[quote=Anonymous]I fear that Bowser’s victory lap may be premature.

This was in the Washington Post recently.  So why exactly are large construction projects operating, when other states like NY have closed them.  Bowser? Bowser?

“I work on a construction job site with 150 to 200 others in an environment that is impossible to protect from the coronavirus. Our “essential” work is constructing a new apartment building — not a bridge, not a road, not a hospital, but new, non-subsidized apartments..... Why is it “essential” that we continue to build apartments, hotels, houses or shopping centers? Construction lobbyists such as the District of Columbia Building Industry Association, along with officials in the District, Maryland and Virginia, think we should. But their economic goals shouldn’t come at the expense of our health or that of our families during a global pandemic.”
