[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no mass evacuating DC or the close-in suburbs (even outside the beltway). This has been discussed many times. People need to be able to shelter in place.[/quote] Yup, this. Since around 2005 on July 4th (in non-pandemic times) the outflow from the Mall is managed as an evacuation drill. It is a partnership between DC, MD, VA and federal law enforcement. If you’ve ever been in or watched that traffic as hundreds of thousands try to leave at once, you know it’s not happening. We also have the examples of the earthquake and 9/11, both of which caused business districts to empty out. In those incidents people were commuting for 3-4 hours. In any event, there’s no need to evacuate DC. While the possibility for violence exists, there’s no reason why private citizens in their homes would become targets of mob violence.[/quote]
