In the last week, the governments of Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia have set official dates to begin the reopening of businesses. Even though public health agencies in all three jurisdictions lack adequate testing capabilities and contact tracing methods, lawmakers have made it clear they intend to reopen closed businesses and public spaces later in May.
Despite the praise he has received as a sort of stoic foil compared to the outburst-prone President Donald Trump, Hogan has shown he is no more scientifically oriented in his administration's response to the pandemic than any other member of the capitalist establishment.
Both state governments have cited a flattening number of hospitalizations to proclaim the coast clear for reopening. A recent report in the Washington Post titled “More people in District dying outside of hospitals during pandemic” notes a 74 percent increase in individuals pronounced dead at the scene over the same period in 2019. “The number of people in the District dying outside hospitals spiked as the novel coronavirus started its sweep through the nation’s capital, raising concerns that people suffering a wide range of critical ailments are not seeking medical attention,” the article states.
