The current infection rate among Marylanders under the age of 35 is more than 50% higher than the rate among those who are 35 and older. Younger people seem to feel bulletproof, but we cannot afford to stop being vigilant and cautious.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: maryland is too weirdly shaped a state to not be using ferries. it is basic geography and we are worse off for the loss of bay travel. There Ought To Be A Ferry.
