Does this apply to independent schools?

Do you honestly think that an independent school is going to act "independently" on this issue? ha.

Bowser was waiting for buy in from her cronies and major contributors.

This isn’t actual shelter in place, no language about starting off the streets, just limiting size of gatherings and maintaining social distancing. Still too little, Bowser.

Places like salons and barber shops that were previously allowed to remain open are now closed.

Restaurants can still do take-out.

I had a virtual visit with my PCP from Georgetown this afternoon and am now presumed positive. As my doctor explained to me, in DC it is insanely difficult to get a test at the moment because there is such a dirth of tests. So in order to get a test, one must have had known contact with a positive case or be in extreme respiratory distressed and hospitalized and need approval to get one of experimental drugs (the HIV or malaria drugs) OR be a health care worker with known exposure. Otherwise, you can't get a test. AND my PCP said tests are running 5-7 days for results, even with a private lab like Labcorp. So those daily numbers we see on the news, those are mainly from results taken from patients last week. And in many cases those people are better now, a week later. My doctor is super frustrated, but as long as I am not in extreme respiratory distrress or my fever isn't over 105, I am to just stay home. So no one really knows how many real covad postivies there are in DC (or the DMV for that matter). We need a shelter in place.

105?? That’s a high fever!! Don’t people get seizures and become delirious at that temperature? How are you supposed to get yourself to the ER at that point? I hope you’re getting good care at home.
