| If NYC orders a shelter in place, will DC? |

| Yes. Especially once they actually begin testing and we see the scope of this. |

And then we’ll move up the leader board. As a reference, the US was at 3700 on Sunday night (March 15). Today (March 17), it’s 6400. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries |

| 6400 and we don’t test people. Could be 4x that or more. |

| Today the count is 9,500. 3100 new cases. This is a doubling rate of every two days (amplified as more testing comes online.) |

| My 88 year old dad is being released from acute care on Monday in New York. Would you travel do you think if I go I'll be able to come back. |

Worth the chance. You really should bring him back to DC. An 88 year old man coming out of acute care in NYC won’t last long without help. I would drive, and bring latex gloves, mask, and Purell. Plus snacks and water. No stopping accept for gas. No public restrooms - pee on the side of road |

The District’s elected attorney general just called for a shelter in place order here. That power resides with Mayor Bowser who will address public tomorrow morning

Does this apply to independent schools? |

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