Gov. Hogan: ‘It’s a Little Crazy To See the Kinds of Crowds at the Cherry Blossoms’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: "I want to talk about a regional issue. I’m going to show some pictures to our audience. You can’t do this, but this was at the tidal basin yesterday in Washington, D.C. Not a lot of social distancing was being practiced there. You have been concerned, I know, that Virginia hasn’t issued the same level of restrictions that Maryland and D.C. Have had. The inability to operate as a region here, is that a problem for you? Are you hoping the governor of Virginia in particular and the mayor of D.C., that all three of you are on the same page here?"
HOGAN: "Well, so in addition to meeting with all of the governors, we have been meeting as a region with the governor of Virginia, with the mayor of D.C. We talked on Friday. We’re going to be talking again, I believe, tomorrow. We’re all taking actions and trying to work together, but yeah, the social distancing is not being enforced and it’s a little crazy to see the kind of crowds at the cherry blossoms. People have to listen. There are people that are out there, and you are endangering not only yourselves but your fellow citizens by not listening to these warnings. We have been getting pretty tough out here in Maryland on folks, limiting people to groups of ten. We were chastising all these spring breakers who came back from partying in Florida and told them they need to self-quarantine for 14 days otherwise they’re risking the lives of their parents and grandparents and friends. People of all ages. 40% of our cases are under 40 years old. We had a 10-month-old, 5-year-old who have gotten this disease. People are kidding themselves if they think they should enjoy being out there, business as normal. We have get people off the streets and out of crowds."
