Y’all this is no joke. Limit time outside as much as possible. Consider a mask if you’re outside today. Air quality index is 192 downtown, around 180 where I live in North Baltimore. Anything above 150 is unhealthy and above 200 is “very” unhealthy.

Today is also, I hope, a reminder that journalism, especially at the local level, is an act of civil service. We're not fake, we're not the enemy of the people, we don't make up sources or quotes or facts. We tell stories.

I am worried that the actions being taken by Gov. Hogan will cause a false sense of security in people, which will then, in about two weeks, turn into a spike in cases, deaths and hospitalizations.

Trump also bonded with Putin over a scorn for journalists. “Get rid of them. Fake news is a great term, isn't it? You don’t have this problem in Russia, but we do.” “We also have,” Putin answered, in English. “It’s the same.” They shared a chuckle.
