You are exactly right where in the constitution does it say he can do anything of this nature

This is why my Grandfather and his brothers joined the service to stop this from ever happening at home!

China has weaponized this virus it got loose by accident and the DR who knows this was killed and unfortunately he knew how to stop it
The problem isn't St. Mary's and Calvert, it's the higher density areas, as Hogan said, the DMV regend. Not SoMD region.
Baltimore.
So contrary to what the MSM reports as the trumpet the increase in new cases... real facts matter
It was reported last week that the RATE of increases in new cases had hit zero - that equates to acceleration (feet per second squared).
The number was still increasing, but was flat - that is the velocity (feet per minute)
Currently the acceleration curve has changed from flat to sloping down. The number of days that it takes to double the count has gone from one, to two, etc. and may be at 7 or 8 today. Yes, new cases are being reported.
Also the virus takes up to two weeks to show symptoms. A two week PAUSE would in effect halt the spread, even though new cases would be reported.
But we do not live in a laboratory. We need vital services to continue. Humans have to have some limited low risk contact.
Movement into and out of hotpots should have stopped - Trump was slammed for suggesting doing that to NYC / NJ metro area.
Likewise his early order to block travel to/from China - the WHO fought that and so did Europe. Why is NYC hit so hard, ask our friends in Europe who let travelers from China to pass through without reporting point of origin.
Politics has played a role. It's played a role in the spread of both the virus and hysteria.
People are actually happy the economy has collapse and that this virus has occurred - it's fodder for their campaign.
I think there are some who hope Biden dies and they can replace him with a hand picked media star.
So has anyonee heard how our local Sheriff's departments plan to enforce the stay at home order?

Actually, I can see how Lowes would be "essential". There are any number of things that could go wrong with your home that would require an emergency visit to Lowes/Home Depot/Ace Hardware....The problem is, people are taking advantage of the opening, due to boredom, no doubt. As long as the doors are open, people will shop. Our local Lowes is being slammed...

That said, I'm guilty. I was in Lowes last weekend for non-essential shopping. They had not yet started limiting the number of customers they were allowing in the store.
I'm now going to give the personal shopper thing a go...filling out my grocery list, submitting for processing today.
Boy, how would you like to be them right now?

To reiterate a point made by many smart scientists and doctors: the issue is that sick people fill up hospital ICUs.
Right now Maryland state data shows that about 25% of confirmed cases end up hospitalized (as of yesterday, 1413 confirmed cases, 353 hospitalizations; that percentage has held steady since MD started reporting those numbers last week). Most of those hospitalizations require a couple weeks in the ICU.
Maryland currently has 8,000 hospital beds state-wide. At 25%, about 32,000 COVID-19 cases will fill the beds. At the CURRENT rate of increase in cases, we'll hit 50,000 cases by approximately April 10th. At that point, or within a few days on either side of it, every single hospital bed in Maryland will be full.
At that point there won't be any more beds left for ANYONE. If anyone gets in a car crash or has a heart attack or stroke or falls and breaks a leg, what will they have to do? It's not just about how many people get sick from COVID-19, it's about the impact on health care for EVERYONE.
And at that point, every new COVID-19 case has about a 25% chance of not getting a hospital bed. So if you get it, there's a very large chance you'll just get stuck in a hallway and die without proper treatment. That's what is happening in Italy and other places. They're forced to let some people die because there's no ventilator available.
How do those odds sound? This suddenly makes it entirely reasonable to tell people to hunker down and wait this thing out.

Something must be wrong, I went out this morning and there were quite a few cars on the road and quite a few people in Walmart, BJs, Harris Teeter, and Lowes and not a single jack boot thug roughed me up or asked for my papers.
I just got a phone call telling me the same thing.

Nothing is going to change as far as people shopping and stuff. I will go to Lowe's this afternoon, pick up more material for my garage project and it will be a madhouse in the H&G area and paint desk with Harry Homeowners and a bunch of Karens looking for a manager.
What do you suppose the next step will be?
A 1-800 number Tattle-Line.

Contractors having to show a copy of their MHIC to get service at the paint desk and L/G.
I'm sure this is an interpretation of yesterday's edicts from MT. Annapolis:
Do you REALLY need that?
No lie, 12 trucks in line for mulch and 15-20 deep at the registers with another 10 or so at the paint desk yesterday. If I was going to mulch around my house, I'm calling a local nursery and paying someone to load then unload that stuff. #ShopLocalSupportLocal
