[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No in person school for any DC school student.

Deemed unsafe.

Lists of states updated on the "must quarantine".   Deemed unsafe to travel to them.

Thousands of folks on the Mall from all over the country (ooh, maybe some of those "bad" states" even).

That is okay.

+1. Returning with my family to DC from a Covid hot zone next week. Spouse and I had planned to quarantine with kids at home before returning to offices, which are reopening next week.

No way in hell will I do that now. I’m tempted to ditch the masks as well. If Mayor Bowser doesn’t care any more about the citizens of our city than this, why the hell should I sacrifice?[/quote]

So Mayor Bowser is solely responsible for public protests occurring on federal land?  How convenient for you! First you travel — to a covid hot spot, then you want to blame ditching your masks — oh the sacrifice! - on the mayor. What a patriot! 
What about those of us who have been wearing masks and physically distancing while people like you travel to covid hot spots?  Your priorities are.....interesting. [/quote]

Mayor Bowser could have stopped this and you know it.  But she chose not to, either out of cowardice or misguided conviction. Either way she’s putting her personal political goals and ambitions ahead of what’s best for the people of DC

Another possible option is that she believes the whole mask thing is BS.

Terrible optics for a leader, anyway you look at it. If she doesn’t take Covid seriously why should we?[/quote]

I have no problem with people protesting, but they are being bussed from all over which consists of spending several hours in an enclosed space with strangers. I am sure they were not all wearing masks.  If that is okay, which I am fine with, then it needs to be okay to open up running tracks, pools, splash pads, museums, etc.  I am so tired of people claiming it's okay not to following protocols at an important event but you must follow protocols when running on the side walk or going for a walk.  It's nonsense.[/quote]
