Gov. Larry Hogan has announced that, on Friday, March 5, Maryland will commemorate the one-year anniversary of the state’s first confirmed cases of COVID-19.
The governor will declare Friday a day of remembrance in honor of the more than 7,700 Marylanders who have lost their lives during the pandemic.
A twilight ceremony will be held at the State House on Friday evening, and in coordination with local leaders, buildings across the state will be lit up amber. Members of the public are encouraged to join the ceremony virtually via livestream.
“One year ago at this time, we could not have fathomed the toll that the pandemic would take on each and every one of us,” said Hogan. “On Friday, we will pause as a state to remember all those we have lost, and express our gratitude to the healthcare heroes and frontline workers whose many sacrifices have saved lives and kept us safe.”
The SOB remembers the first case and celebrates it. But he hasn’t remembered to get the vaccine that Trump got him, out to the MD residents. I and many more am up in the years with numerous underlining conditions and still trying to get the first shot. Contacted the Wicomico Health Department several times online and get the same run around. Don’t call us, we’ll call you. No need to call because I tried that once with no answer. Priorities are all screwed up in MD or this county.
Well, I guess “Marylanders” will celebrate in a couple months that $9.46M South Korean assistance that went POOF!
Or the $5M for the bay bridge study of a 3rd span.
or….nah, thats good enough for now. Larry looks cold on his corner!
They really dont know the first person to have it or the last one that will have it…. such jackasses
