[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet that they will.  I also think it is not a responsible choice given what we know (and more importantly don’t know) about the new variant and how effective our current mitigation measures are in controlling the spread of that variant.

Yet with school districts now open across the country, regardless of the fact that community spread in most of those areas is also off the charts (which some on this board describe as “schools have opened without problems!”), I don’t see how DC, politically, can be the last holdout.  But hold on tight because our numbers are about ready to look as bad as the rest of the country’s. [/quote]
