[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole disaster is a major blow to the statehood campaign.  DC with such a small geographic footprint and a high number of medical facilities/providers should have been a model jurisdiction.  DC residents have done their part with the highest level of mask wearing in the country and suffered through closed schools, even when the science said it was safe to open.  And for our patience and vigilance we were rewarded with this system.  The website should have been developed and stress tested months ago.  But we are left with website that appears to have been developed by a teenager.  This is Cuomo level negligence and the blame is on the mayor and council for lack of oversight.  They all should face challengers the next election.  [/quote]

This x 100.

It is simply unfathomable that the city had from May to December to plan this response and this is what we ended up with. I am actually starting to believe that the DCHealth draft plan was just a cut and paste job from another plan with nobody actually attending any of the planning meeting or any rehearsals being conducted.

DC is resting on the fact that by and large it has an educated and compliant resident base. DC locked things down in March 2020 and people have by and large followed best practices. I have family in several states and I am continually shocked by the laissez-faire attitudes of Socal, Ariz, Connecticut, Washington and Oregon.

DC complains about the problems of its interconnectivity. These issues pale in comparison to the size issues faced by CA. CA has more health care professionals than DC has residents.

DC should have been a model of vaccine modeling. You want to vaccinate out of state workers, great, make them register as an out of state worker and give a finite number of appointments each week. You want to figure out why there is zero impact to a highly affected demographic? Have stand by contact teams that go into the community with information, testing and vaccines... Don't wait for them to simply trust you.

DC's success to this point is due to its citizens. DC govt at all levels has failed and shown no interest in remediating, because, this is DC and there will be no fall out.

Elections have consequences and we have voted this circus in ourselves... Several times. [/quote]
