		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT NEWS ANALYSIS Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has a plan to re-open the state’s economy in a safe, staged fashion while coping with the COVID-19 pandemic but the numbers—rising infections, deaths and miniscule testing rates in the state—are getting in the way. And while most of the state’s virus testing, hospital expansion and emergency steps have focused on the Baltimore area and Washington suburbs, there is a growing threat on the Eastern Shore that has not been addressed. Unless the state steps up its attention to the rising virus problems on the Eastern Shore, we will be left to wonder if that famous New York Post headline of many years ago might be revived and modified to assert: “Hogan to Shore: Drop Dead.” On Tuesday (4/28/2020), the Cecil County Health Department reported, as it had a day earlier, that the local death toll from the virus stood at 8 people and provided an updated count of 165 residents testing positive for the virus. The state report issued Tuesday still did not update the fatalities for Cecil County and listed the 6 deaths from an earlier report. However, the 8 fatalities reported locally made Cecil County the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The COVID-19 virus pandemic escalated its destructive path on Thursday (4/2/2020) as the Maryland death toll doubled in two days and out-of-work state and local residents filed massive new claims for unemployment benefits. The state Health Department posted new figures on the number of confirmed cases Thursday morning, showing 2,331 Marylanders have tested positive for the virus and 36 people have died. On Tuesday, the death toll stood at 18, with 1,660 confirmed cases. The number of confirmed cases will no doubt rise significantly as the state, which was late to launch widescale testing, began drive-through testing programs on Wednesday at three Motor Vehicle emissions sites and FedEx field in Prince George’s County. In Cecil County, which recorded its first fatality linked to the virus earlier this week, county health officials reported early Thursday afternoon that the number of confirmed cases of the virus stood at 23. The state Health Department’s report, posted several hours earlier, listed Cecil’s figure as 20 cases. The statewide report generally lags local county figures by a day or more. Meanwhile, 84,230 Marylanders filed new unemployment claims last week, according to numbers released Thursday by Maryland’s Department of Labor&#8211; almost double the number of people [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CECILTON—In just the first month of the new year, there have been nine fatal drug overdoses in Cecil County, amid concerns that new strains of deadly fentanyl is being mixed with heroin to create a serious new threat, Sheriff Scott Adams told a community “town hall” meeting in Cecilton Wednesday evening. (2/1/2017) “We’re really concerned about fentanyl,” Adams told a packed meeting room at the Parklands apartment complex in Cecilton. “That’s what’s spiked these fatalities.” Later, Adams told Cecil Times that officials were still awaiting toxicology reports to confirm the specific causes of the local deaths. But the suddenness of the fatality spike, in addition to sudden surges in other counties such as Carroll and Harford counties, suggest that new strains of heroin or related drugs have hit the streets. In January, there were a total of 58 drug overdoses in the county, which resulted in 9 deaths, Adams said. Other overdoses were reversed through administration of Narcan, a nasal mist that can revive drug abusers and prevent death. All emergency responders in the county have been trained to administer the drug and community groups, business owners and families of addicts have been trained and given supplies of Narcan to [&#8230;]]]></description>
