Are these politicians going into quarantine, or are rules just for the little people?

And, a predictable answer:

Rules are for the peons.

I think your trip falls under essential travel because it involves offering care to a family member. I think you both don't have to quarantine but monitor yourselves for symptoms:

I think the mandate is to help stop nonessential travel like vacationing.

These self-inflicted errors are one reason why these orders fail. You either set an example by making the powerful follow the same procedures or you are like Trump and Bowser. Clown show.

How will this really work for the Aug 28 BLM March?

The city has said people attending that protest should arrive early and quarantine, but who knows.

Maybe that will be deemed essential? I don’t understand how they’re differentiating between essential travel and essential workers who are traveling. If you’re a hospital worker who went to a hot spot for personal travel, do you take leave from work for two weeks and quarantine when you get back? Or are you exempt since you’re an essential worker?

none of them are going to self quarantine for two weeks when they come back so why should any of us normal folks

It's an essential governmental activity. Therefore no quarantine.

It's been declared non-essential, and the mayor says anyone planning to go to the march from one of the states subject to quarantine should arrive in time to quarantine first. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/coronavirus-dc-rally-maryland-virginia/2020/07/31/98ad4612-d333-11ea-8c55-61e7fa5e82ab_story.html

So by August 14 there will be an influx of thousands of would-be marchers into the city, who will be under strict quarantine? Where will they be staying? Will the city keep tabs on them?

The lawmakers who went to Atlanta for Lewis’s funeral are already mostly exempted from the order — they aren’t quarantining when they arrive here from whatever covid-heavy states they represent, either. And they’re easy enough to track if necessary — how many total people are we talking about, anyway?

I would not expect that anyone is actually going to follow the guidance that the BLM march is subject to the order. But at least that’s what the city is saying. I suspect a lot of D.C. residents are also not following it when they return from summer travels. The bigger hole in the order’s logic is that Ocean City is exempt because it’s in Maryland, even though it has a higher covid rate than most other beaches within driving distance of D.C.

Also keeps tourism down.
