Maryland is ramping up enforcement of coronavirus restrictions ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday as the pandemic surges just as people usually gather with family and socialize in bars, Gov. Larry Hogan announced Monday.
In addition to family gatherings on the holiday itself, the night before Thanksgiving has become one of the biggest bar-hopping nights of the year as people return to their hometowns and catch up with old friends over drinks.
“I cannot emphasize how reckless that behavior would be this year,” the Republican governor said during a news conference in the State House rotunda in Annapolis.
Health officials already have advised people to celebrate Thanksgiving with their immediate households only, and Maryland’s bars and restaurants have a state-mandated 10 p.m. closing time.
“These important safety measures and public health orders are only effective if they are being followed and enforced,” Hogan said.
To that end, the Maryland State Police will send out “high visibility compliance units” to Bel Air, Towson, Salisbury, Silver Spring, Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood and Allegany County, which has experienced the worst infection rate in the state in recent weeks.
Extra state troopers also will be assigned to work with local police and health officials on education and enforcement of the pandemic restrictions, which also include capacity limits, physical distancing requirements and rules that patrons must be seated in order to be served. They will focus on all venues that host gatherings, such as bars, restaurants and banquet halls. The state also is expanding its 24-hour hotline for reporting violations, which can be reached via 833-979-2266 or Prevent.Covid@maryland.gov.

Maryland is more interested in isolating the American family (together for the celebration of Thanksgiving than the thugs and anti-american arse wipes who burnt the city and yelled Black Lives Matter
I’d tell the Chinese to go and ask about buying land in Chilili, that would solve the problem.
Maryland, especially in the counties near DC, Sheriffs are an anachronism compared to the police. I worked corrections briefly in Montgomery Co. MD, and the only Sheriff presence was that their deputies transported inmates.
I might have to take my wife to General Mass next month for possible critic operations. Hopefully, I do not get stop on the highways. We will get tested before we leave so we should have Covid negative paperwork with us.
Feels like I am sneaking into East Germany.
Im watching the nazi death squads on AHC tonight, amazing how this can easily happen
Marylanders, ignore your governor. He’s a horse’s ass.
Let’s not forget MC Chief Moose during the Washington Sniper episode.
Sad thing is, that is a plausible scenario.
They might be serving turkey dinner in one of those bars and...
...the coronavirus fuzz bust in.
Seriously, is this a thyroid problem or what? Reminds me of that weird goblin/walrus/ghost cartoon character called Schmoo from the 70s/80s.
FREEP that number and that address.
Heh, for sure. Pretty area, but just driving through there kinda gives me the creeps, like going through Tierra Amarilla does.
Land Grants are their own worlds, that’s for sure.
The new Prohibition Era.
Or how about the SP breaking into a house and killing everyone at the dinning table. They all were displaying weapons (dinner knives.)
I used to believe American cops and soldiers wouldn’t turn on their own people. Boy was I naive.

Sad to say I agree with you, but you’re certainly not alone. Countless people fail to understand a very basic fact, which is that people in law enforcement and the military are programmed to follow the ORDERS of their superiors and they will invariably do so. History has consistently confirmed this for thousands of years!
I did not see any virus in that video.

Easy target!
I did not either. In my search to find some evidence that was the only thing I could find. The info came today from my friend’s sister who still lives in Romania with mom. She talks to her sis every day. That is all that I know.

I certainly hope so.
