@Witchy Woman

Though we're well past the date of your original post, my granddaughter's school was closed by then (Portland, OR), all remain closed, and will not re-open. Though our morbidity and mortality rates are well below that of California and Washington, our ______ governor signed a binding "contract" to not independently move forward, until such time as Sir Newsome and what's his name in WA create a tri-state "contract" regarding the opening up of even the minutest of businesses and services, let alone schools. We are not holding our breath and I am feeling so incredibly bad for all of the lost businesses, which will never return here, as our economy in this state was not healthy anyway. Woe be unto us.

Coronavirus Latest: Gov. Larry Hogan Hopes To Lift ‘Stay At Home’ Order In May

Gov. Larry Hogan is hoping to lift the stay at home order sometime in May as long as the state’s number of coronavirus-related deaths and hospitalizations begin a downward trend. The governor said he and the state’s experts are looking for that downward trend over a period of 14 days to determine when it’ll be safe to reopen the state.

Every day I nervously check those stats on the MD Dept. of Health page. I have it bookmarked, along with Gov. Hogan's page.

So far, my zip code is still low (12 cases), and it is a fairly large area. However, Charles County continues to increase.

Thanks for flagging this. I do watch a lot of news, but frequently miss the Governor's announcements.
