[quote=Anonymous]Cases in DC are starting to skyrocket again, but Bowser and Nesbitt seem to be going out of their way not to blame indoor dining. They're literally blaming everything else but indoor dining (this from a woman who traveled to a state on DC's quarantine list but then ignored her own guidance). DC's contract tracers also aren't asking people to specify whether they dined indoors or outdoors, an astounding misstep.

From the City Paper: "Research published this week in the journal Nature combined public health and cell phone data to determine which types of businesses were associated with the highest levels of virus transmission during the peak of the infection in the spring. Of the 10 metropolitan areas studied, D.C. had the highest proportion of new cases attributable to restaurant-related activities despite any precautionary measures taken during this time period."

It's truly sad that there's no safety net for restaurant workers, but it's also completely messed up that our kids are still learning from home while restaurants are unsafely crowded every weekend, causing this pandemic to only get stronger.

While we're at it, gyms and churches need to shut down again, too.

DC records most new coronavirus cases in nearly six months:
