State health officials want Marylanders to wear masks as part of a new social media campaign. In April, Governor Larry Hogan required masks be worn by people while on public transportation and inside retail outlets. WBAL reports that while restrictions have recently eased, face coverings are still strongly suggested. The Maryland Department of Health launched a new motto, "Masks on Maryland!" and it has its own hashtag and social media launch. Officials hope wearing masks becomes a way of life during the coronavirus pandemic. The new face-covering campaign comes at the same time as new data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center released timelines for each state of social distancing and reopening policies as compared to trends in new COVID-19 cases and deaths. With a mask requirement issued in mid-April, Maryland is squashing the curve. Other states, like Florida, which did not mandate face masks, are currently in a spike. Dr. Cliff Mitchell is with the Maryland Department of Health…

To the mask wearers, when in an airplane that is crashing place your head between you legs to remain safe. Because this is what you are told to do to keep you safe

So you don’t wear a mask out in public Jim?

Cool Dan. Why wear a mask other than it might save your life.

> Dan I happen to agree. I also would burn all fines and lie to the law about your name and give out a fake address. Every looter had a thing in common. They wore a Mask and that is over 90 percent who wore a facemask while looting. People have become so stupid that Masks wearings are harmless but many find a economic opportunity at this time and that is looting while in a Mask. Few will be prosecuted in a Facemask but not all.

Joe, why would you “burn all fines” (I don’t know what that means), lie to the law about your name and give out a fake address? It’s easy enough for the authorities to find out who you are if you are arrested.

Screw both of you, do what’s recommended it might save your ass

Many of these looters all wore a Mask. Some crime victims have been harmed by those in a mask. Facemasks are good if you want to commit a crime.
June 29, 2020 at 12:46 pm, Jay said:
But they’re not good if you want to avoid getting sick? And BTW, many bank robbers and those who commit other crimes wear masks. You don’t have to have a pandemic in order to wear a mask.

> Yes Jay because so many idiots of America are buying the mask scam. Many banks have simply refused to reopen the lobby. When making an appointment a Mask is not allowed. Face Mask are nothing but Trouble.

Of people who aren’t sick who wear a mask mainly are lawbreakers and/or want to start trouble. How to stay not collapse in the heat during the summer is too not wear a mask. If sick and it’s hot outside then best answer is too be in a Air conditioned vehicle or stay home. If people are too scare of being outside in the fine fresh air then stay home. Let people go out and breath in that fine fresh air. So stop telling everyone to wear a mask and that Public Service announcement is full of crap and errors.

WOW, the ignorance expressed by the anti-mask commentators here is stunning. Let’s all hope this virus does it’s Darwinian best at thinning out the Neanderthals around here before the harm too many innocent & cognitive folks!!

> That will be all the idiots who are wearing Face masks when the heat decides to give many heat exhaustion and collapsed lungs. Yes Mark the real air is great. Stop wearing a Mask. It makes some lose their minds.

Mark,shame on you. You evidently have the intelligence and cognitive ability to form and project a competent thought and point of view, so you should not pick on the less fortunate ones. You need to realize it is a waste on your time to try and analyze the senseless babble and endless ramblings of the “walking dead”. Those who unwittingly regurgitate the indefensible,non-factual, moronic position of their overlord, TRAITORTRUMP, who cares not for anyone other than his own,(maybe). DIVISION IS NOT LEADERSHIP. IT IS DESTRUCTION !!! (destruction– the action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exits or cannot be repaired)

The article has a valuable content, which has helped me a lot in understanding MD Health Officials Promote “Masks on Maryland”.
