holiday season could present perhaps our toughest challenge yet,” Hogan said in a press release. “Our message today is simple: you are safer at home for the holidays this year. Making difficult sacrifices during these next few weeks will absolutely help to keep your family, loved ones, and your fellow Marylanders safe.”

And how does Lockdown Larry determine if I’m telling the truth or lying if I say I self-quarantined for ten days? I’ll sneak in via WV and see if my hometown popo snags me..........fat bastard.

I ask the governors of several states:. How do you think this ‘Rona ends? With a whimper or a bang? Your choice.

When do we drag these scumbags out in the street and show them how we feel about them

Oh, and enjoy your road trip. I’ll be in Allegany County Jan. 7-11, assuming that my Alabama tags don’t attract the attention of one of Larry’s Volkspolizei.

The order (NOT law) excludes travel to any adjacent State.

PA, DE, VA, WV...all fair game.

Moot for me.

We all have COVID. Our son and a cousin living with my mom puts us in official quarantine until at least Christmas Day.

At least this negates our ever-present issue of whether to meet with our in laws down the street. COVID or not that isn’t so fun.

The way it has been debilitating, I’m not counting on feel8ng like it.

It’s sick the people of MD put up with this. I guess there are no real men left.

No it doesn’t. If you believe that, you probably believed “15 days to flatten the curve” would be 15 days.

first lockdowns are useless to stop the spread of a virus. That said the vaccine is the only thing i have seen that has a chance of getting the politicians to drop the insanity. It will be hard for them to keep the drumbeat as the incidence falls abs they will have to move on to something else
