Essential workers are putting their health as well as their families health on the line everyday to provide services to people. Furthermore, essential workers have no choice, but to work because we are not put on furlough or making enough hours to make ends meet. Our health is just as important as every other person's health.

It is impossible to perform personal grooming services while maintaining CDC social distancing guidelines. We should not have to sacrifice our health and safety for the vanity and financial gain of others. One client in, one client out is not sustainable for most salons or service providers. The PPE that would be required to do our jobs safely is both unobtainable and costly. Not to mention the fact that it should go to healthcare providers first. Blowdryer, ceiling fans, and air conditioning units could cause the aerosolized virus to spread even further throughout a salon. It’s simply not safe for us to work until we’re in Phase Green. Many of us have compromised immune systems or underlying conditions, or have loved ones who do. Please help us keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.

We follow strict,already regulated, sanitation orders and risk of 1 client to 1 stylist ratio in salon @ a time can pose little to no risk. We currently are receiving no financial compensation so we are all struggling to survive since vast majority are self employed. As time goes on we risk losing clientele we worked desperately to achieve, personal hygiene gets worse and can carry bacteria from going to places like grocery stores, medical facilities, etc currently running. We can help our economy through keeping our suppliers running & local government taxes coming in and health officials stay cleaned up and adding back to society. Please take this seriously as we are a large population not receiving financial assistance with families to care for. Thank you

Amazon needs to provide protection and assurance to its front-line employees during this difficult time. That is why employees should not face retribution when they return to work after the two weeks. Employees continue to show loyalty to the company by going to work when scheduled despite the unsafe environment they experience while in the warehouse. Every day they fulfill orders for all of Amazon’s customers around the globe, allowing Amazon to achieve its mission and vision which is to be “customer-centric” by serving their customers and focusing on what an Amazon customer would want. We believe this safety concern needs to be addressed quickly to help flatten the curve and save lives. Many front-line workers are putting themselves and their families at risk so we can continue purchasing items and protecting ourselves at home. We need to care for our front-line workers: nurses, doctors, police officers, grocery clerks, warehouse workers. Many companies are prioritizing the health and safety of their stakeholders, especially their employees. If so many businesses can provide relief in some ways, why can't Amazon?

Not only is this important to the graduating class but also to the families of those graduating. This is the moment all individuals attending college are looking forward to.

People who are paying taxes and in repayment plan are in just as much trouble as others and the relief benefit should go into their hands to stay afloat and not get further in debt. It is unfair to say all americans get help with the relief act because you are leaving many of us behind.

I am a state board certified cosmetologist and sole owner of a small business/beauty salon for 25 years with no employees. I have the training and experience working in a sanitary environment. Procedures are to disinfect work area, implements, and sanitize before each client on a regular basis.

Governor Hogan is doing everything in his power to safeguard the lives of Marylanders andcto promote unity and hope. He deserves our thanks and appreciation in order to continue the great work and leadership on our behalf.

The survival of the independent salon professionals is at risk. We are facing a grave financial hardship. We need our district officials to see what this is doing to our industry and livelihood.

They have worked 13 years to graduate. We can not take their ceremony from them. They have worked so hard and deserve this. They should not be punished for the virus. It's not their fault and they would be the only class to not get a proper graduation. Many parents have invested in their senior from kindergarten till now, senior pics, invitations and caps and gowns on top of the emotional toll it has put on many in absolute tears and devastation today.

For the past four years, we have witnessed the rapid rise in violent speech and actions from homegrown White Supremacist and American Nazi groups in our country. They are armed, organized, and aggressive in their recruiting. They have harassed, terrorized, and murdered members of the American Public. They are outspoken and unapologetic about their motives and their mission. This week while our country, along with countries across the globe, is in the throes of an uncontrolled pandemic these organized hate groups have taken to the streets. They are coordinating their efforts and are gathering together in state capitals armed and wearing the “uniform” of a paramilitary force. Their only agenda is to intimidate and terrorize. These groups call themselves “patriots”. They are not. They are bullies whose only aim is to intimidate. They claim that they are the defenders of Democracy. They are not. They are a dangerous and immediate threat to our Democracy. They claim protection under the Constitution. Their claim is false. They are terrorists whose self-stated mission is to disrupt and dismantle freedoms which belong to each member of the American Public. For so many of us right now, we are focused on supporting each other as we navigate through the difficult days ahead. We understand that it will demand an unprecedented effort and we stand ready and willing to meet the challenge. But we need you, all of our elected officials to stand by us.
