Virginia Governor Orders Residents to Stay Home Until June 10

Posted: 19 Apr 2020 12:14 PM PDT

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam on Monday issued an order to residents stay at home until June 10, part of expanded efforts to curtail the coronavirus pandemic that continues to spread across the country.

"I want to be clear: Do not go out unless you need to go out. This is very different than wanting to go out," the Democratic governor said in announcing the order.

Northam noted that "some of our beaches and other recreational areas were literally packed" over the weekend, and warned that, "everyone who is gathering in a crowd is putting themselves and others at risk."

The Virginia order goes into effect immediately and will remain in effect until June 10 unless the governor cancels it sooner. Violators can be punished by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Hours earlier, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced a similar "unprecedented" order, requiring residents to stay home except for essential trips such as grocery shopping or obtaining medical care. The order goes into effect at 8p.m. on Monday and will remain active until the state of emergency is over. Violators can be charged with a misdemeanor offense with penalties up to a year in jail or a $5,000 fine.

"We are no longer asking or suggesting that Marylanders stay home. We are directing them to do so," said Hogan, a Republican. "Every single Marylander can be a hero just by staying home."

New Yorker's Continue To Flock To Ocean City

Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT

Even though NY, NJ & PA are under a quarantine and NY coronavirus rates are through the roof many have come down to their secondary homes in Berlin and Ocean City. All law enforcement have to do is sit in local parking lots and START PROTECTING US. You know, "PROTECT AND SERVE". That is what our taxes are supposed to do. Police are not writing traffic citations and I'm sorry but I've seen just about enough of this locally. What are your thoughts on this matter?

Should we ALL start publishing pictures to show how out of control this is?

Every One Of You Should Be PISSED At Salisbury Mayor Jake Day and Chief Barbara Duncan

Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:17 AM PDT

They decided to go throughout Salisbury with a parade yesterday, No Masks, No Gloves, No Social Distancing as the photo clearly proves. 

They need to lead by example. Instead of blowing even more money on a stupid parade, this jackass should first be worried about the HEALTH and WELL BEING of ALL of the people working for the City. You lead by example and clearly this jackass is not following the Governors guidelines. Now I'll agree with some of the commenters on here, he's playing God. Jake doesn't know for a fact none of the people involved have the virus, are carriers or have been around someone who has it. 

Everyone is locked up in their homes and this Idiot is out playing look at me games. Go to Jake's Facebook page and watch the videos as well. He tells businesses you can't have but so many people in their stores and then he goes out and does this. 

As A Bar/Restaurant Owner In OC, I'm Not Opening If Hogan Says We Can Only Serve 50% Of Our Seating!

Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:17 AM PDT

Just think, I opened a new bar/restaurant at the old Alamo, busted our tails against all odds and created one of the coolest and most successful bar/restaurants in Ocean City. It was a major challenge but it was a ton of fun and people really have enjoyed the place.

Then came what is now known as coronavirus and all that positive momentum came to an immediate end. So what do we do Folks? Are we all in the same mind set that we've all had enough of this quarantine crap OR are we all still concerned this thing will continue to spread and harm people?

I guess the choice will be up to our customers BUT IF Governor Hogan says we can only serve 50% of our tables and even bar stool seating I'm NOT opening. My bartenders don't deserve to be cut off by 50% and as a business owner I don't deserve it as well. 

Where do you stand at this point, tell us your thoughts.

A Viewer Writes: COVID-19 & PRMC

Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:17 AM PDT

Joe, 

I thank you for letting me to tell my story. I am beyond p!ssed! This whole incident took place last evening at Peninsula Regional Medical Center's ER. I sincerely hope this gets the attention of the "important people" at the hospital (Steve, Snyder, Roger, Cindy, CB). 

Last night, I went to ER because I was having chest pain. I have never experienced chest pain before. I really thought I was having the big one. Frankly, it was terrifying. 

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, my wife wasn't allowed to come back with me to my new ER room. Instead of being able to have my wife for support, I had to send her home. She cried, and cried. We have never had to go through a health scare, and especially not alone. 

To be clear, I really do understand why the no visitor policy had to be implemented, and I totally respect what the hospital is doing to combat COVID-19. I believe the measures are necessary. 

As I was laying in my bed, I was "people watching" through my open door. I was in 203, and the room next to mine was 204. As I'm laying there, observing what's going on, I realize that 2 women kept coming in and out of 204. I then hear one of the two females say that she was there visiting/assisting her adult brother. No other patient in the entire ER was allowed to have visitors except the patient next to my room. 

I immediately questioned what I saw, and I complained to the charge nurse; she informed me that one of the females in the room was a PRMC employee. It appears that if you work for PRMC, you don't have to adhere to policies established by the hospital. We all know that these measures were put in place to reduce the risk of introducing the virus to the hospital's population.

Additionally, I watched the PRMC employee go in and out of her brother's room multiple times. On two occasions, she left the room, and went into the supply room to get things for her brother. She was only wearing gloves and mask. 

This sounds crazy, but on one occasion, she left her brother's room wearing blue gloves, she then went in the supply room with the same blue gloves, she then came out of the supply room wearing the same blue gloves, and finally, she went back in the room with the same blue gloves. She put the ER's highly controlled environment at risk by leaving the room of a sick person to retrieve items from the supply room. 

All these measures at PRMC are for NOTHING if they do not care that their employees make up their own rules, and essentially help spread infectious diseases. OR You might as well just revert to how things were before COVID-19.

What are the chances that he had a cough and fever?

Salisbury Mayor Jake Day Is Building A Tent City For The Homeless At Lake Street Park, (Coronavirus)

Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:16 AM PDT








On Friday the Mayor of Salisbury will announce and open a Caronavirus Tent City for the Homeless. Temporary fencing will ultimately quarantine these human beings yet one thing I can assure each ad every one of you, they are NOT following protocol.

One of the images shows a cleaning company working on the bath/restroom building. Believe it or not, there is not enough distance between urinals and toilets to assure there's social distancing now required at 13 feet apart. Even the people working there are not wearing masks and as you can see they are shoulder to shoulder once again.

You also have to wonder, will they only accept homeless that are willing to give up private information so Police Chief Duncan can do a background check?

Also, Taxpayers will be subjected to providing TWO meals a day in order to quarantine these people. Will they all be subjected to remaining within this fenced in area until the City decides all is clear? 

There are many unanswered questions and certainly it will become a pandemic area because they are not properly disinfecting and maintaining even minimal standards to keep this virus encapsulated just to this immediate area. I'll add, ALL food must be served with disposable products and served by hazmat type uniforms. ANYONE not following these strict guidelines will contract the coronavirus. 

More to come... 

UPDATE: The City is using hotel money to put up these tents instead of rooms. AMAZING how the City chose to put this right in the middle of the African American community. Wait till you hear about the 4 to 6 people who recently died at PRMC, all of which are from the African American community. This tent city will remain until the coronavirus pandemic is over. I was just told they'll let the homeless out of this tent city every day but they must all return by 5 PM every day. Very Stupid.
