No it’s not. The WHO is looking at contact tracing that was pretty thorough.

Umm, No it was not thorough. In fact, take a look at the NY Times breakign feed:

Coronavirus Live Updates: W.H.O. Walks Back Claim That Asymptomatic Transmission is Rare

A top expert at the World Health Organization on Tuesday walked back her earlier assertion that transmission of the coronavirus by people who do not have symptoms is “very rare.”

Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, who made the original comment at a W.H.O. briefing on Monday, said that it was based on just two or three studies and that it was a “misunderstanding” to say asymptomatic transmission is rare globally.

“I was just responding to a question, I wasn’t stating a policy of W.H.O. or anything like that,” she said.

When it comes to international government entities and establishment media, I'm going to withhold willingness to blindly accept their word as gospel.

Do people in DC even understand that there is a world that exist outside of 495? Even California is easing restrictions and that state's leadership has its head further up its behind than folks in the DMV. Many states are already back on the field. The Big East announced its soccer plans for the Fall. JefCup is in August as is SD Surf Cup.

Somehow I think state health departments are not prioritizing the potential soccer career of your 8th grader the way you think they should.

OP, while the article I'm sharing is reflective of one career, I do believe culturally there definitely is indeed a societal bubble. For the urban crawl area of the NCR, absolutely. After all, this isn't the information age, it's the confirmation bias age.

Nice burn. What you don't get is state health departments should not be making decisions on what everyone is allowed to do. What businesses are essential and non-essential, what activities are essential and non-essential, which public gatherings are important and not important. This is not China.

Maybe they shouldn't, but they do...so there's that.

You moron. The point is that other parts of the country are returning to the field and other activities. The inside the beltway is the one of the only parts of the country still in lockdown. If you pulled your head out and looked outside the bubble, you would see that the work, even Europe, is returning to normal. That should indicate that your bubble should also begging returning to normal.

Europe peaked before us. NYC just went into Phase 1 on Monday.

Sit tight. Many States (up to 15) are starting to report record high positive rates the past few days, most likely a result of relaxed social distancing.

Locally, Arlington cases are starting to rise again:

Of course. Did you think we were just going to beat this thing? Until we accumulate herd immunity, there are going to be ups and downs as flareups occur. Stay the course.

Harvard is going online this fall semester. I suspect they have better medical expertize than the organizers of Jeff Cup or Surf Cup. And Jeff Cup was just moved from June to August so scheduling a tournament to a particular date does not mean that the tournament will actually take place.
