		<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[NEWS ANALYSIS Maryland marked a milestone in the spread of the COVID-19 virus on Wednesday (4/15/2020) with 10,032 confirmed cases in the state, and Cecil County’s count reached 102 cases. But Gov. Larry Hogan, while ordering all shoppers and store workers to wear facemasks and predicting that the state is still weeks away from a “peak” of infections, said he was working on plans to re-open businesses in the state. It was a remarkable mixed-message performance by Hogan, speaking at an afternoon press conference in Annapolis, and highlighted his dual roles as Maryland’s governor, presiding over a still escalating local health crisis, and his position as chairman of the National Governors Association. In the latter capacity, Hogan said he and other governors would speak with President Trump in a teleconference call on Thursday, at which the topic would be re-opening the states’ businesses. President Trump declared this week that he alone had the authority to order re-opening of businesses across the nation and to over-ride governors’ shut down orders. But after widespread criticism from health officials, governors and Constitutional authorities, Trump partially backed down to say he would consult with governors on their local situations, although he wanted at least [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A sudden onslaught of COVID-19 cases at Calvert Manor nursing home in Rising Sun, with patients and staff testing positive for the virus, prompted emergency steps Saturday to bring in a special state medical “strike force,” including the National Guard. And new zip code data released Sunday by the state show Elkton and Rising Sun are the prime locations of confirmed infections in Cecil County. As of Sunday morning, there were 82 confirmed cases of the virus in the county, including one fatality. The numbers of confirmed cases have grown exponentially in recent days, from 17 cases reported by the local health agency on Wednesday 4/1/2020 to the 82 cases reported on Sunday 4/12/2020. As of Saturday afternoon, there were no known cases at other nursing homes in the county but local health officials admitted that they lacked sufficient testing supplies to verify virus status at other facilities. In Cecil County, the new state reporting of cases by zip codes showed Elkton with 37 cases and Rising Sun with 14 cases. That report totaled just 51 cases, or far less than the 82 confirmed cases reported by health officials so far in the county. The maps showed no cases in [&#8230;]]]></description>
